Is Bear Fuel Consumption Accurate?
2 Answers
Bear Fuel Consumption calculates based on fuel refills and mileage traveled. As long as the records are correct, the fuel consumption calculated by Bear Fuel Consumption is the actual fuel consumption, making it the most accurate methodologically. Below are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Habits and Road Conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly related to driving habits and road conditions. Avoid heavy acceleration; gradual acceleration when starting is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator heavily when starting, as heavy acceleration consumes 2 to 3 times more fuel than starting at a normal speed. 2. Braking: Maintaining distance and avoiding frequent braking saves even more fuel. If you don't maintain distance, you'll easily need to brake on the road. When braking, the gear of an automatic transmission car will drop, requiring the car to pull up from a lower gear again. Starting from a stop or a low gear requires the engine to consume more fuel.
In my daily commute, I often use the Fuelio app to track fuel expenses, and I find its calculations generally quite accurate. As long as I fill up the tank and record the mileage each time I refuel, the average error is minimal, around 0.5L/100km. However, in practice, it is influenced by driving habits, such as how quickly I accelerate or whether I use the air conditioning, causing minor fluctuations in the data—but these fall within the normal range. I recommend regularly checking the historical charts generated by the app and sharing experiences with other drivers. You can also verify reliability by comparing averages. Over long-term use, it has helped me save a lot on fuel costs, and developing good habits is key.
