What does 17 liters per 100 kilometers mean?

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. The following is an introduction to fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Introduction to fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers at a certain speed on the road. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated at specified speeds to determine the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model. Calculation method of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Calculation method: (Fueling amount ÷ Fuel price) ÷ Kilometers traveled × 100 = Fuel consumption (liters). Most vehicles now display the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers.
17 liters per 100 kilometers means burning 17 liters of fuel to drive 100 kilometers. This concept sounds quite alarming. I usually get about 6-7 liters with my regular compact car, so this would cost significantly more. With fuel prices being so high now, it works out to about 1-2 yuan per kilometer. If I were to drive such a high-consumption vehicle every day, the monthly fuel expenses alone could amount to several hundred or even over a thousand yuan, which is almost half my rent. The key issue is that the more you drive this car, the more fuel it guzzles, especially on highways or mountain roads—the fuel gauge drops noticeably. I think it might be due to the car being too old or having a large displacement, like those older SUV models. It's worth checking the engine system—repairing it early or considering a vehicle change could save some expenses.
