By pressing the buttons on the dashboard or using the multifunction steering wheel, you can adjust the small screen on the dashboard to the fuel consumption page, where the displayed reading is the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The displayed fuel consumption per 100 kilometers on the dashboard is calculated based on a specific method. The onboard computer monitors the fuel injected by the engine's fuel injectors, recording the instantaneous fuel consumption at every moment, then calculates the total fuel consumption and driving distance. By dividing the total fuel consumption in liters by the distance in kilometers, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is obtained. If the engine operates at high RPM for a prolonged period or accelerates frequently at low RPM, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will increase. Generally, during racing or aggressive driving, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will rise. Conversely, when the car maintains a steady speed with relatively low engine RPM, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will decrease. Therefore, if owners want their cars to be more fuel-efficient, they should learn to change their driving habits by accelerating gently and braking smoothly.

As a car enthusiast, I often pay attention to fuel consumption information while driving, which is usually displayed on the digital screen in the middle of the dashboard. By pressing the control buttons on the left or right side of the steering wheel, you can easily switch to the fuel consumption data, such as in Volkswagen or Toyota vehicles. If your car has a digital instrument cluster, there might be direct icon prompts on it. Average fuel consumption helps you understand your car's fuel usage in real-time, and adjusting your driving habits can save you some money. Remember to check regularly, as some older models require manual activation of the relevant mode. Overall, don't worry, it's simple to find, and you'll get the hang of it after a few tries.

I'm an ordinary office worker with a two-hour daily commute by car, and the average fuel consumption always appears on that small screen area of the instrument panel. The exact location varies by car model, but most brands, like SAIC-GM or Japanese manufacturers, allow you to toggle it via the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel. After starting the car, just try scrolling through the buttons to find the fuel consumption option. The fuel consumption display is quite practical—it reminds me to drive more economically, especially making it easy to monitor on highways. When I drove a Ford, I liked checking it frequently to judge whether maintenance was needed.

Having driven for thirty years, the average fuel consumption is usually displayed on the dashboard's information screen, and you can access it by pressing a few buttons. In Chevrolets or domestic cars, it's generally located in the center, with a convenient selector button on the right side of the steering wheel. Fuel consumption data is important because it reflects the car's condition—if it's too high, you should check for issues like tire pressure. Remember to take your time and don't rush; new drivers will naturally get the hang of it after a few tries.
