What is considered high fuel consumption?
1 Answers
Different cars, models, engine displacements, and driving habits all result in varying fuel consumption. Generally, for a family sedan with around a 1.6-liter engine displacement, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will be around 6-8 liters. Below is an introduction related to fuel consumption: Habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly influenced by driving habits and road conditions. Avoid stomping on the accelerator; gradual acceleration when starting is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator heavily when starting, as heavy acceleration can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times compared to normal acceleration. Braking: Maintaining a safe distance and avoiding frequent braking saves more fuel. If you don't maintain a safe distance, you may need to brake frequently on the road. When braking, an automatic transmission car will downshift, requiring the car to accelerate again from a lower gear. Starting from a standstill or in a low gear forces the engine to consume more fuel.
