What is the actual fuel consumption of the 1.0 Alto?
2 Answers
1.0 Alto's actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is around 6L. Factors affecting 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. Ways to reduce fuel consumption: Start in low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed; avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving; avoid excessive vehicle load and a full fuel tank; avoid using high-viscosity engine oil; try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brake. Fuel tank capacity: Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while medium-sized cars have a fuel tank capacity of about 55-75 liters. After filling up the tank, the car can usually travel about 500 kilometers.
I've been driving an Alto 1.0 for three years now. It's truly fuel-efficient, but the actual consumption depends on the situation. For daily city commuting with frequent stops and starts, it averages around 6 liters per 100 km. On long highway trips, maintaining a steady speed of 90 km/h, I've achieved as low as 4.2 liters. Winter heating has minimal impact, but summer AC usage increases consumption by 0.5 to 1 liter. Driving style matters too – gentle acceleration saves me about 0.8 liters compared to aggressive driving. With its small 25-liter tank, a full refill costs about 150 yuan. One tank gives me 450 km in city driving and 550 km on highways, working out to less than 0.4 yuan per kilometer. It's genuinely economical for daily transportation.
