What does 'how many oils' mean for a car?

The term 'how many oils' for a car refers to the fuel consumption in liters per 100 kilometers. For example, if a car is said to consume '7 oils,' it means the car uses 7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. This can be simply calculated by the amount of fuel added and the odometer reading, or directly displayed by the car's onboard computer. Below is an introduction related to fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is an indicator for vehicles. Standardized fuel consumption statistics are a formatted specification. The slower the vehicle travels within the economical speed range, the higher the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Conversely, exceeding the economical speed has the opposite effect. Since most vehicles approach their economical speed at around 90 km/h, the theoretical fuel consumption figures published are usually based on 90 km/h. 2. If the engine speed is maintained within the same safe range, regardless of the vehicle's speed, the hourly fuel consumption remains the same. For calculating fuel consumption on highways or in engineering transport, the first two specifications are not suitable, and hourly fuel consumption is more accurate.

From my years of driving experience, when we say a car uses 'a few oils,' it refers to the fuel consumption in liters per 100 kilometers. For example, my 1.6L manual transmission car consumes a little over 7 oils in the city, meaning it burns more than 7 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. This number is particularly practical—it instantly tells you how far you can go on a full tank. Back in the day, we had to calculate fuel consumption with a notebook, but now the car's dashboard directly displays real-time fuel consumption. As for fuel-saving tips, sudden acceleration is the most wasteful. Maintaining a steady speed in the city and avoiding speeding on the highway are the most cost-effective. Also, don’t underestimate tire pressure—every 0.5 bar drop increases fuel consumption by about 3%.

Over the years of taking kids to school, fuel consumption has been our top concern. When we say 'how many liters' at home, we mean how many liters of gasoline are burned per 100 kilometers. Our family SUV consumes about 11 liters in the city, but can drop to 8 liters on highways. Every time gas prices rise, this number becomes particularly noticeable as it directly affects household expenses. To save fuel, you really need to pay attention to methods: keeping the trunk clear of unnecessary items reduces weight, opening windows in summer is more fuel-efficient than using AC, and planning routes to avoid traffic helps. Recently, I've learned to use apps to track fuel consumption - whether a full tank lasts 500 or 600 kilometers, now I know exactly.

Many novice drivers don't understand what 'several liters of oil' means. It actually refers to the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, measured in liters. My modified car now consumes 12 liters per 100 km, which is 3 liters higher than the factory setting. To accurately measure fuel consumption, follow these simple steps: fill up the tank → reset the trip meter → drive until half tank → refill to full. Then calculate by dividing the fuel added by the kilometers driven and multiplying by 100. Recently, I've noticed a pattern: winter consumption is about 10% higher than summer, and there's little difference between 92 and 95 octane gasoline in terms of fuel efficiency. By the way, cars with the same displacement can differ by more than 2 liters in fuel consumption, so pay close attention to the specifications when choosing a car.

Having repaired cars for twenty years, I hear customers asking about fuel consumption every day. Simply put, it's the number of liters of fuel a vehicle consumes per 100 kilometers. The most accurate way to measure fuel consumption is with a professional diagnostic tool, but a makeshift method works too: fill the tank until the pump clicks off, drive 200 kilometers, then fill it again until the pump clicks off. The amount of fuel added the second time divided by 2 gives the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Don’t trust the overly optimistic dashboard display—actual fuel consumption is often 0.5 liters higher. Using high-viscosity engine oil can increase fuel consumption by 3%, failing to replace spark plugs can add 5%, and a car with severe carbon buildup can burn 2 liters more. Remember, misaligned front wheels are particularly fuel-guzzling!
