What is the fuel consumption of a 3.6L engine?

Taking the Buick Enclave as an example: The Buick Enclave's fuel consumption is 14.8 liters per 100 kilometers. A car's fuel consumption is not only related to the car itself but also to the driver's habits and road conditions. The main factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Vehicle-related reasons: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the air-fuel ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the engine's air-fuel ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. After the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gases while driving. 2. Long overdue replacement of the 'three filters': During vehicle use, the three filters (oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter) must be replaced regularly. If not replaced for a long time, they become dirty and affect performance, sending incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits.

I've driven a few 3.6L displacement cars and found the fuel consumption quite high. Generally, in congested urban areas, fuel consumption can exceed 12 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways it drops to around 10 liters. This largely depends on the vehicle type—SUVs or pickups consume more fuel than sedans—and driving habits. For example, frequent rapid acceleration and braking, like I often do, can cause fuel consumption to skyrocket. To save fuel, maintaining a steady speed and regularly servicing the air filter are effective. Compared to today's small-displacement turbocharged cars, the 3.6L engine's fuel consumption is on the higher side, but it offers strong power, making it suitable for those who enjoy the thrill of acceleration. If you're environmentally conscious or looking to save money, I'd recommend opting for a hybrid version.

As an enthusiast frequently exposed to various cars, the 3.6-liter displacement is commonly seen in American and German vehicles, with fuel consumption fluctuating approximately between 11-15 liters/100km. There are too many influencing factors: vehicle weight, tire pressure, road conditions (mountains consume more fuel than plains), and even climate (hot or cold). Test-driving Chrysler's 3.6L engine, I felt the fuel consumption exceeded 14 liters in city traffic jams; for daily driving, if driven gently, it can be controlled at around 11 liters. Compared to a 1.5T compact car, the fuel consumption more than doubles. It is recommended to use high-quality fuel to reduce carbon deposits and regularly check the spark plugs to extend their lifespan.

I've tested my friend's 3.6L displacement model, with fuel consumption generally around 10-13 liters. It depends on how you drive: urban short trips often spike to 12L, while long highway journeys can save fuel down to 9L. There's significant variation between models - for instance, Dodge's large-engine SUGs are thirstier, while lighter sedans perform better. Proper maintenance can slightly reduce fuel consumption, such as changing to fresh engine oil. Overall, 3.6L vehicles aren't fuel-efficient choices, but they offer ample power suitable for enthusiasts. Consider alternatives like hybrid models for better economy.
