Is 9.5l/100km fuel consumption high?
2 Answers
If it is a 2.0-liter engine, this fuel consumption is at a normal level. If it is a 1.5-liter or 1.6-liter engine, then this fuel consumption is somewhat high. Here are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Road driving: If the car frequently drives in urban roads with severe traffic congestion, the fuel consumption of the car will definitely be very high. If it often drives on relatively smooth elevated roads or highways, the fuel consumption of the car will be very low. 2. Driving style: If the driver's driving style is relatively gentle, the fuel consumption of the car will also be very low. If the driver's driving style is more aggressive, the fuel consumption will definitely be very high. 3. Fuel saving: When driving, if you want to save fuel, you should avoid unnecessary overtaking and also press the accelerator lightly.
A fuel consumption of 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers may or may not be considered high, depending on the type of vehicle you drive and your daily driving conditions. Currently, I drive a midsize SUV, and this figure is quite normal in city traffic—frequent stops and starts during congestion can push fuel consumption above 10 liters, but on the highway, it drops to around 8 liters. If you often carry heavy loads or have children in the back seat, using air conditioning may slightly increase fuel consumption. Compared to compact sedans, which typically consume 7-8 liters, 9.5 liters is on the higher side. However, for someone like me who commutes 20 kilometers to work and drives about 1,000 kilometers a month, this translates to roughly 95 liters of fuel, costing around 700 yuan—which is manageable. The key is to develop good driving habits: avoid aggressive acceleration or sudden braking, and regularly check tire pressure and air filters to maintain stable fuel efficiency. Overall, it’s not excessively high, but if you drive a newer, fuel-efficient model, this figure might be worth optimizing.
