How many kilometers can an Accord Hybrid run on a full tank of gas?
2 Answers
An Accord Hybrid can typically run about 800 kilometers on a full tank of gas under normal conditions. If driving entirely on city roads, the fuel consumption is approximately 6.3L per 100 kilometers, while on highways, it can drop to around 3L. Here are factors that affect a car's fuel consumption: Keeping the windows open while driving can increase wind resistance, which affects fuel consumption. Factors such as the car's displacement, fuel technology, body weight, road conditions, and driving habits. Frequent acceleration and deceleration in stop-and-go traffic can slightly increase fuel consumption. Prolonged idling can lead to carbon buildup, which significantly impacts the car's performance. Using low-quality engine oil may also affect fuel consumption and damage the car's engine.
I've been driving the Accord Hybrid for over a year now. A full tank usually gets me between 850 to 950 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity is 43 liters, and the official combined fuel consumption is 4.3 liters per 100 kilometers, which theoretically means a range of over 1,000 kilometers. However, in reality, I can reach about 900 kilometers on highways with less air conditioning use, while in city traffic jams, it might drop below 800 kilometers. Driving habits have a significant impact; for example, sudden acceleration and hard braking can cause fuel consumption to spike. I recommend starting gently, checking tire pressure regularly, as low pressure increases resistance and wastes fuel. A well-maintained hybrid system operates efficiently, so even with air conditioning in summer, the range doesn’t drop too much. Overall, hybrid cars offer long ranges, saving you from frequent refueling and making journeys more convenient. For long trips, a full tank is more than enough for a whole day, providing a great experience.
