What does 13 liters per 100 kilometers mean?
1 Answers
13 liters per 100 kilometers is equivalent to the fuel consumption of medium to large SUV models. For small-displacement vehicles, 13L/100km is considered relatively high, while for large-displacement vehicles, it's a normal phenomenon. Fuel consumption is influenced by factors such as engine displacement, personal driving habits, and road conditions. Personal driving habits also have an impact. Frequent driving on bumpy roads or in traffic congestion consumes more fuel compared to smooth road conditions; older cars consume more fuel than new ones; using air conditioning in summer consumes slightly more fuel than in winter; vehicles with higher RPMs tend to have higher fuel consumption; modified vehicles with larger and wider tires experience greater friction, leading to increased fuel consumption; adding a spoiler increases wind resistance, which also raises fuel consumption. When driving in urban areas, traffic congestion is often encountered. While waiting at traffic lights or in traffic jams, although the vehicle's mileage doesn't increase, the engine keeps running, causing the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers to rise. When driving, it's advisable to apply gentle throttle and avoid unnecessary high-speed driving. Look ahead into the distance; when there's a vehicle in front, you can release the accelerator pedal early and change lanes in advance.
