fuel consumption
Engine's energy appetite
Fuel consumption is the amount of fuel used over a given distance or time period, typically measured in miles per gallon or liters per hundred kilometers.
It serves as a standard metric for comparing vehicle efficiency: The hybrid gets better fuel consumption than the SUV.
Lower consumption means greater efficiency and reduced operating costs.
