What is the actual fuel consumption of the Emgrand?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Emgrand ranges from 6.0 to 7.7L/100km. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Strengthen vehicle maintenance: Owners should regularly take their cars to repair shops for routine maintenance, such as checking tire pressure, wheel alignment, adjusting the clearance between brake friction pads and brake drums, lubricating the chassis, changing engine oil on schedule, and inspecting filters. Additionally, among the engine oil models specified in the manual, choose the one with the lowest viscosity, as higher viscosity increases friction and fuel consumption. 2. Avoid prolonged engine idling: Fuel consumption during idle parking is much higher than during normal driving. During cold starts, warm-up should not exceed 1 minute; maintaining low-speed driving for a few minutes is sufficient. 3. Avoid sudden braking and acceleration as much as possible: Smooth and steady driving is the most fuel-efficient. During the initial acceleration phase, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal too hard. The correct method is to accelerate smoothly and maintain a constant speed once a certain speed is reached. When driving in congested areas, always observe the road conditions ahead to avoid sudden braking.
As a daily commuter who frequently drives an Emgrand, I've found its actual fuel consumption heavily depends on driving scenarios. In urban congested roads, especially during rush hours, the fuel consumption often rises to around 9-10 liters per 100 kilometers; while cruising on highways, it can drop below 7 liters. On average, it's about 8.5 liters/100km, which translates to approximately 600 yuan per month in fuel costs at current oil prices—quite suitable for a working-class budget. Many factors affect this: for instance, running the AC at full blast increases consumption by about 0.5 liters, and cold winter temperatures make the engine less fuel-efficient. Maintaining good driving habits is key: avoiding sudden braking and rapid acceleration, I often use GPS navigation to plan less congested routes, keeping fuel consumption stable. The Emgrand performs reliably in fuel efficiency, especially for middle-to-low-income earners—it's a great money-saving car. Regular maintenance has also helped me significantly; after changing the engine oil and air filter, fuel efficiency improved noticeably.
