Is an automatic transmission fuel consumption of 8 liters considered high?

[OElizabeth]

An automatic transmission fuel consumption of 8 liters is considered normal. For more information on fuel consumption, please refer to the following: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for cars: compact cars consume 6-10 liters; midsize cars consume 8-12 liters; and large cars consume 12-18 liters. How to save fuel: Maintain good driving habits: Different driving habits can affect fuel consumption. During driving, frequent sudden acceleration or deceleration can increase fuel consumption by 5%-10% compared to normal. Shift gears frequently: Switch to different gears according to different road conditions. For example, when going uphill, if you do not switch to L gear or low gear, the car's fuel consumption will increase. Maintain a steady speed: Most cars have optimal fuel efficiency at speeds between 60-80 km/h. If you can maintain a steady speed while driving, the car's fuel consumption will reach its best state.

I've been driving automatic transmission cars for many years and have tried many different brands. Whether 8 liters per 100 kilometers is considered high fuel consumption really depends on the specific situation. For my 1.6L compact sedan, driving in the city with air conditioning on usually consumes around 7.5 to 8 liters, which I think is quite normal. But a Corolla with the same displacement can achieve over 6 liters, so 8 liters would be considered high for that model. As for SUVs, my family's 2.0L SUV starts at 10 liters, making 8 liters absolutely fuel-efficient for an SUV. The key factors are engine displacement and vehicle type - exceeding 8 liters for a 1.5L small car might be concerning, while 8 liters is excellent for larger displacement vehicles. Road conditions also make a big difference - 10 liters is normal in city traffic jams, while highway driving can reduce it to 6 liters.

Having driven for over a decade, the most noticeable difference when switching from manual to automatic transmission is the slightly higher fuel consumption. Is 8 liters per 100km considered high for an automatic? It largely depends on your driving habits. I've achieved 5.8L/100km on highways, but during rush hour traffic in the city, it often exceeds 10L/100km. So if you primarily drive in urban areas, 8L is actually quite economical; whereas maintaining 8L on highways would be considered slightly high. Also, remember to check your tire pressure - last time mine was low, and fuel consumption jumped from 8L directly to 9L. Engine maintenance affects fuel efficiency too; changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers helps stabilize consumption. Driving habits matter most - when I was younger I favored sudden acceleration and braking, but now driving smoothly saves me about 1L/100km.

I'm quite conscious about fuel consumption and keep a record of every refill. An automatic transmission car consuming 8 liters per 100 kilometers is considered moderately high from an environmental perspective. Under the current China VI emission standards, many vehicles can achieve 6 liters, let alone electric vehicles. If you drive a high fuel consumption car for a long time, carbon buildup issues will be more severe. My colleague's plug-in hybrid only uses 4 liters, and pure electric vehicles equate to around 2 liters. In terms of usage costs, 8 liters of 92-octane gasoline costs over 60 cents per kilometer; reducing it to 6 liters saves 10 cents. It's advisable to drive in fuel-saving mode, maintain a safe distance to avoid frequent braking, and regularly clean the throttle body. Of course, 8 liters isn't outrageous these days, but improving driving habits could easily save 0.5 liters.
