What is the actual fuel consumption of the Fit 1.51?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Fit ranges from 6L to 9L per 100KM. Here is the relevant information: 1. In urban areas, the actual fuel consumption is approximately 7L-8L, while on the highway it can be lower, around 6L. The Fit uses 92-octane gasoline, and fuel prices vary by region. However, as a compact car with a naturally aspirated engine, the Fit's fuel economy is still excellent. 2. Air conditioning has a significant impact on a car's fuel consumption. Currently, official fuel consumption tests are conducted with the air conditioning turned off. In actual driving conditions, using the air conditioning at its maximum setting can increase fuel consumption by 5% to 25% compared to having it turned off. The United States has regulations for fuel consumption evaluation tests with the air conditioning on, which is worth referencing.
I've been driving a Honda Fit 1.5L for over a year, mainly commuting in the city, with an actual fuel consumption of about 7 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, the fuel consumption can surge to over 8 liters, and with frequent traffic lights or high temperatures requiring air conditioning, it can reach 9 liters. However, on the highway, maintaining a steady speed can reduce it to just over 6 liters. The car's load and tire pressure are also crucial; a full car with luggage can slightly increase fuel consumption by 0.5 liters. I usually pay attention to gentle acceleration and avoid hard braking, trying to avoid peak-hour routes, which keeps the fuel consumption relatively stable. Overall, this car is economical, but using the air conditioning in summer is quite fuel-consuming.
