Does a Car Consume Much Fuel at Idle?

[StCole]

Different engines have varying fuel consumption. For household cars, it's around 2 liters, but the exact amount depends on your car's displacement and idle speed. The larger the displacement, the higher the fuel consumption at idle. For a 1.6L displacement at around 800 RPM, it's approximately 0.8L per hour. Here is some information about car idling: 1. Car idling refers to an operating condition. When the engine runs without load, it's called idling, meaning the car is in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by changing the throttle opening size, etc. Idling means the engine is "working without output." 2. Normal idle: When the vehicle is parked and the engine is started, the minimum stable engine speed is called the parking idle. 3. Driving idle: When the car is in gear without pressing the accelerator pedal or when the accelerator pedal is released while driving, maintaining the minimum throttle opening, the engine speed matches the parking idle speed. This state is called driving idle.
