What is the equivalent of 10 'you' in liters of fuel?

Ten 'you' refers to a fuel consumption of 10 liters per 100 kilometers driven by a car. Below is a detailed introduction to vehicle fuel consumption: Calculation formula: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = Volume of fuel (liters) ÷ Distance the car can travel with that fuel (kilometers) × 100. During daily driving, it's essential to monitor the remaining fuel in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it's advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel might exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by car manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to a safe level, with additional space from the safe level to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that fuel expansion due to temperature increases doesn't cause overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity. Additionally, the following factors can affect a car's fuel consumption: Vehicle weight: There is a direct correlation between vehicle weight and fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding decrease in fuel consumption by several percentage points. Car design: A lower aerodynamic drag coefficient results in significantly reduced fuel consumption. Conversely, a higher drag coefficient increases fuel consumption proportionally. Low tire pressure: This increases tire friction and adhesion, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Rapid acceleration and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption. Wind direction: Driving with a tailwind reduces fuel consumption, while driving against a headwind increases the engine's workload, thus raising fuel consumption. Road conditions: Fuel consumption is lower on flat roads and higher on uneven or steep roads. Use of additional electronic devices: Operating extra equipment like air conditioning while driving increases the rate of fuel consumption.
I see this question is quite common. When you ask what 10 'you' means in terms of liters of fuel, in the automotive world, '10 you' typically refers to a fuel consumption of 10 liters per 100 kilometers. This means your car consumes 10 liters of gasoline for every 100 kilometers driven. To convert this into actual usage, for example, if you're planning a short trip of 500 kilometers, you'd need to prepare 50 liters of fuel, which is roughly half a small gasoline can. I've encountered this issue myself while driving. Higher fuel consumption could indicate poor vehicle maintenance or aggressive driving habits. To save fuel, it's important to regularly check tire pressure and avoid hard acceleration. If the fuel price is 7 yuan per liter, driving 500 kilometers would cost you 350 yuan, which is not a small amount. So, remembering the 10-liter fuel consumption can help you estimate your budget.
