Is a Fuel Consumption of 9-10L Normal for the Mistra?
1 Answers
A fuel consumption of 9-10L for the Mistra is considered normal. In actual driving conditions, factors such as inadequate driving skills, poor engine condition, and lack of maintenance can lead to increased fuel consumption. The combined fuel consumption of the Mistra is 5.3L/100km. There are currently 5 models of the Mistra available for sale: the DCT-LUX Premium Edition, DCT-TOP Flagship Edition, CVT-GLS Leading Edition, CVT-GLX Elite Edition, and CVT-LUX Premium Edition, all with a combined fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which measures the fuel consumption data under the NEDC test cycle. The actual fuel consumption is higher, ranging from 6.0-11.0L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine are a significant cause, often due to using unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not noticeable, it indicates a high level of carbon deposits in the engine. In such cases, the car should be taken to a 4S shop for professional cleaning of the engine carbon deposits by technicians. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor monitors the air-fuel ratio in the engine. If it is damaged, it can cause an imbalance in the air-fuel ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe emits darker-colored exhaust gases during driving, and the sensor should be replaced immediately. Regularly replace the three filters: During vehicle use, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If not replaced for a long time, they can become dirty and send incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit: Although the engine's electronic control unit is highly reliable, in older vehicles, various faults may occur.
