What does 17 liters per 100 kilometers mean?
2 Answers
17 liters per 100 kilometers means that a car or vehicle consumes 17 liters of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, which is considered very high fuel consumption. Tips for saving fuel in cars: 1. Control the throttle appropriately: During daily driving, avoid stomping on the accelerator for momentary thrills, as this only significantly increases fuel consumption without saving much time. Especially when driving in urban areas with heavy traffic, pedestrians, and numerous traffic lights, even driving a supercar won't make you much faster than others, resulting only in high fuel consumption and danger. 2. Try not to drive at excessively high speeds or frequently overtake: For most vehicles, driving in the highest gear at a speed of 60-80 km/h is the most fuel-efficient. Control the throttle output and try to maintain a steady speed. When encountering downhill sections, you can appropriately ease off the throttle to let the car coast, but never coast in neutral. Additionally, avoid overtaking unless absolutely necessary.
17 liters per 100 kilometers is indeed quite staggering. That works out to over 1.3 yuan per kilometer (based on the current fuel price of 8 yuan per liter). When I fueled up my friend's old Patrol, my heart ached with every click of the fuel pump nozzle – it sounded like my wallet was screaming. The average family car consumes around 8-10 liters, so this 17-liter consumption is essentially double the cost. If you commute 50 kilometers daily, your monthly fuel expenses would easily exceed 2,000 yuan. But let's be honest, people who drive these gas-guzzlers usually either genuinely love off-road beasts or have company cars and don't pay out of pocket. Last time at the gas station, a guy driving a Grand Cherokee even said: 'If you can afford this car, why worry about a few liters of fuel?'
