What is the fuel consumption of the Dodge Journey?
2 Answers
The Dodge Journey has a fuel consumption of 8.3L per 100 kilometers. Below are the factors affecting fuel consumption and methods to reduce it: Factors affecting fuel consumption: Low tire pressure or severe tire wear, frequent heavy loads, poor road conditions, frequent braking, frequent starts, unnecessary revving, poor quality engine oil, severe wear or carbon buildup in engine components, etc., can all lead to increased fuel consumption. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Start slowly, press the accelerator gently, apply gentle throttle, brake lightly and early, maintain proper tire pressure, regularly organize the trunk to reduce weight.
My Dodge Journey is a 2013 2.4L 4WD model, driven for over seven years. The urban commuting fuel consumption is generally between 12 to 13L/100km, and it can spike to 14L with air conditioning in summer. On highways, it drops to around 9L, which is acceptable. The vehicle's 1.9-ton curb weight is the main reason for the high fuel consumption, especially during acceleration. I've tried switching driving modes; the eco mode saves about 0.5L of fuel, but the power noticeably weakens. I recommend regularly clearing out trunk clutter—after removing two boxes of tools last time, my fuel consumption dropped by 0.3L. Additionally, there's little difference in fuel consumption between 92 and 95 octane gasoline in real-world tests, making 92 octane more cost-effective in the long run.
