As a long-time Lavida owner, I can share my real-world experience. My car is equipped with a 1.5L engine, mainly used for urban commuting with occasional highway driving, averaging around 7L per 100km in actual fuel consumption. The official data claims 5-6L, but reality shows higher figures due to frequent stop-and-go traffic where consumption can rise to about 8L, with AC usage having a noticeable impact. My method for testing fuel efficiency involves recording mileage and fuel amount at each refill to calculate accurate data. Driving habits are crucial – avoiding sudden braking and acceleration while maintaining steady speed can save significant fuel, keeping monthly fuel expenses reasonable over time. Regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter replacements helps maintain engine efficiency, and these small steps collectively make a big difference in fuel economy. Overall, I find the Lavida reasonably economical but attention to daily details is essential.
