Is the fuel consumption of jl478qep high?
2 Answers
It cannot be determined whether the fuel consumption of jl478qep is high or not, because jl478qep is the engine used by Changan Eado, but the fuel consumption of Eado is a bit high. Other factors affecting high fuel consumption: There are many factors that affect the fuel consumption of a car, such as driving habits, road conditions, vehicle load, tire pressure, etc. In addition, the exterior design of the car will also affect its fuel consumption. The smaller the drag coefficient of the car, the lower its fuel consumption. Extended content on fuel consumption: What truly affects a vehicle's fuel consumption is how many strokes the car's engine makes within a specified time and distance. Strokes refer to the engine's RPM. Therefore, only when both displacement and RPM are low will the car's fuel consumption be lower, because these factors are interrelated.
I've been using the JL478QEP engine in this car for quite some time, and I feel the fuel consumption isn't exactly low. In city driving, it often exceeds 10 liters per 100 kilometers, especially during traffic jams when it can go above 12 liters. The reason? This older engine design prioritizes power output, and coupled with the slightly heavier body, it naturally consumes more fuel. Compared to newer models in the same class that I've driven, its fuel consumption is about a liter higher. I recommend checking the engine oil and air filter more frequently—dirty ones affect efficiency, and proper maintenance can bring it down a bit. Also, try to avoid sudden braking and rapid acceleration; stepping on the gas more gently can save you hundreds of dollars in fuel costs over a year. Overall, it's not the most fuel-efficient, but with proper maintenance, it's still acceptable.
