What is the difference in fuel consumption between driving on highways and not driving on highways?
1 Answers
It depends on the specific situation. For example, some cars consume about 7L/100KM on highways and approximately 8.5L/100KM on national roads, resulting in a difference of 1.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Strengthen car maintenance: Car owners should regularly perform routine maintenance at auto repair shops, such as checking tire pressure, wheel alignment, adjusting the gap between brake friction pads and brake drums, lubricating various points on the car chassis, changing engine oil on schedule, and inspecting filters. Additionally, among the engine oil models specified in the manual, choose the one with the lowest viscosity, as higher viscosity increases friction and fuel consumption. 2. Avoid prolonged engine idling: Fuel consumption during idle parking is much higher than during normal driving. During cold starts, warming up the car should not exceed 1 minute; maintaining low-speed driving for a few minutes is sufficient.
