Is It Normal to Drive 500 Kilometers on a Full Tank of Gas?
1 Answers
Generally speaking, driving 500 kilometers on a full tank is considered normal. Here are some tips to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Avoid prolonged engine idling: When parked and idling, the engine consumes significantly more fuel than during normal driving. Therefore, it's best to turn off the engine when the vehicle is not in use for extended periods, such as when waiting for someone. During cold starts, warming up the engine should not exceed one minute; maintaining a few minutes of low-speed driving is sufficient. 2. Maintain good driving habits: Smooth and gentle driving is the most fuel-efficient. During acceleration, avoid stomping on the accelerator. The correct method is to accelerate smoothly and maintain a steady speed once a certain velocity is reached. When driving in congested areas, always assess the road conditions ahead to avoid sudden braking.
