What Does 'One Unit of Oil' Mean?
2 Answers
One unit of oil represents one liter of oil. Generally, when people say 'a few units of oil,' they are referring to the number of liters consumed per 100 kilometers driven by the car. If there are no poor driving habits during operation, consuming around 7 liters per 100 kilometers is considered relatively fuel-efficient. For SUV models, consuming approximately 10-11 liters per 100 kilometers is also regarded as fuel-efficient. Regularly Check Tire Pressure: Regularly check tire pressure to ensure it is at the correct level. Both underinflation and overinflation can increase fuel consumption, so it's essential to monitor tire pressure periodically. Pay Attention to Transmission Maintenance: Always use transmission fluid that matches your vehicle's specifications. Transmission fluid not only lubricates but also plays a role in torque transmission, so it should be replaced regularly.
Having worked in this industry for over a decade, I've noticed many people ask 'how much is one unit of oil'—it actually refers to the price per unit of gasoline, like the cost per liter. Currently, the standard 92-octane gasoline is priced around 8 to 9 yuan per liter in most places, possibly higher in big cities depending on gas station promotions. In terms of fuel consumption, my old car uses about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, which means filling up a 50-liter tank costs around 400 yuan. That's a significant expense, especially when fuel prices rise, adding several hundred yuan more to my monthly fuel bill. To cut costs, I maintain steady driving speeds and regularly service my tires to improve fuel efficiency, which has shown noticeable results. I recommend friends use real-time fuel price apps to find cheaper gas during off-peak hours, saving both money and time by avoiding long queues.
