2 Answers
Ford Escort automatic transmission fuel consumption: urban fuel consumption is about 9.8L, suburban fuel consumption is about 5.3L, combined fuel consumption is 6.8L. The manual transmission model is relatively more fuel-efficient, with urban fuel consumption about 9.4L, suburban fuel consumption about 5L, combined fuel consumption 6.5L. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Power: The Ford Escort is equipped with an inline 3-cylinder gasoline CAF384Q26 naturally aspirated DOHC engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, maximum power speed (rpm) 6500, maximum torque (N·m) 152, maximum torque speed (rpm) 4500, maximum horsepower (Ps) 122. 2. Dimensions: The Ford Escort body dimensions are length*width*height (mm) 4587*1825*1490, front-wheel drive, disc brakes, wheelbase 2687mm.
I've been driving a Ford Escort for two years, and the urban commuting fuel consumption is honestly not low - it can spike to 9-10 liters during rush hour traffic. Recently did a specific test: highway cruising can drop to around 6.5 liters, but with AC on in the city, it generally stays at 8.5 liters. To be fair, Japanese cars with the same displacement typically average around 7 liters, this car does have a bit of a drinking problem. Remember after the first maintenance, fuel consumption dropped by 0.3 liters - the mechanic said carbon cleaning is crucial. Now I've developed habits like warming up the engine and easing off the gas before traffic lights, finally bringing consumption down to 7.8 liters. Even the constant mineral water box in the trunk got cleared out - every drop of fuel savings counts, right?
