What is the average fuel consumption per kilometer for a car?

[StCamille]

Car consumes 5-8 liters of fuel per kilometer. The following is an introduction about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling a certain speed on the road for 100 kilometers. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated by driving at specified speeds to obtain the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model. 2. Road condition fuel consumption: Road condition fuel consumption is a fuel indicator calculated by repeatedly testing the values measured when a vehicle travels on specified roads at specified speeds and times, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. In the specification, it is stipulated that each cycle includes various driving conditions, and records driving conditions according to various indicators such as specified shift times, parking times, driving speeds, acceleration, braking, and deceleration in each cycle. The measured values obtained by this method are closer to the actual values.

I drive an ordinary family car, mainly for commuting in the city, with fuel consumption generally around 0.09 to 0.12 liters per kilometer. It depends on road conditions—if traffic is heavy and idling time increases, consumption can rise to 0.15 liters per kilometer, while on highways, it drops to about 0.07 liters per kilometer. The age of the car also affects it; mine is over 5 years old, and if maintenance is delayed, fuel consumption can increase by around 10%. I recommend regularly replacing the air filter and keeping tire pressure within the normal range to save on fuel costs. Different car types vary significantly—small cars generally have lower fuel consumption, like my friend's compact car at 0.08 liters per kilometer, while SUVs or high-displacement vehicles can reach 0.15 liters per kilometer. Checking the official fuel economy label before buying can provide a good reference. Overall, avoid overloading the car and maintain a steady speed—this not only saves money but also ensures safety.

As a car enthusiast, I frequently test the fuel consumption of different models, averaging between 0.06 to 0.15 liters per kilometer, depending on driving habits and vehicle condition. For example, cars with smaller engine displacement, lighter weight, and lower aerodynamic drag tend to be more fuel-efficient. The compact car I test-drove, which consumed 0.07 liters per kilometer, was quite ideal. Fuel consumption is lower during highway cruising but increases significantly with city stop-and-go traffic. I recommend developing smooth acceleration habits and avoiding sudden throttle inputs to reduce extra fuel consumption. Seasonal effects should also be noted—cold starts in winter can increase fuel consumption by up to 20%, so it's more economical to wait until the engine warms up. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes and spark plug replacements, is crucial to maintaining optimal performance. At car enthusiast gatherings, most discussions about fuel consumption revolve around the 0.08 to 0.12 liters per kilometer range. Don’t overlook these small details—they save money and benefit the environment.

I was completely clueless about fuel consumption when I first bought my new car. Later, I learned that most cars consume around 0.08 to 0.12 liters per kilometer. Compact cars like my economy model typically use about 0.07 liters, while larger vehicles or SUVs might reach 0.15 liters, depending on road conditions and load. Remember, driving techniques matter – sudden braking or rapid acceleration can increase fuel consumption by 10%, while maintaining a steady speed saves fuel. I recommend beginners use an app to track fuel refills and kilometers driven to calculate the average – it's simple and practical, don't overcomplicate it.
