What is the fuel consumption of the Besturn B50?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Besturn B70 is 6.1-7.0L/100km. Currently, there are 11 models of the Besturn B70 on sale. The manual Yuzhi model has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. The automatic Yuxiang Special Edition, automatic Zhixiang, automatic Zunxiang, automatic Yuxiang, automatic Yuexiang, automatic 15th Anniversary Edition, and automatic Lexiang models have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km. The automatic Yuxiang Special Edition, automatic Yuxiang, and automatic Zhixiang models have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.0L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.1-9.8L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can 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, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars 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 car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine control unit may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.
The average fuel consumption of the Besturn B50 generally ranges between 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on driving conditions and personal habits. When driving in congested urban areas, my fuel consumption can rise to around 9 liters, and a full tank doesn't last very long. However, on the highway at a steady speed of 100 km/h, the fuel consumption can drop below 6 liters. Many factors affect it: using air conditioning in hot weather increases fuel consumption by more than half a liter, and sudden braking or acceleration also consumes more fuel. It's recommended to maintain a steady speed and perform regular maintenance, which can save a significant amount on fuel costs in the long run. Actually, different engine versions also make a difference; the 1.6L version is slightly more fuel-efficient, just avoid driving too fast.
