How to Convert Fuel Consumption?
2 Answers
Methods for calculating fuel consumption: Calculate fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed. 1. Fill up the car's fuel tank until the pump automatically stops, and record the current mileage. 2. The next time you refuel, again fill up until the pump stops, and record the amount of fuel added. 3. Calculate the distance traveled since the last refill and use the relationship between distance and speed to determine fuel consumption. Below are other methods for calculating fuel consumption: Different driving styles can result in varying fuel consumption; you can use the vehicle's onboard computer to calculate instant and average fuel consumption. When calculating fuel consumption, first reset the data to ensure the average reading is accurate.
After driving for so many years, I understand that 'several liters of oil' refers to the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. For example, 6 liters of oil means burning 6 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers. Calculating actual fuel consumption is simple: fill up the tank and note the odometer, drive a few hundred kilometers, then fill up again and check the fuel added and the distance traveled. For instance, if you add 40 liters after driving 500 kilometers, the fuel consumption is 40÷5=8 liters (because 500 kilometers divided by 100 is 5 segments). With better driving habits, like using the air conditioning less or avoiding sudden acceleration, you can reduce fuel consumption by about 10%. Using fully synthetic engine oil can also improve engine efficiency and save some fuel. Remember, different car models vary greatly—small cars might consume 5 liters, while SUVs could use 10 liters or more—so you need to calculate based on your specific vehicle condition.
