What does dte mean?

[OMartin]

In automobiles, dte refers to the distance to empty, indicating the maximum distance a vehicle can travel with the remaining fuel in the tank at normal driving speeds. Methods to improve the distance to empty: Maintain a steady speed: Keep a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead, ensure steady driving, and reduce unnecessary braking to lower fuel consumption, effectively increasing the vehicle's distance to empty. Maintain proper tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases fuel consumption and reduces the distance to empty; keeping normal tire pressure can reduce fuel consumption by about 3.3% and improve the distance to empty. Reduce load: Increased weight leads to higher fuel consumption. For every 10 kg of additional load, fuel consumption increases by 1%. Therefore, reducing the load can decrease fuel consumption and increase the distance to empty.
