What is the actual fuel consumption of MG ZS?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of MG ZS ranges from 7.29L/100Km to 8.11L/100Km. Factors affecting car fuel consumption: Driver's driving habits, road conditions, weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period, these factors will all affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Solutions to reduce car fuel consumption: Avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving; avoid excessive vehicle load and full fuel tank; avoid using high-viscosity engine oil; try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brake. Choose appropriate roads for driving, as relatively smooth roads result in lower fuel consumption.
I've been driving my MG ZS for over a year now, mainly commuting on city roads. The official fuel consumption data claims 6.8L/100km, but my actual calculations show an average of around 8-9L. During morning and evening rush hour traffic jams, it can easily rise above 10L, which is quite common. When driving more frequently, turning on the AC increases fuel consumption, and in summer when carrying some cargo with a fully loaded trunk, it adds about 1L more. I've found driving habits make the biggest difference – frequent hard acceleration and sudden braking can increase fuel consumption by at least 5%. On highways, the situation improves, maintaining around 7L. I recommend paying attention to smooth driving – gentle acceleration saves fuel. Also, don't neglect regular maintenance like changing air filters and checking tire pressure. These are all tips I've gathered from experience.
