What does fuel consumption mean?
1 Answers
Fuel consumption, commonly known as the amount of fuel consumed by a car after traveling 100 kilometers. The following is an introduction to fuel consumption: 1. Constant-speed fuel consumption: Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on a good road. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in the manuals of domestic cars is generally the constant-speed fuel consumption. 2. Road cycle fuel consumption: Road cycle fuel consumption is a fuel economy indicator measured when a car is driven in repeated cycles on the road according to specified speeds and time norms, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. In the speed and time norms, each cycle includes various driving conditions, and specifies the shifting time, braking and stopping time in each cycle, as well as the values of driving speed, acceleration, and braking deceleration. Therefore, the fuel economy measured by this method is closer to the actual driving conditions of the car.
