How much is one bar of car fuel?
2 Answers
One bar of car fuel represents 10%, and the actual amount of fuel corresponding to one bar on the fuel gauge may vary depending on the vehicle model. Digital fuel gauges indicate the remaining fuel by the number of illuminated bars - more illuminated bars signify sufficient fuel, while only 1-2 bars indicate low fuel level requiring prompt refueling. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption, earning it the reputation as the 'blood' of automobiles. Engine oil consists of two components: base oil and additives, with the base oil being the primary constituent that determines the fundamental properties of the lubricant.
Back when I was learning auto repair, my mentor taught me that there's no fixed value for each fuel gauge segment. The fuel tank capacity determines the volume per segment - with most sedan tanks around 50 liters, an 8-segment gauge roughly equals about 6 liters per segment. But this is just a general reference; the actual amount depends on your specific model. The wide-top-narrow-bottom tank design makes the first half of fuel last noticeably longer - often the first two segments can cover 100km, while the latter segments deplete rapidly. When the gauge hits the red line, there's approximately one-eighth tank remaining. Timely refueling is crucial for fuel pump protection. I personally track refill amounts when the warning light comes on to determine my vehicle's actual reserve capacity.
