What is the fuel consumption of a 1.4L engine?
2 Answers
For a car with a 1.4L engine, the fuel consumption is approximately 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Additional information: 1. Constant-speed fuel consumption: Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in the manuals of domestic cars is generally the constant-speed fuel consumption. However, since cars often encounter various working conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling in actual driving, the constant-speed fuel consumption is often lower than the actual fuel consumption, resulting in a significant difference. 2. Fuel consumption calculation formula: Kilometers traveled = Amount of gasoline / Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers * 100; Cost per 100 kilometers = Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers * Fuel price.
I've driven several 1.4L displacement cars, mostly compact models like the Volkswagen Polo or Toyota Yaris. The combined fuel consumption typically ranges between 6 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers. It's slightly higher in city traffic jams, reaching about 9 liters, while highway cruising is more efficient at around 6 liters. Many factors affect fuel consumption - road conditions are crucial. More traffic lights or uphill driving naturally consumes more fuel. Driving habits also play a key role; sudden acceleration or frequent braking wastes fuel significantly. I often maintain a steady speed to maximize mileage per liter. Regular maintenance helps tremendously - changing engine oil and cleaning air filters can stabilize and slightly reduce fuel consumption. Using air conditioning or carrying heavy loads also increases consumption, so being mindful in daily use saves both money and effort. Don't underestimate tire pressure - every slight drop increases fuel consumption by fractions. I check mine frequently. Overall, 1.4L engines are relatively fuel-efficient for daily driving, but they require careful management.
