Fuel consumption calculation

Info

It is important to keep track of the fuel consumption calculation of our car, to observe the consumption and see if we need to adopt a series of measures for economic driving, which will undoubtedly bring us savings in consumption, especially in current times. in which the price of fuel is high. With new highs recently hitting and uncertainty about oil prices, perhaps it is time to think about savings measures as we drive through our day-to-day lives.

The formula to obtain the consumption of liters per 100 kilometers would be the following:

The number of liters is divided by the kilometers traveled and multiplied by 100.

An example would be:

-Consumption of liters: 20

-Kilometers traveled: 400

The operation would be: 20 / 400 x 100 = 5 liters per 100 kilometers

Some tips and recommendations to save on fuel

Car maintenance

Saving money not to repair the car is not a good idea. Maintaining the car regularly ensures that the engine runs efficiently:

• Check the oil label carefully to make sure we are using the correct engine oil recommended by the manufacturer.

• Check tire pressure on all long trips and at least once a month. If the tires do not have the recommended pressure, they can no longer cause an increase in consumption, but there is a risk of accident due to a blowout of the wheel.

Before starting the trip

• Plan trips in advance, especially on weekends and on vacation long weekends. Plan the route and observe the most convenient route. It may happen that the shortest route has fewer kilometers in its route, but we will have to go through congested cities with traffic lights. Taking the bypass of the highway that does not pass through the city, we will surely do more kilometers, but we will save not only in fuel but in time. Gone is the times when we had to carry a road map, at present applications such as Google Maps make life easier and are of great help to plan routes and choose the most convenient in real time.

• Avoid carrying any unnecessary weight in the car, such as boxes, bags, tools or certain objects that have a considerable weight.

During the journey

• Do not start the engine until you are ready to go. Drive and accelerate smoothly and maintain a constant speed until the cooling circuit reaches 90º.

• Be attentive to the road and anticipate what may happen to avoid sudden braking or acceleration. There may be unexpected situations such as road hold-ups and you have to be very attentive to these types of situations.

• When standing in heavy traffic or waiting for a vehicle to be removed from the road, turn off the engine.

• Keeping the engine below 2500 rpm for gasoline engines and 2000 rpm for diesel engines will help maximize fuel efficiency. Bringing the cruise control to a constant speed without pressing the accelerator, contributes to a more economical and more comfortable driving, but taking certain precautions.

• Keep the windows closed and if we have a roof as well. An open window increases fuel consumption by up to 5%.

• Avoid using air conditioning or air conditioning unless necessary. It can increase fuel consumption by up to 15%, especially in cities where the vehicle stops and starts continuously due to traffic lights, roundabouts or crosswalks for pedestrians.

Taking this series of measures and keeping track of the fuel consumption calculation, we will obtain significant savings for our vehicle, an aspect that must be taken into account.
