Is 12L/100km Urban Fuel Consumption Considered High?
1 Answers
Not particularly high. Here are the details: 1. Reasons: For normal driving habits, 12L/100km fuel consumption for a 1.6L engine in congested urban areas is not considered high. However, if this consumption occurs in mixed urban-highway driving or in urban areas with relatively smooth traffic conditions, it might be slightly on the higher side. 2. Constant-Speed Fuel Consumption: Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to a vehicle's fuel economy indicator when driving at a constant speed on good road surfaces. Since constant-speed driving represents a fundamental operating condition for vehicles on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it has been widely adopted. For instance, France and Germany use 90Km/h and 120Km/h constant-speed fuel consumption as primary evaluation metrics for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator.
