I drove the Ford Kuga 1.5T for a while as my daily driver, mostly in the city. During stop-and-go traffic at red lights, the fuel consumption could spike to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, and occasionally even 11 liters wasn't surprising. On the highway, it was much more comfortable—with cruise control engaged, it stabilized around 7 liters, which felt quite economical. My habit is to drive as smoothly as possible, avoiding sudden acceleration or braking, which saves a lot of fuel in the long run. Fuel consumption is slightly higher when starting in cold weather, and running the AC in summer adds about half a liter. Remember to change the engine oil regularly and clean the air filter to optimize engine efficiency. Overall, the real-world fuel consumption averages 9 liters in the city and 7 liters on the highway, which is reasonable for this compact SUV. If your driving conditions are better, it could be even lower.
