consumption of gasoline - is the amount of fuel consumed by car.This characteristic of the motor car is now one of the most important.And now, for decades the world's leading engineers solved the problem of reducing the consumption of gasoline.
gasoline consumption can be measured by calculating the amount of fuel that the car spends in passing a certain distance.Now in countries using the metric system of measures, the consumption is measured in liters per hundred kilometers.The smaller the value, the more economical car.
gasoline consumption can be counted in other ways - measured distance, the passage of which the vehicle is completely used up a certain amount of fuel.This method is usually used in countries where English is used measuring system.
South Korea, Japan, and India's economy are measured in kilometer per liter.In this case, the value is greater, the vehicle more economically.
For more accurate calculations of the engineers identified several special cycles:
1. Urban cycle, characterized by high intensity of movement, the need to overheating of the motor during a stop in traffic jams and at traffic lights, as well as a sharp reset and set speed.As a result of this work there is great gas mileage.
2. Country-cycle, characterized by a smooth-running and more stable speed.At the same time a decrease in gasoline consumption.
3. Mixed cycle - something.
on consumption of gasoline affects a large number of factors.The main causes of increasing consumption: motor failure or systems, the car's acceleration, incomplete combustion of gasoline, "aggressive" driving style, increase the resistance movement (load machines, open windows, jammed brakes, transmission fault).
Normal condition of the machine, choose the most optimum mode of driving experience of the driver - is the key to the optimal use of the fuel.
fuel consumption is also influenced by other equally important factors: aerodynamics, curb weight, the gear ratios.
application rates
All transport companies establish their maximum permitted levels of fuel consumption when using the vehicle.There are basic and standard calculated levels of consumption.The base is determined by the standard procedure and sets the standard fuel consumption under normal conditions.Cash-standard establishes certain operating conditions, as well as some other factors.
application rates of gasoline can rise when:
- work in the cold season in the northern and southern regions of the Russian Federation, as well as on the territory of the Far North;
- at work on the roads with a complex plan;
- when driving in mountainous terrain;
- the transport of dangerous or bulky cargo;
- when learning to ride;
- when running the air conditioner;
- when driving in town (depending on how dense flow);
- when working in difficult conditions (floods, snow, ice);
- when driving on a new car or a car after an overhaul.
consumption of gasoline - is one of the most important characteristics of each motor vehicle.That's an improvement over its work is underway in many countries.
