What is the actual fuel consumption of the 1.8 Civic?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the 1.8 Civic is 6.6-6.8L/100km. Fuel consumption depends on driving habits: Drivers who brake harshly, have fluctuating speeds, let the engine idle for long periods, aggressively seize gaps, or drive long distances at high speeds in low gears will all experience increased fuel consumption. Principles of vehicle fuel consumption: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is an indicator of a vehicle. Within the economic speed range, the slower the vehicle travels, the higher the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Conversely, exceeding the economic speed has the opposite effect. If the engine speed is maintained within the same safe range, the hourly fuel consumption remains the same regardless of the vehicle's speed.
As a long-term owner of a 1.8L Civic, let me share some real-world fuel consumption insights. During rush hour in the city with heavy traffic, fuel consumption can rise to around 10L/100km. On highways maintaining a 90-100km/h cruise, it drops to just over 7L, averaging about 8.5L overall. Driving habits make a big difference - my aggressive acceleration and braking habits increase consumption, while adopting smoother driving once saved me nearly 1L. Vehicle age also matters, with older cars consuming more, as do weather conditions - summer AC use adds over 1L. From my experience, maintaining proper tire pressure helps slightly, but the Civic's well-designed engine performs above average for its displacement. Real-world consumption fluctuates significantly, typically ranging between 7.5-10L depending on conditions.
