What is the fuel consumption of the 8th generation Accord?
2 Answers
8th generation Accord fuel consumption is 7.80l/100km. Engine specifications: The 8th generation Accord is equipped with a newly upgraded Honda i-VTEC engine across the entire lineup. The 2.0-liter engine features enlarged intake valves, delivering a maximum power output of 156 horsepower (115 kilowatts). The i-VTEC inline 4-cylinder engine has smaller spark plugs and redesigned coolant flow with optimized ignition. Fuel tank usage precautions: Do not wait until the fuel warning light comes on to refuel. Check the fuel gauge before driving. The fuel pump is located inside the tank and operates at high temperatures during continuous use. Being submerged in fuel helps effectively cool it. When the fuel light comes on, it indicates the fuel level has dropped below the pump. Consistently waiting until the light comes on to refuel will shorten the fuel pump's service life. Maintaining too little fuel in the tank may even cause the fuel pump to burn out.
Speaking of the fuel consumption of the 8th-generation Accord, I've driven this car for several years and have some insights. For daily city driving, especially during rush hour traffic jams, the fuel consumption can reach 10-11 liters per 100 kilometers, and even higher during severe congestion. On the highway, it's much more fuel-efficient, usually around 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers when driving steadily. There are many influencing factors, but from my experience, driving habits are the most critical. Frequent hard acceleration or sudden braking can cause fuel consumption to spike. Also, as the car ages—mine has over 80,000 kilometers—if maintenance isn't kept up, fuel consumption gradually increases a bit. I recommend paying attention to tire pressure and air conditioning usage, and avoiding aggressive driving. Overall, an average of 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers is common. To make the most of this car, it's best to ease off the accelerator, especially since fuel prices aren't cheap.
