What is the actual fuel consumption of the Passat 330?
1 Answers
The Passat 330 comes in six models, all equipped with a 186-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.3L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of the Passat 330 models is 68.5L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 186-horsepower engine, the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 68.5/6.3*100=1087km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption.
