How to Check the Average Fuel Consumption of a Car?
2 Answers
To check the average fuel consumption of a car, you should look at the fuel gauge. Here is some information about the average fuel consumption of a car: 1. Fuel Gauge: The fuel gauge on the engine displays the fuel level, showing and monitoring the fuel reserve in the tank and the fuel consumption. "F" indicates full. The low fuel indicator light reminds you to refuel as soon as possible. 2. Indicator Light: When this indicator light comes on, there is approximately 7.9 liters of fuel left in the tank. When the pointer reaches "E," there is still a small reserve of fuel left. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel consumed by the vehicle when driving at a certain speed for 100 kilometers. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is approximately how many liters.
I usually pay close attention to fuel consumption when driving, as gas isn't cheap. The most straightforward way to check average fuel consumption is through the trip computer display—switch between screens using steering wheel buttons or the instrument cluster menu. Some cars even have a dedicated fuel economy page on the central display. Be sure to distinguish between instantaneous fuel consumption and average fuel consumption—the latter is the long-term data you care about. If your dashboard doesn't have this feature, you can calculate it manually: fill up the tank, reset the odometer, then on your next refuel, divide the amount of gas added by the kilometers driven and multiply by 100 to get liters per 100 km. Memorizing fuel consumption data for frequently driven routes is especially useful—for example, 12 L/100 km in city traffic vs. just 7 L/100 km on highways—helping you save money when planning routes.
