What is the actual fuel consumption of the Ford Everest?
1 Answers
Ford Everest's 2.0T gasoline engine model has an official fuel consumption of about 10L per 100 kilometers as given by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. However, the actual fuel consumption is slightly higher, approximately 11-12L per 100 kilometers. It can be even higher in congested traffic conditions, while it tends to be lower on highways. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. For short stops, such as at a brief traffic light, simply press the brake pedal. However, if the stop lasts more than 2 minutes, shift into N gear to protect the transmission and prevent overheating of the transmission fluid. If the stop exceeds 5 minutes, it's best to shift into P gear, which is both environmentally friendly and fuel-saving. 2. When accelerating from a stop, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down. This only increases engine RPM, causing unnecessary engine noise and transmission wear, leading to fuel wastage. The correct approach is to gently press the accelerator pedal, utilizing low-speed downshifting to increase torque for acceleration. Gradual and uniform acceleration, followed by steady driving after reaching speed, provides a smoother experience for automatic transmission vehicles. 3. Skillfully utilize coasting. Coasting does not mean shifting into neutral, but rather releasing the accelerator pedal to let the vehicle glide using its own momentum. 4. Regular maintenance. Frequently check the various fluids in the engine compartment, especially the automatic transmission fluid unique to automatic vehicles. Dirty transmission fluid increases resistance, thereby increasing fuel consumption.
