What is the actual fuel consumption of the 1.0 Alto?

[DeEmmanuel]

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.

I've driven the Alto 1.0 for five years, and its fuel consumption largely depends on road conditions. For daily urban use, the dashboard shows 5.8-6.3L/100km, which aligns closely with actual calculations. In suburban areas with good road conditions, it can drop below 5L. Maintaining a steady speed of 80 km/h on highways is the most fuel-efficient. Tire pressure is crucial—I keep it at the manufacturer-recommended 2.3, which saves 0.3L compared to 2.5. Using 5W-30 oil with lower viscosity also reduces fuel consumption. Short trips have higher fuel usage, stabilizing only after exceeding 10 km. Though the fuel tank is small, it's efficient; a full tank lasts about 500 km, making maintenance costs cheaper than charging an electric vehicle.

The actual fuel consumption of the 1.0 Alto manual transmission is as follows: Approximately 6.5L during peak hours in pure urban driving, with 7.2L being the limit in poor road conditions; 4.5L when cruising at 80 km/h on expressways, and slightly over 5L at 100 km/h on highways. The automatic transmission consumes an additional 0.5L of fuel. Fuel consumption is higher during the break-in period of a new car, dropping by about 0.8L after the first maintenance. Using air conditioning in summer increases fuel consumption by 8%-10%, with minimal impact in winter. Switching to 175-width tires consumes 0.3L more than the original 165-width tires, so it's recommended to stick to the original specifications. Using 92-octane gasoline is completely sufficient, and 95-octane does not offer better fuel efficiency.
