What Causes a Sudden Increase in Car Fuel Consumption During Summer?
1 Answers
During summer, high tire pressure and frequent use of windows and air conditioning can lead to increased fuel consumption. Below is relevant information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a hundred kilometers at a certain speed on the road. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. Manufacturers measure this value in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converting it into speed parameters. They then calculate the theoretical experimental fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the model by driving at specified speeds. 2. Road condition fuel consumption: This is a fuel indicator calculated based on repeated tests of a vehicle driving on specified roads at prescribed speeds and times, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The standard specifies that each cycle includes various driving conditions, recording parameters such as gear shift timing, parking time, driving speed, acceleration, braking, and deceleration for each cycle. The values obtained from this method are closer to actual conditions.
