How to Calculate Fuel Consumption More Accurately?
1 Answers
There are several methods to calculate your car's fuel consumption: 1. Theoretical Calculation Method: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = Fuel consumed (liters) ÷ Distance traveled (kilometers) × 100. 2. Common Practical Method: When the fuel gauge light comes on, fill up the tank completely and reset the trip meter to zero. When the fuel light comes on again, record the trip meter reading. Divide the liters of fuel added by the kilometers traveled, then multiply by 100. The result is your fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. 3. Averaging Method: A single manual calculation often yields less accurate results. For greater precision, perform this calculation three times with full tanks and take the average of the results.
