What is the actual fuel consumption of the Ford Mondeo 2.3?
2 Answers
2.3L Ford Mondeo's actual fuel consumption is 10.5-11.5L/100km. Below are the factors affecting fuel consumption and methods to reduce it: Factors affecting fuel consumption: Driver's driving habits, road conditions, weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period, among other factors, can all affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving, avoid overloading the vehicle and keeping the fuel tank full, avoid using high-viscosity engine oil, and try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brake.
I've driven a Ford Mondeo 2.3 for five years. This car's highway fuel consumption is around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, while city driving consumes more, often exceeding 11 liters, especially in traffic jams or when using air conditioning. Actual data varies by driver. My car is a bit older, and while maintenance is decent, aging increases fuel consumption—like low tire pressure or minor ignition system issues can raise it. I remember the combined fuel consumption was 9.5 liters when new, but after a few years, it fluctuated around 10.5 liters. Gentle acceleration and avoiding sudden braking can save some fuel. Overall, this engine isn't the most fuel-efficient, but with careful driving, it's manageable for daily use. Regular maintenance, like replacing the air filter, helps keep consumption in check.
