What is the actual fuel consumption of the Peugeot 508?
1 Answers
Peugeot 508's combined fuel consumption is 6-6.1L/100km. There are currently 5 models of the Peugeot 508 on sale: the Pioneer Edition and the Drive Fun Edition, with a combined fuel consumption of 6L/100km. The Sport Edition, Passion Edition, and Drive Control Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test cycle. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.0-8.8L/100km. Automobile fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier vehicles 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. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during cold starts does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
