What does 'how much oil does a car burn' mean?
2 Answers
"How much oil does a car burn" refers to how many liters of fuel are consumed. The specific explanation is as follows: 1. The simplest identification method: For example, for a Passat 1.8T, you can divide 1.8 by 2, resulting in approximately 9 liters per 100 kilometers. 2. Ferrari 360: 360 means a 3.6-liter displacement, divided by 2, resulting in approximately 18 liters per 100 kilometers. 3. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain distance at a certain speed: it is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is measured by manufacturers under objective conditions using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converting the values into speed parameters, then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model at specified speeds. 4. Most vehicles approach their most economical speed at 90 km/h: therefore, the theoretical fuel consumption figures usually published are typically based on fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 km/h.
I'm Brother Wang, an ordinary car owner with over a decade of driving experience. When people ask 'how much fuel does the car burn,' they're essentially concerned about fuel consumption, meaning how many liters of gasoline are used per 100 kilometers. From my daily experience, fuel consumption is high in city traffic, easily burning over 10 liters; on the highway, driving steadily can reduce it to about 7 or 8 liters. Specific details like using air conditioning or carrying heavy loads affect the numbers—burning less fuel means saving money. I remember once when I forgot maintenance, fuel consumption spiked, but it improved a lot after an oil change. Regularly checking tire pressure, not over or under-inflating, can help the car burn less fuel. In short, managing fuel consumption well can save hundreds on gas money each month—it's not just a dream.
