What is the actual fuel consumption of the SYM Fiddle 4?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the SYM Fiddle 4 is 5.2-5.6L/100km. Currently, there are 6 models of the SYM Fiddle 4 on sale. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Trend Start version is 5.2L/100km. The Trend Enjoy and Trend Run versions have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. The Trend Run Pro, Trend Beyond Max, and Trend Beyond versions have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, around 5.6L. Here are 5 tips to help reduce fuel consumption while driving: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear and gently press the accelerator to gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration and braking, early braking: While driving, press the accelerator lightly to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent the car from shaking, which helps save fuel. By anticipating road conditions and accelerating or braking slowly and evenly, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (equivalent to about 0.2 in metric units, relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular vehicle maintenance or checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter when dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the recommended mileage. Close windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance, which in turn increases the resistance the car faces, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
I've been riding the SYM Fiddle 4 for over half a year, and its fuel consumption is quite satisfying. Generally, the actual fuel consumption ranges between 2.3 to 2.6 liters per 100 kilometers, but this can vary significantly depending on personal riding habits. When I maintain a steady speed of 60 km/h on suburban roads, the fuel consumption can drop to around 2.2 liters. However, in city traffic with frequent stops and starts, or with aggressive acceleration, it can rise to 2.8 liters. New bikes require a break-in period, and fuel consumption is slightly higher for the first few thousand kilometers before stabilizing. I regularly check tire pressure to keep it at the recommended level, avoid overloading the bike, and change the engine oil periodically, which helps save fuel. I find these figures quite realistic. Compared to other scooters, the Fiddle 4's fuel efficiency is excellent—a full tank can easily cover over 200 kilometers, saving a noticeable amount on monthly fuel costs.
