What is the actual fuel consumption of the Honda Crosstour 2.4?
2 Answers
The combined fuel consumption is 9.1L/100KM, while the actual fuel consumption is around 10.2L/100KM. The actual fuel consumption is influenced by many factors, including not only human operation but also the thermal efficiency of the engine, the mechanical efficiency of the engine and transmission system, and the resistance the vehicle encounters. Below is some relevant information: 1. Factors affecting vehicle fuel consumption: the thermal efficiency of the engine, the mechanical efficiency of the engine and transmission system, and the resistance the vehicle encounters. 2. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Generally speaking, the thermal efficiency of the engine and the mechanical efficiency of the vehicle are designed at the time of manufacture and cannot be changed, while the driving resistance of the vehicle can be controlled. The biggest factor affecting the driving resistance of the vehicle is its weight. Reducing the weight of the vehicle will significantly decrease its fuel consumption.
I previously drove my friend's Crosstour 2.4. In city driving, it typically consumed 11-13 liters per 100km, and could reach 14 liters in heavy traffic. The car weighs nearly 1.7 tons, so it's quite fuel-thirsty on routes with many traffic lights. On highways, it's much more economical - I once achieved a minimum of 8.5 liters at a steady 100 km/h cruise, with normal highway driving around 9-10 liters. Using AC adds about half a liter. Remember to maintain tire pressure at 2.5 bar - don't let it get too low. For better fuel efficiency, avoid sudden braking, especially don't floor the accelerator when starting - although this car has quick throttle response, gentle acceleration actually saves more fuel.
