Are Jaguars Fuel-Consuming?
2 Answers
Jaguar cars are somewhat fuel-consuming, with relatively high fuel consumption. Reasons for high fuel consumption: The driver's skill level, improper gear shifting and excessive braking during driving, artificially increasing engine power loss. At the same time, excessive braking will increase the number of starts, because the fuel consumption rate is very high when starting. Driving at low temperatures, the car requires the engine to operate at normal temperatures. If the car is driven without preheating after starting, the engine will be in a low-temperature state, resulting in poor atomization of the mixture and incomplete combustion. Carburetor: The fuel level in the carburetor float chamber is too high; the air filter is too dirty, the carburetor air jet is too dirty; the fuel jet in the carburetor is enlarged by fuel over long-term use; the idle speed is adjusted too high; the balance hole in the float chamber is blocked, causing siphoning, etc.
I've driven a Jaguar F-PACE for several years and found its performance outstanding, with quick acceleration and stable cornering. However, the urban fuel consumption is indeed on the high side, averaging 11-13L/100km, and can exceed 15L in heavy traffic. Compared to my Honda Fit, it costs hundreds more in fuel each month. On long highway trips, it's better, dropping to around 9L. My personal advice: if you're an enthusiast who enjoys spirited driving and can accept higher fuel consumption for the sake of handling, go for it. But if you frequently drive in the city, plan your budget accordingly or consider a mild hybrid model. The Jaguar SUV is more practical, but higher fuel consumption is a minor drawback. Regular maintenance of the throttle and optimizing tire pressure are recommended.
