What is the actual fuel consumption of the Toyota Corolla?
1 Answers
Currently, the gasoline version of the Toyota Corolla on sale is equipped with a 1.2T engine, with an official fuel consumption of 5.5L-5.7L per 100 kilometers. Based on owner feedback, the average comprehensive fuel consumption is around 6.9L. The reasons for increasing fuel consumption in cars are as follows: 1. Impact of temperature on fuel consumption fluctuations: Generally, in winter when temperatures are low, fuel consumption tends to increase, almost comparable to fuel consumption when using air conditioning in summer. This is because lower temperatures cause the engine to dissipate more heat. 2. Lack of regular vehicle maintenance: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty oil results in poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts and requiring more energy to overcome this resistance, thus raising fuel consumption. 3. Need to replace spark plugs: Spark plugs are often overlooked. Even if they can still function, worn spark plugs may cause delayed ignition due to insufficient energy, missing the optimal ignition timing.
