What is the fuel consumption of the 2014 Peugeot 308?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the 2014 Peugeot 308 is generally around 8. Below are the relevant factors that affect fuel consumption: 1. Car shape: The design of the car's shape and contour takes into account wind resistance. The greater the wind resistance, the higher the fuel consumption. A significant portion of wind resistance is influenced by the car's shape. Reducing wind resistance by about 10% can decrease fuel consumption by approximately 3%. 2. Carbon deposits in the transmission: Carbon deposits in the transmission can reduce engine power and, to some extent, lead to increased fuel consumption. This is because achieving the same power as before the carbon deposits requires increasing the throttle opening and corresponding fuel supply. 3. Driving habits: Habits such as slamming on the brakes, driving at high speeds in low gears, frequent braking, and aggressively stepping on the accelerator when starting can all increase the vehicle's fuel consumption.
I've been driving a 2014 Peugeot 308 for three years now, mainly for daily commuting in the city, with an average fuel consumption of around 8 liters per 100 kilometers. If I encounter traffic jams or frequent short-distance starts and stops, it can go up to around 10 liters. On the highway, it's much better, with steady driving consuming just over 6 liters, and using the air conditioning in summer adds about half a liter to one liter. As the car ages, changing the engine oil and air filter has a noticeable impact on fuel consumption. With proper maintenance, it can at least stabilize around 7 liters. I think for this type of compact car, although the official claimed fuel consumption is 6.5 liters in mixed conditions, the actual driving experience isn't too far off. The key lies in driving habits, such as avoiding sudden braking and rapid acceleration, which can save a lot on fuel costs.
