What is the fuel consumption of the Classic Focus 1.8 automatic?
2 Answers
There is one model of the Classic Focus 1.8 automatic, the Focus-2014-Classic Hatchback-1.8L-Automatic Cool White Collector's Edition, equipped with a 124 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 12.2L per 100 km. The Classic Focus 1.8 model with a 124 horsepower engine has a fuel tank capacity of 55L. A full tank can cover a distance of 55/12.2*100=451km. 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 displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. 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 temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is less likely to vaporize, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, the engine computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up the car, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving my classic Ford Focus 1.8 automatic for several years, with fuel consumption fluctuating between 10 to 12 liters per 100 km depending on road conditions and driving habits. For instance, it can spike to over 13 liters in city traffic jams, while dropping to around 8 liters on highways. Hot weather with AC on or heavy loads also affect it - typically consuming 1 liter more in summer. My monthly fuel costs range between 700-800 RMB, so I've developed fuel-saving habits: gentle acceleration, smooth braking, and using cruise control on highways. Regular oil changes and air filter replacements help maintain engine efficiency and reduce waste. Overall, though it's an older car, I've gotten used to its fuel consumption control. The key is avoiding aggressive throttle inputs.
