How many liters of fuel are consumed per 60 kilometers?
2 Answers
Generally, for a 1.6L displacement vehicle, driving on flat roads at a speed of at least 60 km/h under normal conditions, the fuel consumption is approximately 4-5 liters. Introduction to fuel consumption: Fuel consumption (Constant-Speed Fuel Economy): Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a vehicle is driving at a constant speed on good road surfaces. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for vehicles on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. Comprehensive fuel consumption: Comprehensive fuel consumption is tested under various conditions such as urban roads, highways, and different load capacities. It serves only as a reference, and actual fuel consumption may be higher or lower than this figure. For example, driving daily in busy city areas with frequent braking and acceleration can lead to higher fuel consumption, even reaching 10 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite normal.
I've been driving for over a decade, using my private car for daily commutes, and I feel that fuel consumption is quite variable. How many liters of fuel are needed for 60 kilometers? It mainly depends on your car type and driving conditions. For example, my regular family car averages 9 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, which translates to about 5.4 liters for 60 kilometers; on the highway, it drops to 7 liters/100km, so 60 kilometers would require 4.2 liters. However, using air conditioning or getting stuck in traffic can increase fuel consumption by over 20%. Once during summer traffic, I used nearly 6 liters for 60 kilometers. Driving habits also matter: gentle acceleration and fewer sudden brakes can save a lot of fuel. After developing these habits, I saved over a hundred yuan a year. Maintaining good car condition is crucial—regularly checking tire pressure is important since low pressure increases fuel consumption. I check mine monthly to ensure it's normal. Using an app to track trips can provide more accurate data, and I recommend it for beginners. In short, estimating around 5 liters in advance is reasonable, and carrying spare fuel gives peace of mind.
