What does 'several oil' mean when referring to cars?
2 Answers
When people say 'several oil' in relation to cars, it refers to the amount of gasoline consumed per kilometer driven by the vehicle. Below are some relevant explanations: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This is an indicator for vehicles. Standardized fuel consumption is a statistical norm. The slower a vehicle drives within its economical speed range, the higher the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will be, and the opposite is true when exceeding the economical speed. Since most vehicles approach their economical speed at around 90 km/h, the fuel consumption is usually measured as the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 km/h. 2. Calculating by hourly fuel consumption: Regardless of the speed at which the vehicle is traveling, the hourly fuel consumption remains the same. When calculating fuel consumption for highways and engineering transportation, the first two norms are not suitable; using hourly fuel consumption is more accurate. The formula for hourly fuel consumption is: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers / 100 * limit speed * 0.8 (the limit speed is the highest safe speed).
When people say 'a few liters of oil' about a car, they are referring to the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. In simpler terms, it means how many liters of gasoline the car consumes to travel 100 kilometers. For example, if a friend says their car uses '6 liters of oil,' it means the car consumes 6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. This is extremely common in daily life, especially when commuting to work by car, as people often discuss how fuel-efficient their vehicles are. The lower the fuel consumption, like five or six liters, the more economical and money-saving the car is. On the other hand, higher fuel consumption, like over ten liters, indicates a gas-guzzling, high-displacement vehicle. Checking your car's fuel consumption is quite simple—many cars display real-time data on the central control screen, or you can calculate it by noting the mileage after filling up the tank and driving a certain distance. Driving habits, such as avoiding sudden acceleration and choosing highways with less traffic, can also help save fuel. Mechanics at repair shops often measure this accurately, and I frequently hear them discussing it. My car averages about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and over time, I've learned how to adjust my driving to save money and hassle.
