Is 0.4 RMB per kilometer considered high fuel consumption?
2 Answers
0.4 RMB per kilometer is not considered high fuel consumption. Lightly press the accelerator: When starting at low speeds, the car is in the peak fuel consumption zone. Therefore, gently pressing the accelerator during startup can prevent excessively high RPM and effectively reduce fuel consumption. Avoid high RPM: Avoid unnecessary high RPM, as fluctuating engine speeds can significantly increase fuel consumption. Regular maintenance: Regular vehicle maintenance is essential, including periodic oil changes and carbon deposit removal. Avoid sudden braking: Anticipating road conditions in advance not only enhances driving safety but also saves fuel. For example, gradually slowing down before traffic lights and utilizing inertia for coasting.
I just finished calculating the half-year field service mileage reimbursement, which works out to 0.45 yuan per kilometer. I drive a 1.8L old Corolla with a daily 40km commute through urban roads and elevated highways. Compared to my colleague's newly purchased Sylphy at 0.37 yuan per km, my car is indeed quite thirsty for fuel. Last winter when using the heater, it peaked at 0.52 yuan per km, only dropping slightly after replacing the air filter. If frequently stuck at downtown intersections, this figure would climb even higher.
