Fuel Consumption of the Second-generation Eado?
3 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the second-generation Eado is 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are specific methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Lightly Press the Accelerator: When starting at low speeds, the car enters a high fuel consumption zone. Therefore, gently pressing the accelerator during startup prevents excessively high RPM, effectively reducing fuel consumption. 2. Avoid High RPM: Try to avoid unnecessary high RPM, as fluctuating engine speeds can significantly increase fuel consumption. 3. Regular Maintenance: Regularly change the engine oil and remove carbon deposits. 4. Avoid Emergency Braking: Anticipate road conditions in advance to avoid emergency braking, which not only enhances driving safety but also saves fuel. For example, gradually decelerate before traffic lights and utilize inertia to coast.
I've been driving a Changan Eado II manual transmission for three years, with the dashboard showing a stable combined fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km. During rush hours in the city, it can spike to around 9L, while on highways, the lowest I've achieved is 6.2L. Last week's more accurate test: after filling up the tank and driving 500km on mixed urban-rural roads, it took 37 liters to refill, calculating to 7.4L. I found that maintaining tire pressure at 2.5bar saves 0.3L compared to 2.2bar, and setting the AC at 26℃ saves 0.8L over the lowest temperature. This car hates traffic jams - during a heavy rainstorm last time, being stuck for two hours pushed consumption up to 11L. Now I've learned to switch to eco mode whenever the navigation shows red traffic sections.
Just tested my cousin's 2018 automatic Changan Eado, the 1.6L model recorded 8.3L/100km in urban commuting. Paid special attention to rush hours: 7am with AC at 25°C, 9km in 40 minutes consumed 1.2L; evening commute avoiding traffic via ring road used only 0.9L for same distance. Long-term driving tip: clean carbon deposits monthly, fuel additive reduced display reading by 0.4L. Weekend mountain drive with four passengers - scary 14L instantaneous fuel consumption uphill using S mode, compensated by coasting in neutral downhill. Keeping trunk clutter-free matters - removing spare tire surprisingly saved 0.5L fuel.
