What does avg mean?

AVG displayed on a car is the abbreviation for average, meaning the average value. Below are the specific details about the related content: Introduction: It indicates the average fuel consumption per unit. The displayed average value on the dashboard can be adjusted via buttons or other parts (such as the turn signal lever in some models), such as showing the average fuel consumption per kilometer, average speed per 100 kilometers, average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, etc. The specific display depends on the vehicle's own program. Additional Information: Fill up the fuel tank and reset the odometer to zero, then drive more than 100 kilometers on your usual route. After that, refuel at the same gas station (it's not necessary to use up all the fuel, just fill it up again), record the amount of fuel added in liters as A, and check the kilometer reading on the odometer, recording it as B.
I remember often seeing the AVG icon on the dashboard while driving, which stands for average fuel consumption. It indicates how many liters of gasoline the vehicle consumes per 100 kilometers on average during the trip. This number is super practical—it helps you monitor driving habits. Smooth acceleration and deceleration result in lower fuel consumption, while sudden starts and stops cause it to spike. I frequently observe its changes during long-distance drives. When cruising steadily at around 80 km/h on the highway, the AVG drops to 7-8 liters, but it jumps above 10 liters in city traffic jams. Most cars allow you to switch to the AVG page for detailed data using steering wheel buttons. After learning this, I developed habits like gently pressing the accelerator and avoiding sudden braking, which not only saves fuel costs but also reduces carbon emissions. Regular maintenance, such as keeping tire pressure optimal, also helps maintain low fuel consumption. The calculation is automatically based on total fuel consumption and total mileage of the trip.
