How to Calculate Car Fuel Consumption Formula?
2 Answers
Fuel consumed/distance traveled = fuel consumption per kilometer. The following is relevant knowledge about fuel consumption. 1, Types of fuel consumption: divided into constant-speed fuel consumption and road cycle fuel consumption. 2, Bad habits affecting fuel consumption: aggressive driving habits like seizing every gap, long-distance driving at high speed in low gear, unnecessary high-speed driving. 3, Points to note: check tire pressure, wear degree, bearing braking system, clutch plate, engine, spark plugs, and clean them regularly. 4, Methods to reduce consumption: summer air conditioning system checks are essential, frequent hard braking is the main cause of high fuel consumption, relying on inertia driving is the key to fuel saving, and air conditioning in small-displacement cars should not be turned on too strongly.
I've been driving for many years, and calculating fuel consumption is quite simple. Before each trip, I fill up the tank and note the mileage. For example, after driving about 500 kilometers, I return to the same gas station to fill up again. Then, I check the number of liters added—say, 40 liters. The formula is to divide the liters of fuel added by the kilometers driven and then multiply by 100 to get the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. My old car usually maintains around 8 liters per 100 kilometers. If it suddenly increases, I check the tire pressure or engine for issues. On long trips, this method helps estimate fuel costs and saves me a lot of money. I recommend doing this test regularly, combined with habits like gentle acceleration and avoiding sudden braking, as it truly reduces fuel consumption—both eco-friendly and cost-effective.
