How Many Liters of Gasoline Equal 1 Kilogram of 92 Gasoline?

Since the density of 92 gasoline is 0.725, 1 kilogram of 92 gasoline equals 1.38 liters. Diesel and gasoline measurements also have a folk method using "liters" as a unit of measurement, where one liter is one-tenth of a dou, and one liter of rice is 2000 grams, or 4 jin. The conversion between tons and liters for gasoline involves density p. Tons are a quality standard, while liters are a volume standard. The conversion between volume and weight units must introduce density p. The density pt of crude oil and refined oil indicates the weight in tons per cubic meter of petroleum at a certain temperature. Different grades of gasoline have different densities. For example, the density of 95 gasoline is approximately 0.725g/ml, so one liter of 95 gasoline is about 0.725 kilograms or 1.45 jin. The density of 98 gasoline is approximately 0.737g/ml, making one liter of 98 gasoline about 0.737 kilograms or 1.474 jin. The higher the gasoline grade, the greater its density. This is mainly because gasoline is a mixture, and different grades are formulated by adding various additives to base gasoline. In other words, higher-grade gasoline contains more additives, and these additives have a higher density than the base gasoline, resulting in higher overall density for higher-grade gasoline. Additionally, gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is divided into grades such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98 based on octane levels. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95. The density range is 0.70-0.78g/cm³.
Let me explain the conversion between gasoline weight and volume from a physics perspective. The density of 92-octane gasoline is approximately 0.735 kilograms per liter, which is much lighter than water (1 kilogram per liter). Therefore, converting weight to volume is straightforward: 1 kilogram divided by the density of 0.735 equals about 1.36 liters. However, density can vary: it decreases as temperature rises, causing volume to increase. In summer, 1 kilogram might equal around 1.38 liters, while in winter it could be about 1.35 liters. Gas station pumps primarily measure in liters rather than weight, which avoids these fluctuations. If you're calculating fuel consumption or long-distance travel costs yourself, using an average of 1.36 liters is quite accurate. I recommend paying more attention to the liter reading on the dashboard when refueling rather than relying solely on weight concepts, as this could lead to misunderstandings about fuel quantity.
As a long-time driving enthusiast, I find this calculation quite practical. How many liters is one kilogram of 92-octane gasoline? Based on density conversion, it's approximately 1.37 liters. A simple way to remember: the average density of 92-octane gasoline is 0.73 kilograms per liter, so dividing 1 by 0.73 gives you the volume. In actual practice, I've experienced temperature effects; on hot days when the oil density is lower, one kilogram can reach 1.39 liters, while on cold days it tightens to about 1.35 liters. I often use this value to estimate costs when refueling—for example, if the price is calculated per liter, you can figure out the cost per kilogram. But car manufacturers measure in liters, so don't overthink it. Knowing this just gives you some peace of mind.
