What is the actual fuel consumption of the new Mistra?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the new Mistra is 8L/100km for the 1.6T model in real-world tests, and 7.5-9.4L/100km for the 1.8L model. The fuel consumption of a vehicle mainly depends on driving habits and road conditions. As long as the vehicle is used normally and maintained on schedule, it should be fine. If the fuel consumption is too high, the engine may need carbon deposit cleaning. The reasons for high fuel consumption and solutions are as follows: 1. Engine carbon deposits: Long-term operation of the vehicle causes carbon deposits and sludge to form during gasoline combustion, leading to increased fuel consumption. The engine carbon deposits need to be cleaned. 2. Spark plug failure: The spark plug's role is to ignite the air-fuel mixture with a high-voltage spark. If damaged, the ignition energy decreases, causing uneven combustion and slower acceleration, which increases fuel consumption. Replace or clean the spark plugs. 3. Abnormal tire pressure: Incorrect tire pressure can also affect fuel consumption. If the pressure is too low or the tread is severely worn, the contact area with the road increases, leading to higher friction, rolling resistance, and fuel consumption. Check and adjust the tire pressure. 4. Long-term heavy loads: Carrying excessive weight increases the vehicle's overall mass and driving pressure, raising fuel consumption. Be mindful of the vehicle's load. 5. Faulty car sensors: If the coolant temperature sensor malfunctions, the engine may mistakenly think the car is cold, continuously sending signals to inject more fuel, increasing consumption. Replace the coolant temperature sensor.
As a long-term driver of the new Mistra, I find that actual fuel consumption varies from person to person. During my daily urban commutes, the average fuel consumption ranges between 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. In heavy traffic or with frequent red lights, it can even spike to 10 liters, mainly due to the increased fuel usage from frequent stops and starts. On weekends when I take my family on highway trips, the fuel consumption drops noticeably to around 6.5 to 7 liters, with the most fuel-efficient speed being a steady 90 km/h. Factors affecting consumption include whether the air conditioning is on—using the AC in summer can add about 0.5 liters—and the vehicle's load, as a fully packed trunk consumes more fuel. Overall, the new Mistra's fuel efficiency is moderate to good, slightly better than comparable sedans like the Accord, but not the most fuel-efficient. It ultimately depends on individual driving habits and road conditions.
