Is it normal for a new car to consume 20L per 100 kilometers?
1 Answers
Whether a fuel consumption of 20L is normal for a new car depends on the model. For some high-displacement models, a consumption of 20L can be considered normal. However, if ordinary family cars show such fuel consumption, it is not quite normal. Actual fuel consumption is related to many factors, such as season, temperature, road conditions, driving habits, and vehicle load. The following are related introductions to car fuel consumption: Constant-speed fuel consumption: refers to the fuel economy indicator when the car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. Road cycle fuel consumption: the fuel economy indicator measured when the car drives in repeated cycles according to specified speed and time regulations on the road, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The speed and time regulations specify each cycle to include various driving conditions, and also specify the shifting time, braking and stopping time, as well as the values of driving speed, acceleration, and braking deceleration for each cycle. Therefore, the fuel economy measured by this method is closer to the actual driving conditions of the car.
