What is Considered Fuel-Efficient?
1 Answers
Based on the fuel consumption of mainstream vehicles today, an average of 7-9L/100km is considered relatively fuel-efficient. Below is an introduction to fuel consumption: Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Air conditioning malfunctions can also be a significant factor in increased fuel consumption. If the AC cooling effect is poor, many people tend to increase the fan speed and lower the temperature to achieve a cooler environment. Since the air conditioning directly affects a car's fuel consumption in summer, car owners must promptly maintain and inspect the AC system. Frequent hard braking is a major cause of persistently high fuel consumption. Data from hybrid vehicles equipped with kinetic energy recovery systems show that their fuel consumption is about 40% lower than that of comparable conventional models. Factors affecting fuel consumption: A car's fuel consumption is also directly related to tire pressure. For models without tire pressure monitoring displays, many car owners tend to overlook the importance of tire pressure. When tire pressure is either too high or too low, the car's fuel consumption increases. The road conditions on which a car is driven also affect fuel consumption. If a car frequently travels on poor road conditions, the engine load increases, naturally leading to higher fuel consumption.
