- Engine efficiency: Newer trucks with more efficient engines will consume less fuel.
- Fuel tank capacity: Different trucks have different fuel tank capacities, which can range from 100 to 400 gallons (379 to 1,514 liters).
- Load weight: The heavier the load, the more fuel the truck will consume.
- Road conditions: Trucks use more fuel when driving on hilly or congested roads.
- Traffic conditions: Idling in traffic also consumes fuel.
Generally, a semi truck with a 300-gallon (1,136-liter) fuel tank can travel approximately 750 miles (1,207 kilometers) on a quarter tank of fuel, assuming an average fuel efficiency of 7 MPG (miles per gallon). However, this range can vary significantly depending on the factors mentioned above.
