Is 10L/100km Fuel Consumption High?
1 Answers
This depends on the type of vehicle and the engine used. If it's a compact family car with a small-displacement naturally aspirated engine, this fuel consumption would be considered high. However, for a mid-to-large SUV equipped with a large-displacement naturally aspirated or turbocharged engine, this fuel consumption is not considered high. Specific details are as follows: 1. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Generally, the larger the displacement, the higher the fuel consumption. However, there is no direct conversion formula between the two, as many factors influence fuel consumption, not just the engine's powertrain but also the transmission, drag coefficient, vehicle weight, and tires. Additionally, driving habits, vehicle condition, and road conditions play significant roles. 2. Reducing vehicle weight: Vehicle weight is directly proportional to fuel consumption. It is said that a 10% reduction in vehicle weight can lead to a corresponding reduction in fuel consumption by several percentage points.
