What is the fuel consumption of the 8th generation Civic?
2 Answers
The manual transmission version of the 8th generation Honda Civic has a fuel consumption of approximately 7L/100km, while the automatic transmission version consumes about 7.8L/100km. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: Avoid frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a major cause of high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia and control the speed more by adjusting the throttle. Avoid excessive use of air conditioning: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.
I'm the owner of an eighth-generation Civic, which I've been driving for five or six years. In city driving, the fuel consumption is around 9L/100km, while on highways it drops to 6-7L/100km, depending on road conditions and driving habits. In heavy traffic, it can go up to 10L/100km, but driving steadily on highways saves a lot. My weekly commute is 30km, and the actual measured average is 8.5L/100km, which is quite reasonable. Using 92-octane gasoline keeps the costs low. I recommend maintaining proper tire pressure, avoiding carrying unnecessary weight, and regularly replacing the air filter and engine oil to keep fuel consumption from spiking. As the car ages, fuel consumption may increase, so I replace worn-out spark plugs promptly. Overall, maintenance is simple, and it's reliable for long trips.
