How many liters of fuel are needed for 100 kilometers?
1 Answers
To determine the fuel consumption for 100 kilometers, the average fuel consumption value must first be known. Fuel consumption is a comprehensive value influenced by various factors such as the engine, engine displacement, driving habits, road conditions, and more. Below is an introduction to fuel consumption: 1. Instantaneous fuel consumption: This refers to the fuel consumption at a specific moment. When the vehicle is in motion, it is displayed as liters per 100 kilometers, and when stationary, it is displayed as liters per hour. Therefore, instantaneous fuel consumption is highly variable and generally lacks reference value. 2. Average fuel consumption: The commonly referred-to fuel consumption is the average fuel consumption, typically calculated per 100 kilometers, also known as fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Simply put, it indicates how many liters of fuel the vehicle has consumed over the most recent 100 kilometers. However, there are nuances; for example, many vehicles do not account for the fuel consumed during idling when the engine is running but the vehicle is not moving during this 100-kilometer period.
