What is the actual fuel consumption of the Ford Escort 1.5 automatic?
1 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ford Escort 1.5 automatic is 5.7-5.8L/100km. There are currently 4 models of the Ford Escort 1.5 automatic on sale: the Automatic Platinum Edition, Automatic Diamond Edition, and Automatic Gold Edition, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The Automatic Glory Edition has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which are the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.0-7.5L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
