Is the Fuel Consumption Displayed on the Car Accurate?
1 Answers
The fuel consumption displayed on the dashboard is for reference only. Additional information is as follows: 1. Fuel Consumption: Fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. 2. Tips for Saving Fuel: When starting the car, simply turn the key without pressing the accelerator or preheating. While driving, shift from 1st gear to 2nd gear as early as possible; the longer the driving route, the lower the fuel consumption. Throughout the driving process, avoid pressing the accelerator all the way down; instead, maintain it at 50% to 70%. When encountering a red light, shift to neutral, release the accelerator and clutch to achieve zero consumption. In this state, the car runs on inertia without consuming a drop of gasoline. Before reaching a turn, release the accelerator or apply the brake to reduce speed and maintain a steady pace. When going uphill, the driver should maintain as fast a speed as possible until more than half of the slope is climbed, and when going downhill, release the accelerator to let the car coast naturally. Driving with the windows open at a speed of 100 km/h increases fuel consumption by 5%. Incorrect tire pressure leads to unnecessary fuel consumption, and overloading or improper car modifications also result in higher fuel consumption.
