What does 'how much oil' mean?
2 Answers
Burning 'how much oil' refers to how many liters of fuel a car consumes after driving 100km, where 'one oil' means one liter of fuel. Another way to say it is to divide the cost of fuel for 100km by 100km, which gives the cost per kilometer. Below is more related information: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain speed on the road for 100 kilometers. It is a theoretical indicator for the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is measured by manufacturers in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converting the measured values into speed parameters, and then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the model at specified speeds. 2. Since most vehicles approach their most economical speed at 90 km/h, the theoretical fuel consumption publicly announced by most manufacturers is usually the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 km/h. (Displacement is determined by analyzing the carbon content in the exhaust gas using an exhaust analyzer and the carbon balance method).
I've been driving for about seven or eight years, and I often hear friends chatting about 'a few liters of oil,' which means fuel consumption. Simply put, it's how many liters of fuel your car uses per 100 kilometers. For example, if I say my car uses '9 liters of oil,' it means it consumes 9 liters per 100 kilometers. This is quite important—everyone asks about it when buying a car. High or low fuel consumption affects fuel expenses; if your car is fuel-hungry, your wallet empties faster. When I was younger, I didn’t understand this and bought a car that was advertised as fuel-efficient but actually consumed a lot. Later, I learned to ask experienced drivers, check manufacturer data, or even calculate it myself by tracking mileage and fuel refills over time. In short, 'a few liters of oil' isn’t some profound concept—it’s just a practical everyday tip. Understanding it helps save money on daily driving, especially if you take long trips often.
