2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the 3.8L Pajero is 13.77-17.68L/100km. Below are the factors affecting fuel consumption and methods to reduce it: Factors affecting fuel consumption: The driving habits of the driver, road conditions, the weight of items placed in the vehicle, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period, among other factors, can all affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving, avoid overloading the vehicle and keeping the fuel tank full, avoid using high-viscosity engine oil, and try to control speed with the throttle rather than the brakes.
I've been driving a 3.8L Pajero for several years, with an average fuel consumption of around 14L/100km. In city driving, it can go up to 16L, while on the highway, it drops to about 12L. Why is it so high? Mainly because the vehicle is heavy, has high wind resistance, and the engine displacement is relatively large. I enjoy off-roading and often drive on mountain roads; the bumpy dirt roads make the engine consume more fuel. However, the car has strong power and doesn't struggle when climbing hills, which I think makes it worth it. For regular driving, I recommend avoiding aggressive acceleration and maintaining a steady speed to save some fuel. Keeping the car well-maintained, such as cleaning the engine, can reduce fuel consumption, saving up to 1L. Overall, although the fuel consumption is high, the safety is excellent, making it suitable for long-distance or off-road enthusiasts.
