Fuel Consumption
Convert fuel consumption units.
Explanation
Monitoring your fuel consumption is the first step towards economical driving (eco-driving). This calculator helps you determine your actual consumption (MPG or L/100km). ### Formula (L/100km) **Consumption = (Liters used / Kilometers driven) × 100**. - Example: You added 45 Liters and drove 800 km. - (45 / 800) × 100 = 5.62 L/100km. ### How to measure precisely? 1. Fill the tank completely and reset the trip odometer to 0. 2. Drive until you need to refuel. 3. Fill the tank completely again. Note the number of liters/gallons added and the mileage shown. 4. Use this calculator. ### Factors increasing consumption - **Speed**: Driving fast significantly increases drag and consumption. - **Under-inflated tires**: Increases rolling resistance. - **Air Conditioning**: Can add significant load to the engine. - **Aggressive driving**: Frequent acceleration and braking.
Examples
- 50 Liters for 900 km = 5.55 L/100km.
- 40 Liters for 500 km = 8.00 L/100km (City or sporty driving).
FAQ
Is the dashboard computer reliable?
It is often optimistic (shows lower consumption than reality). Manual calculation at the pump is the most accurate.
How to reduce consumption?
Anticipate braking, shift gears early, and check tire pressure monthly.
