What do average fuel consumption and optimal fuel consumption mean?
1 Answers
Average fuel consumption is the average value of fuel consumption under several different road conditions under specific conditions. Optimal fuel consumption is the lowest instantaneous fuel consumption. Average fuel consumption is comprehensive fuel consumption: It is the fuel consumption "calculated" based on the fuel consumption in urban and suburban conditions. The basic calculation method is to divide the actual fuel consumption by the actual mileage traveled. Average fuel consumption is what is generally referred to as fuel consumption, defined as the amount of fuel used by a vehicle to travel a unit distance, commonly measured in liters per 100 kilometers, i.e., fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling a certain distance of 100 kilometers on the road, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. Optimal fuel consumption is the lowest instantaneous fuel consumption: Optimal fuel consumption is the lowest instantaneous fuel consumption. Instantaneous fuel consumption is a technical term that appeared after the advent of vehicle onboard computers. The strict physical definition is the ratio of the amount of fuel consumed by the car to the distance traveled with that fuel in an infinitely small (instantaneous) time. An infinitely small time interval cannot be achieved, so in practice, instantaneous fuel consumption tests mostly use about two seconds as the test time interval. Therefore, the instantaneous fuel consumption value given by modern vehicle onboard computers is actually an average fuel consumption value with a two-second time unit.
