What is the actual fuel consumption of the 1.5T Envision?
1 Answers
1.5T Envision's official combined fuel consumption is 6.6L/km, while the actual measured fuel consumption is 7.1L/km. Fuel consumption largely depends on individual driving habits, throttle control, whether the engine idles for long periods with AC and music on, and differs significantly between city traffic with frequent stops and highway driving. Below are reasons for high fuel consumption: 1. Improper driving habits: Fuel consumption is closely related to the driver's habits, such as prolonged idling without turning off the engine or frequent starts, aggressive acceleration or frequent braking, driving at high speeds in low gears or low speeds in high gears. These habits significantly 'contribute' to increased fuel consumption. 2. Abnormal tire pressure and tire wear: Low tire pressure increases friction between the tire and the ground, raising resistance and fuel consumption. Normal tire pressure is around 2.5bar, which can be slightly reduced by 0.1bar in summer. However, tire pressure should not be too high either; it's best to follow the vehicle's standard values. Additionally, severely worn tires often cause slipping, which also increases fuel consumption. 3. Fuel quality and carbon deposits: Many drivers overlook fuel quality. Poor-quality gasoline increases carbon deposits, which roughens the intake pipe walls, affecting air intake and mixture quality, leading to a sharp rise in fuel consumption. Therefore, gasoline quality cannot be ignored. Regular maintenance at a 4S shop is a forward-looking investment, ensuring normal vehicle performance and saving unnecessary future expenses.
