What is the fuel consumption of a China IV standard scooter?
2 Answers
China IV standard scooters typically consume about 2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Correct fuel consumption calculation formula: Fuel consumed ÷ distance traveled × 100 = fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The data on fuel consumed is relatively difficult to obtain. Generally, a full tank is used as the initial data, and after traveling a certain distance, the tank is filled again. The fuel refill data provided by the gas station is then used as the final measurement. Tips for saving fuel: If the fuel consumed during idling for over 1 minute equals the fuel used for one start, then the fuel consumed by the engine idling for 5 minutes could allow the scooter to travel over 1 kilometer.
I used to ride a China IV standard scooter, the common 125cc model, with a fuel consumption of about 2.0 to 3.0 liters per 100 kilometers. For urban commuting, it averaged 2.5 liters, and on highways with good conditions, it could drop to 2 liters. Many factors affect fuel consumption, such as traffic congestion increasing it, and longer engine warm-up times in cold weather leading to higher consumption. Driving habits are crucial—maintaining a steady speed and avoiding sudden braking can save fuel. I often used a mobile app to record refueling data and mileage, checking roughly once a month. In practice, I noticed that low tire pressure significantly increased fuel consumption, so regular maintenance checks are essential. After replacing the air filter and spark plugs, fuel consumption became more stable. The China IV standard requires efficient combustion, making these scooters slightly more fuel-efficient than China III models, but actual performance varies by brand. I recommend checking official data or forum reviews before purchasing.
