Is an automatic transmission fuel consumption of 8 liters per 100 km considered high?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission fuel consumption of 8 liters per 100 km is considered normal. Here are some relevant explanations: 1. Driving habits: Car fuel consumption varies slightly depending on each individual's driving habits and skills. Smooth driving habits result in lower fuel consumption, while aggressive driving behaviors such as frequent overtaking and high RPM operations will appropriately increase fuel consumption. 2. Summer air conditioning system check: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance will require higher fan speeds and lower temperature settings to achieve a cooling effect. 3. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is the main reason for persistently high car fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 4. Small-displacement vehicles should not use air conditioning too aggressively: For vehicles exposed to direct sunlight, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after entering. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher setting without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside the vehicle. After the vehicle has cooled down moderately, then turn on the air conditioning.
