What is the approximate average fuel consumption?

The average fuel economy for new 2017 model year cars, light trucks and SUVs in the United States was 24.9 mpgUS (9.4 L/100 km).

What is a reasonable fuel consumption?

The generally accepted standard has risen from a consumption of around 8.1 to 7.1 litres per 100km (35-40mpg) in the past to more like 5.6 to 5.1 litres (50-55mpg). As a rule of thumb, vehicles listed at less than 6.0 litres/100km are considered to have ‘good’ MPG.

At what speed does a car consume less fuel?

The Energy Saving Trust says that the most efficient speed you can travel in a car in terms of achieving the best fuel economy is 55-65mph. Any faster, though, and the fuel efficiency decreases rapidly. For example, driving at 85mph uses 40% more fuel than at 70mph (oh, and it’s illegal too).

Is 11km per litre good?

Anything that is listed as less than 6-litres/100km or more than 16.5km/1-litre is considered to be pretty good. The first (and most common) reference is litres per 100km (litres/100km). In this instance, the higher the number of kilometres travelled the more fuel-efficient.

Is 21 mpg good gas mileage?

Don’t expect to attain higher than 20 mpg overall with a non-hybrid, and most offer less than 30 mpg on the highway. The best fuel-efficient non-electric vehicles get the following EPA-estimated combined numbers: Small SUV: Toyota RAV4 Hybrid AWD gets 40 mpg.

What is the consumption of gasoline in the US?

American drivers consume about nine million barrels of gasoline per day for personal transportation—378 million gallons every day—about 45 percent of total U.S. oil consumption. The United States consumes 20 million barrels of oil products every day.

How do you calculate fuel economy?

Fuel economy is calculated by the miles per gallon (mpg) or kilometers per liter (km/l) of fuel that a vehicle consumes.

What is the average MPG?

Between 10 and 25 mpg is typical. Keep in mind that some Class B motor homes get as little as six or seven mpg, and that 25 mpg is close to the top in fuel efficiency.

What is the percentage of fossil fuels?

As of 2017 the world’s primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy-consumption in the world.
