What does 9.8l/100km fuel consumption mean
2 Answers
It consumes 9.8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. There are three methods to reduce vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Minimize vehicle weight: Keep the interior simple and avoid carrying unnecessary items. Each additional kilogram of load increases fuel consumption by 1%; 2. Avoid excessive vehicle modifications: Adding spoilers, protective covers, or wings can disrupt the original aerodynamic design, increasing wind resistance and consuming extra fuel. Modifying lighting systems increases electrical load, leading to unnecessary fuel consumption; 3. Develop good driving habits: Avoid sudden acceleration, high-speed driving in low gears, prolonged idling, frequent lane changes or braking. Aim for smooth starts, steady-speed driving, and reduced braking.
A fuel consumption of 9.8 liters per 100 kilometers means the car consumes 9.8 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers driven. This figure is considered above average for a typical family car. For example, if the fuel price is 8 yuan per liter, driving one kilometer costs about 0.8 yuan. If your daily commute is 50 kilometers, the weekly fuel cost would be around 160 yuan, and over 600 yuan per month. I've driven a car with similar fuel consumption, and in city traffic, it can easily exceed 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways, it drops to around 8 liters. Key factors include aggressive acceleration and underinflated tires. To save fuel, avoid sudden acceleration and maintain a steady cruising speed.
