How much fuel does a car use to run 100 kilometers?

Different cars, different models and displacements, and different driving habits result in varying fuel consumption. Generally, for a family sedan with a displacement of around 1.6 liters, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is approximately 6-8 liters. Depending on driving habits, it may be slightly higher. Road conditions also play a role; fuel consumption tends to be higher in congested urban areas. Situations that increase fuel consumption include: Low tire pressure: Check whether the tire pressure meets the standard. If the tires are underinflated, fuel consumption will increase. Tire wear: Inspect the degree of tire wear. If the tires are severely worn, slipping may occur frequently, increasing fuel consumption. Brake system malfunction: If abnormal noises are heard from the wheels while driving or starting, promptly check the bearings and brake system for faults. If the wheels do not rotate normally, it will affect the vehicle's speed and increase fuel consumption.
I usually drive for commuting to work in an ordinary family sedan. Under normal circumstances, the fuel consumption is about 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways, the fuel consumption is lower, possibly dropping to around 7 liters, while in city traffic jams, it can go up to over 11 liters. There are many factors affecting fuel consumption, such as driving habits: frequent sudden acceleration and braking will significantly increase fuel consumption; using air conditioning also adds about one liter. From my experience, maintaining a steady speed, preferably around 80 kilometers per hour, is the most fuel-efficient. Also, regular car maintenance, like changing air filters and checking tire pressure, can help improve fuel efficiency to some extent. Don't worry too much about specific numbers; just keep an eye on the fuel gauge regularly.
