The fuel consumption on the dashboard is calculated by calculating the ratio of the amount of fuel consumed during the vehicle's driving to the distance traveled. The specific calculation method is as follows:
Required data
Amount of fuel consumed: The difference in the amount of fuel in the tank before and after driving.
Distance traveled: Obtained through the odometer or navigation system.
Calculation formula
Fuel consumption = (amount of fuel consumed / distance traveled) × 100.
For example, if the fuel tank is reduced from 50 liters to 30 liters after driving 500 kilometers, the fuel consumption is 0.8 L/100km.
