What is the fuel consumption of the 2013 2.0t Mondeo?

The 2013 2.0t Mondeo currently has five models: GTDi200 Fashion, GTDi200 Luxury, GTDi240 Luxury Sport, GTDi240 Premium, and GTDi240 Flagship. The NEDC fuel consumption is 7.9L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of all 2013 2.0t Mondeo models is 62L. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the five models—GTDi200 Fashion, GTDi200 Luxury, GTDi240 Luxury Sport, GTDi240 Premium, and GTDi240 Flagship—the distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is 62/7.9*100=745km. Automobile fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've driven the 2013 2.0T Mondeo quite a few times. In city driving, the fuel consumption is generally around 11 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways it can drop to 7-8 liters. This 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers strong power, but fuel consumption can spike above 13 liters when accelerating aggressively or in heavy traffic, which is quite common. I recommend maintaining smooth acceleration and avoiding sudden braking to save some fuel. Additionally, regular maintenance is crucial—replacing the air filter and using 95-octane gasoline can optimize combustion efficiency. Overall, it's not the most fuel-efficient, but it's fairly average among turbocharged cars in its class. My actual measured average is between 9 to 10 liters.
