Is 7 liters per 100 kilometers considered high fuel consumption?
1 Answers
Not particularly fuel-consuming, as the basic fuel consumption for most cars ranges from 6 to 8 liters. However, exceeding 7.5 liters is considered relatively high fuel consumption. The term 'liters per 100 kilometers' refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when traveling 100 kilometers at a certain speed on the road. It's a theoretical indicator for vehicles. A car consuming 7 liters per 100 kilometers means it uses 7 liters of gasoline to travel 100 kilometers. Below is relevant information: About gasoline: The English name for gasoline is Gasoline (US)/Petrol (UK). It appears as a transparent, flammable liquid with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into different grades based on octane levels, such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95. Gasoline is produced by refining various gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, including straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, blended with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.
