What does average fuel consumption mean?
1 Answers
Average fuel consumption, commonly referred to as fuel consumption, is defined as the amount of fuel used by a vehicle per unit distance traveled. The commonly used unit is liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km), which is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Below is the method to calculate the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Find a gas station and fill up the tank (note: make sure you can see the fuel level from the fuel filler opening); 2. Reset the trip odometer to zero and start driving; 3. When the trip odometer reaches approximately 100 kilometers (it doesn’t have to be exactly 100 kilometers), find another gas station and fill up the tank to the same level as before, then record the amount of fuel added in liters; 4. Divide the recorded amount of fuel by the kilometers shown on the trip odometer and multiply by 100 to obtain a relatively accurate fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for your vehicle.
