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.

When repairing cars, I've come across many Ford Focus 1.8 automatics, and owners generally report fuel consumption around 11 liters. The engine is a bit old, and the transmission isn't very efficient. If the tire pressure is low or the air filter is clogged, it can go up to 14 liters. I always remind people to check the oxygen sensor and spark plugs—if these are faulty, they'll burn more fuel. Fuel-saving tips: maintain a steady speed of 60 to 80 km/h, avoid opening windows on highways to reduce wind resistance, and don't warm up the engine for more than a minute. Check tire pressure monthly—low pressure can increase consumption by half a liter. Drive economically to save on fuel costs and reduce hassle.

My buddy's classic Focus 1.8 automatic is quite fun to drive, averaging just over 10 liters. Traffic jams are a pain though. It drinks more with AC cranked up in summer—fuel vanishes fast on outings. On highways it easily drops to 9L. Our car group chats all agree: decent power but thirsty at the pump, better opt for energy-saving tires when replacing. Pro tips for daily driving: coast early for distant traffic lights, avoid aggressive stop-starts in town—saves a ton.

Are All Benzes Mercedes?

Not all Benzes are Mercedes; only the imported versions are Mercedes, while the domestically produced Benzes are Beijing Benzes. Benz is a German luxury car manufacturer, and the domestically produced Benz models include the A-Class, C-Class, E-Class, and Benz GLC, among others. The Benz logo originally featured 'Benz' surrounded by wheat ears, which later evolved into the three-pointed star pattern, symbolizing the mechanization and integration of land, water, and air. The exterior design of Benz cars combines straight edges with curved frames, creating a sharper and more dynamic appearance. The lower bumper lines are designed with a V-shape to outline a trapezoidal lower air intake, and a slender LED daytime running light strip is added near the fog lights, giving the front end a spirited and energetic look.

What Causes the Noise When Braking Just After Starting the Car?

When you slowly release the brake pedal, the engine already has enough power to drive the car forward, but your brakes haven't fully disengaged yet. As a result, the moving wheels are being held back by the braking system, which naturally produces unusual noises—this is a normal phenomenon. Here's some relevant information: In manual transmission cars, when you lift the brake, the transmission doesn't output power, and the vehicle starts only after the brake is fully released. However, in automatic transmission cars, as soon as you engage the gear, the transmission already provides the force for the tires to rotate forward; it's just that the brakes are being pressed, preventing the vehicle from moving. When starting an automatic transmission car, the brake is usually released slowly. If you release the brake quickly, you won't hear this noise.

How to check if a vehicle has an ETC account?

Vehicle owners can bring their ID card, vehicle license and other documents to an ETC service outlet and consult the staff to check whether their vehicle has an ETC account. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Cancellation: If the vehicle has already registered for ETC, the previous owner needs to go to the bank where the ETC was originally processed to cancel it. 2. Introduction: ETC is the English abbreviation for Electronic Toll Collection system. It refers to a system where vehicles are identified and information is written through on-board equipment when passing through toll stations, automatically deducting corresponding funds from pre-bound IC cards or bank accounts. It is an electronic toll collection system for roads, bridges and tunnels that is being actively developed and promoted internationally.

How much fuel does a 2.0T engine consume when idling for one hour?

On average, it may consume around 1.6 liters. The higher the engine displacement, the more fuel is consumed per hour during idling. Here is some information about idling: 1. Definition: Idling refers to the operation of the engine without any load, where it only needs to overcome the internal friction resistance of its own components and does not output power externally. The minimum speed required to maintain stable engine operation is called idle speed, which is one of the five basic operating conditions of an engine. When adjusting the idle speed, the speed should not fluctuate abruptly, as this can cause premature wear to the engine. 2. Impact: Fuel consumption. The engine can accumulate carbon deposits. Prolonged idling can lead to excessive carbon buildup in the engine, resulting in insufficient power during driving and, in severe cases, black smoke from the exhaust pipe.
