What is considered low fuel consumption per 100 kilometers?
2 Answers
Generally speaking, the average fuel consumption for urban driving is around 7.5L, costing approximately 0.5~0.7 yuan per kilometer, which can be considered relatively fuel-efficient. Here are more details about vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Introduction: Fuel consumption generally refers to constant-speed fuel consumption, which is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in constant-speed driving fuel consumption tests as specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. 2. Calculation method: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers equals fuel consumption (liters) divided by driving distance (kilometers) multiplied by 100. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in the manuals of domestic vehicles is usually constant-speed fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator of a vehicle driving at a constant speed on good road surfaces.
It really depends on what car you're driving. When I drove a compact sedan, keeping it around 6 liters with AC on during highway driving in summer felt quite fuel-efficient. Now driving my friend's Japanese hybrid is even more impressive - just 4.5 liters for urban commuting. But if you're driving an American large-displacement SUV, 10 liters might already be considered good. Actually, anything below the number on that yellow fuel consumption label from MIIT basically counts as fuel-efficient, since their testing conditions are stricter than our daily driving. I heard some domestic plug-in hybrids now achieve just over 5 liters even in charge-sustaining mode - technology has really advanced.
