Is 8 L/100km Fuel Consumption Considered High?

[DanielRose]

For a 2.0L displacement engine, 8L/100km fuel consumption is considered low; but for a 1.5L or 1.6L displacement engine, it can only be said to be normal, not particularly fuel-efficient. Here is extended information: 1. Fuel consumption: Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in constant-speed driving fuel consumption tests specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. 2. Vehicles subject to constant-speed fuel consumption tests include: (1) M1 category, M2 category with maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons, and N1 category compressed natural gas vehicles; M1 category and N1 category vehicles with maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons, tested according to the method specified in GB/T12545.1-2008 "Test methods for fuel consumption of passenger cars". (2) M2 category, M3 category, N2 category, and N3 category compressed natural gas vehicles with maximum design total mass exceeding 3.5 tons; M2 category, M3 category, and N category vehicles with maximum total mass greater than or equal to 2 tons, tested according to the method specified in GB/T12545.2-2001 "Test methods for fuel consumption of commercial vehicles".
