How to Check a Car's Fuel Consumption per 100 Kilometers?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of a car can be obtained through the dashboard or by filling up the fuel tank, noting the current mileage, and then calculating it after driving for a period of time. Below is relevant information about car fuel consumption: 1. Factors affecting car fuel consumption: Fuel consumption can be influenced by many factors, such as the condition of the car, road conditions, driving habits, and even weather conditions can affect the level of fuel consumption. 2. Good habits for saving fuel: (1) Maintain good driving habits: Different driving habits can lead to variations in fuel consumption. During driving, frequent rapid acceleration or deceleration can increase the car's fuel consumption by 5%-10% compared to normal. (2) Shift gears frequently: Different road conditions require switching to different gears. For example, when going uphill, if you do not switch to L gear or a low gear, the car's fuel consumption will increase. (3) Maintain a steady speed: The most fuel-efficient speed for most cars is between 60-80 km/h. If the speed can be kept steady during driving, the car's fuel consumption will reach its optimal state.
I've been driving for decades, and checking fuel consumption is really not difficult: fill up the tank to the brim each time you refuel and record the mileage; after driving 100 kilometers, fill up again and note the amount of fuel added in liters. Then calculate: (fuel added divided by the 100 kilometers driven) gives you the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. In fact, daily driving habits are crucial—sudden braking and aggressive acceleration can cause fuel consumption to skyrocket, and driving in congested city traffic consumes much more fuel than on highways. It's recommended to develop a habit of regular checks, recording data weekly, whether in a small notebook or on your phone. This way, you can promptly notice changes, such as increased fuel consumption, which might indicate low tire pressure or engine carbon buildup, allowing timely action to save both fuel and money.
