First, you need to press the control stalk on the dashboard to switch between items. A short press switches to the next item. Switch to the fuel consumption option to view it. Resetting the TRIPA on the dashboard will display the fuel consumption readings for the first, second, and third times. You need to locate the button at the far right end of the right-hand control stalk. If the trip computer is not currently displaying fuel consumption, press the button until the fuel consumption appears on the trip computer.

I've been driving a Peugeot 301 for several years, and fuel consumption isn't something you can directly adjust numerically. It's optimized through your driving habits and maintenance. My most common method is avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, maintaining a speed between 60 to 80 km/h for the best fuel efficiency. Tire pressure must be checked regularly—I usually measure it once a month, keeping it around 2.5 bar. Too low pressure increases rolling resistance. In terms of maintenance, change the engine oil and filters on time, and using fully synthetic oil can improve engine efficiency. Vehicle weight is also important—don't pile up unnecessary items in the trunk to reduce the load. Use the air conditioning only when necessary; in summer, opening the window or leaving a small gap for ventilation is more energy-efficient. By doing this, my fuel consumption stays stable at around 6.5 liters, which is both safe and economical. A reminder: close windows during highway driving to reduce air resistance, and don't exceed 120 km/h. Regular maintenance not only saves fuel but also extends the vehicle's lifespan.

As a budget-conscious ordinary person, I believe the fuel consumption of the Peugeot 301 largely depends on driving habits. Avoid aggressive acceleration while driving, and anticipate traffic lights early to brake smoothly and coast. On highways, using cruise control to maintain a constant speed can reduce fuel consumption fluctuations. Maintenance is simple and straightforward: check tire pressure monthly, 2.4 bar is sufficient; replace the air filter when dirty to improve air intake efficiency. Avoid carrying unnecessary items in the car—less weight noticeably saves fuel. Use the air conditioning sparingly; in summer, opening windows for ventilation is often enough. Combine short trips to minimize cold starts, which consume more fuel. These small adjustments have cumulatively reduced my fuel consumption from 8 liters to 7 liters per 100 km, saving money while being practical, and my good safety record even earned me a discount from the insurance company.

I've studied the engine characteristics of the Peugeot 301, where fuel consumption optimization relies on meticulous adjustments. In terms of driving, maintain smooth acceleration and keep the RPM below 2,000 rpm; closing windows at high speeds effectively reduces wind resistance. Mechanical maintenance must be taken seriously: use 5W-30 engine oil and change it every 5,000 km; ensure proper wheel alignment for even tire wear; regularly clean spark plugs and fuel injectors to prevent carbon buildup. Reduce weight by emptying unnecessary items from the car, and switch to recirculation mode only when the A/C is off in urban areas. Avoid idling the engine for more than one minute when warming up—starting with less fuel saves more. Applying these techniques has reduced fuel consumption to the 6-7 L range, enhancing driving pleasure and vehicle longevity.

Driving a Peugeot 301 for daily commuting, fuel consumption management relies on habit cultivation. I make it a habit to warm up the engine for 30 seconds after a cold start in the morning, avoiding idling to save fuel. Planning the route in advance to avoid traffic jams and maintaining a steady speed of 60 km/h helps. Tire pressure is crucial during maintenance, checked every two weeks and kept at 2.4 bar. Using the air conditioning moderately and closing windows on highways in summer improves efficiency. Keeping the car free of unnecessary items reduces weight. I also use an app to record each refueling, promptly checking the filter or fuel line if any anomalies are detected. These small practices keep fuel consumption stable at around 7 liters, saving money and ensuring safety by preventing unexpected breakdowns on the road.
