Is 7L/100km Fuel Consumption Considered High?
1 Answers
7L/100km fuel consumption falls within the normal range. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Proper use of D gear: Do not keep driving solely in D gear (drive gear) throughout the journey. The D gear is for forward motion, and gear positions should be adjusted according to different driving conditions. 2. Tire selection: Ensure correct tire pressure. Pressure should neither be too high nor too low, as both extremes can increase fuel consumption. Regularly check tire pressure to avoid affecting driving fuel efficiency. Consider switching to fuel-efficient tires, as certain tires can reduce rolling resistance, thereby helping save some gasoline. 3. Avoid using incorrect engine oil: Refer to the manufacturer's recommended oil grade and select the optimal viscosity. Using wrong oil not only fails to properly protect the engine but may also increase fuel consumption.
