What does '10 oil' mean?

[SpencerLynn]

Usually when people say how many 'oil' a car consumes, they are referring to how many liters of fuel the car uses per 100 kilometers. '10 oil' means 10 liters. Methods to determine car fuel consumption: Fuel consumption ÷ kilometers traveled × 100 = L/100KM. The numbers before 1.6T and 1.8T represent the engine displacement, which is the sum of the volumes of all cylinders. Larger displacement generally means greater power and higher fuel consumption. Factors affecting car fuel consumption: The amount of fuel a car consumes is not only related to the car itself but also to the driver's habits and road conditions. If driving habits are poor and the car is frequently driven on congested roads, the fuel consumption will inevitably be relatively high.

I'm a new driver, and I was confused when someone said the car uses 'ten oil'. After checking, it means the car consumes 10 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, which is burning 10 liters of gasoline for every 100 kilometers driven. For beginners, understanding fuel consumption is very practical, as it helps calculate refueling costs. For example, if the fuel price is 7 yuan per liter, 100 kilometers would cost 70 yuan. My small sedan consumes about 10 liters in the city, possibly due to my bad habits: frequent hard braking and always using the air conditioning, which consumes more fuel. If driven steadily on the highway, it can drop to 8 liters. A reminder to everyone learning to drive: pay attention to speed, as 60-80 kilometers per hour is the most fuel-efficient, and avoid long idling to prevent waste. In short, ten liters is considered normal for an average family car—not too fuel-consuming but still has room for optimization.

Having driven for thirty years, the term 'ten liters' is deeply ingrained in my mind, meaning 10 liters of gasoline consumed per 100 kilometers. Looking back to my younger days driving an old Jeep, the fuel consumption often reached 12 or 13 liters. Now, my SUV consistently stays around 10 liters. The reasons for higher fuel consumption could be vehicle aging, engine carbon buildup, or frequent stop-and-go in congested urban areas. In terms of control techniques, I always remind myself to start smoothly and avoid opening windows too much, as increased air resistance can lead to higher consumption. Switching to low-viscosity oil in winter helps save fuel. Ten liters isn't a major issue, but it's always good to improve, saving both money and hassle.

As someone who cares about green living, when I hear '10 liters per 100km', I immediately think of carbon emissions. It means consuming 10 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers, emitting approximately 23 kilograms of CO2. This puts considerable pressure on the environment, so I recommend choosing vehicles with lower fuel consumption or hybrids. Hybrid vehicles can easily reduce consumption to 6-7 liters per 100km. Improving daily driving habits, such as maintaining steady speeds and avoiding sudden acceleration, can help keep fuel consumption within 8-9 liters. Supporting low-carbon travel is not only environmentally friendly but also extends engine life.
