How much does the Focus cost per kilometer in fuel consumption?
2 Answers
The latest Focus model has a fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100 kilometers. Based on the current fuel price of 7.04/L, the fuel cost per kilometer is 0.4576 yuan. Here are the factors that influence fuel consumption: 1. Road conditions: Different road conditions result in varying engine power losses, leading to differences in fuel consumption. 2. Driving habits: Different driving habits of car owners can affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. 3. Tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure or switching to larger-sized tires can impact fuel consumption. When tires are underinflated, the contact area between the tires and the road increases, leading to greater driving resistance and higher fuel consumption.
My old Ford Focus 1.8L manual transmission costs about 6 cents per kilometer for daily commuting. It mainly depends on road conditions - in heavy city traffic, it can consume 9L or even 10L per 100km, which works out to over 7 cents per kilometer. On highways it's much more fuel efficient, only slightly over 5L per 100km, costing less than 4 cents per kilometer. The fluctuating price of 92-octane gasoline also affects costs. My habit of keeping records has been very helpful - I note down each refueling amount and mileage, then use software to calculate precisely. Maintaining good vehicle condition also helps with fuel efficiency - my friend's Focus that doesn't get regular maintenance consumes significantly more fuel than mine.
