How to Check Fuel Consumption on the Car Dashboard?
1 Answers
On the car dashboard, fuel consumption can be checked by looking at the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge is used to display and monitor the fuel reserve in the tank and the fuel consumption rate, where 'F' stands for full and 'E' stands for empty. Some car models allow you to view fuel consumption through the onboard computer. More details are as follows: 1. Fuel Consumption: This refers to the fuel economy indicator when the car is driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. Specifically, the fuel consumption displayed on the car dashboard is relatively accurate. However, the displayed results are only a reference during vehicle use, and the actual fuel consumption should ultimately be based on real-world driving conditions. 2. There are two types of fuel consumption displays on the car dashboard: average fuel consumption and instantaneous fuel consumption. Instantaneous fuel consumption indicates the fuel consumption at a specific moment. Its display unit is 'liters per 100 kilometers (L/100Km)' when the vehicle is moving, and 'liters per hour (L/H)' when the engine is running but the vehicle is stationary. By observing instantaneous fuel consumption, you can understand the fuel consumption when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling. Additionally, instantaneous fuel consumption helps you determine the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at different speeds, allowing you to identify the most fuel-efficient speed for your vehicle.
