Is 11 liters per 100 kilometers considered high fuel consumption?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the fuel consumption for compact cars is between 6-10 liters per 100 kilometers, while mid-size cars consume 8-12 liters per 100 kilometers, and large cars consume 12-18 liters per 100 kilometers. Therefore, if it's an SUV or a high-displacement model, this falls within the normal range. However, if it's a compact family car or a small-displacement model, this would be considered abnormally high fuel consumption. Reasons for high fuel consumption: 1. The car is still in the break-in period: During the break-in process, friction between parts is greater, requiring more energy and thus consuming more fuel; 2. Insufficient tire pressure: This increases fuel consumption, and if the tires are severely worn, frequent slipping can occur, which also increases fuel consumption; 3. When there is significant engine carbon buildup in a short period, it can also lead to higher vehicle fuel consumption.
