What is the fuel consumption of the classic Focus 1.8?
2 Answers
The classic Focus 1.8 has two models: the Focus-2014-Hatchback Classic-1.8L-Automatic Cool White Collector's Edition and the Manual Cool White Collector's Edition, both equipped with a 124 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.2L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different 1.8T Magotan models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 124 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 55L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 55/7.2*100=764km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's 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.
I've been driving the classic Ford Focus 1.8 for several years, and the fuel consumption has remained quite stable. Under mixed driving conditions, it averages around 8.5 to 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic with frequent congestion, it can rise above 10 liters, especially with many traffic lights which consume more fuel. On the highway, maintaining a steady speed between 80-100 km/h brings the fuel consumption down to about 7 liters, which is quite economical. To save on fuel costs, I make a habit of avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, and I set the air conditioning to a moderate temperature. Regular maintenance is crucial—replacing the air filter and cleaning carbon deposits help the engine run efficiently, while keeping tire pressure at the recommended PSI level in the manual avoids increased resistance and fuel consumption. Checking the engine oil level and timely replacements also prevent engine aging and rising fuel consumption. This car isn't the most fuel-efficient, but it's reliable and durable, making it quite convenient for daily use.
