Tips

usage
In Chinese car-talk, fuel consumption is typically stated as L/100km and phrased as 'X ' — e.g. = 8 L/100km. This differs from US mpg and even from how some official specs are written.
culture
As EVs took over the Chinese market post-2022, 油耗 vs (kWh per 100km) comparisons became standard in car reviews on Dongchedi () and Bilibili.
