At what speed is the Baojun 310 most fuel-efficient?
2 Answers
When the Baojun 310 maintains a speed between 60-80 KM/h in 5th gear, fuel consumption will significantly decrease. The exact most fuel-efficient speed still needs to be determined based on the driving conditions. Reduce the load in the car: Higher vehicle load will increase fuel consumption. Avoid keeping unnecessary items in the car as they not only take up space but also consume more fuel. Proper break-in period: The quality of the break-in period for a new car directly affects its future lifespan, fuel consumption, and overall condition. Proper warm-up: Idle warm-up time should not exceed one minute. The main warm-up process involves slow driving after starting the engine. Only when the engine coolant reaches normal temperature can you drive according to your usual driving habits.
To save fuel with the Baojun 310, I've figured out some tricks. For the 1.2L manual transmission, the sweet spot is between 60-75 km/h. Maintain steady throttle on flat roads with RPM just over 2000, and the trip computer shows instant fuel consumption can drop below 5L/100km. But beware - reduce speed when climbing hills to avoid high-gear lugging, which actually increases fuel consumption. With AC on or full load, the optimal speed drops to around 60 km/h. Experienced drivers know the lowest displayed fuel consumption doesn't always mean actual savings - you need to drive flexibly according to road conditions.
