Is 10L/100km Fuel Consumption Normal for City Driving?
1 Answers
An urban fuel consumption of 10L/100km is normal. Fuel-saving methods: Insufficient tire pressure increases friction between tires and the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, regularly check tire pressure, as different vehicle models and tires have different pressure standards. If tires are severely worn, slipping may occur, increasing fuel consumption, so replace tires when necessary. Check the braking system: Some vehicles may experience slight brake drag, effectively increasing the vehicle's load during driving and raising fuel consumption, so regular checks are essential. Regular maintenance and part replacements—such as air filters, fuel filters, and oil filters—should be performed every 5,000 kilometers or more, as a clogged air filter reduces airflow, leading to incomplete fuel combustion and lower fuel efficiency. Worn clutch plates, clutch pressure plates, and spark plugs that have been used for too long can also increase fuel consumption, so they should be replaced periodically.
