What is Considered a Normal Average Fuel Consumption?
1 Answers
The average fuel consumption of motor vehicles is considered normal if it matches the official fuel consumption per 100 kilometers published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, or is 3 to 5 points higher. Tire Impact on Fuel Consumption: The relationship between tires and fuel consumption varies depending on the type of tread pattern. Tires with zigzag patterns are more fuel-efficient compared to standard treads. Fuel-saving tires can reduce fuel consumption. Compared to products of the same specification, fuel-saving tires have lower rolling resistance values under the same load. Reducing rolling resistance leads to lower fuel consumption. If a vehicle is equipped with four fuel-saving tires, it can significantly reduce fuel usage. Drag Coefficient Impact on Fuel Consumption: The design of a car also plays a crucial role in fuel economy, especially at higher speeds, which is referred to as "aerodynamic drag." Reducing air resistance is mainly achieved by minimizing the vehicle's frontal area and drag coefficient. The frontal area depends on the vehicle's size, while the drag coefficient is influenced by the body design. Compact and streamlined car bodies are effective ways to improve fuel efficiency.
