How much fuel does a sedan consume in one hour?
2 Answers
A 1.5L manual transmission sedan consumes approximately 4 liters of fuel per hour. Driving habits: Incorrect driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most common issues. It has been observed that fuel consumption can increase by 2 to 3 times when driving at inconsistent speeds compared to maintaining a steady speed. Tire pressure: When tire pressure is either too high or too low, the vehicle's fuel consumption will increase. Road conditions: Congested roads or uneven surfaces that require prolonged driving in lower gears will also lead to higher fuel consumption.
I've been commuting by sedan for several years, so the topic of fuel consumption is quite familiar to me. Generally speaking, how much fuel a sedan consumes per hour depends on your speed and road conditions. In city traffic with congestion, the engine idles more and can burn 5 to 6 liters of fuel per hour; on the highway at a steady speed of 80 km/h, fuel consumption drops to about 4 liters. My compact car has a 45-liter fuel tank, so an hour's consumption is roughly 10% of that. Many factors influence this, such as using air conditioning in summer adding about 1 liter, or low tire pressure in winter increasing fuel consumption. I often check the dashboard display—on average, an hour in city traffic costs me over ten yuan in fuel. I recommend developing habits like gentle acceleration and braking to save some money.
