Consumption Formula:
From: | To: |
Fuel consumption per kilometer measures how much fuel a vehicle uses to travel one kilometer. It's a key metric for evaluating vehicle efficiency and calculating fuel costs for trips.
The calculator uses the consumption formula:
Where:
Explanation: This simple division gives you the fuel consumption rate in liters per kilometer, which helps in understanding your vehicle's efficiency.
Details: Calculating fuel consumption helps in budgeting for trips, comparing vehicle efficiency, monitoring vehicle health, and reducing environmental impact through better fuel management.
Tips: Enter the total fuel used in liters and the distance traveled in kilometers. Both values must be positive numbers for accurate calculation.
Q1: How can I improve my fuel consumption?
A: Maintain proper tire pressure, avoid aggressive driving, reduce vehicle weight, and keep up with regular maintenance to improve fuel efficiency.
Q2: What is considered good fuel consumption?
A: This varies by vehicle type, but generally, lower L/km values indicate better efficiency. Modern cars typically range from 0.06-0.12 L/km.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but accuracy depends on the precision of your fuel and distance measurements.
Q4: Can I use this for electric vehicles?
A: This calculator is designed for fuel-based vehicles. For electric vehicles, you would calculate energy consumption in kWh/km instead.
Q5: How often should I calculate my fuel consumption?
A: Regular calculations (e.g., with each refueling) help track changes in efficiency that might indicate maintenance needs.
