What is the fuel consumption of the Elantra?
2 Answers
The average fuel consumption of the Elantra is 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers. The actual comprehensive fuel consumption is related to multiple factors such as load, road conditions, driving habits, weather, wind speed, tire pressure, etc. The actual comprehensive fuel consumption should be based on the actual driving conditions. Methods to determine fuel consumption: You can determine the fuel consumption through the car's dashboard, where F=full; E=empty. When the fuel tank warning light is on, record the mileage, then note how much fuel is added. When the fuel is next exhausted, record the mileage again. Subtract the initial mileage from the current mileage, then divide by the amount of fuel used to calculate the fuel consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption: There is a certain relationship between engine displacement and fuel consumption, but a higher fuel consumption does not necessarily mean a larger displacement. In a relative sense, the size of a car's engine displacement does not directly correlate with fuel consumption. Besides engine displacement, factors such as the car's shape, weight, and engine technology are also significant factors affecting fuel consumption.
I drive a 2018 1.6L automatic Elantra, with urban commuting fuel consumption around 7.8L/100km. The most fuel-efficient scenario is driving on national highways at a steady speed of 60-80 km/h, where the displayed fuel consumption can drop to 5.9L/100km. Running the AC at full blast increases consumption by about 0.5L, and during summer traffic jams, it once peaked at 9.3L/100km. I recommend avoiding cheap gas from small stations as poor fuel quality actually increases consumption. Regularly clearing trunk clutter to reduce weight helps too - after removing two cases of bottled water, my fuel economy improved by 0.2L/100km. With its 52-liter tank, a full fill can easily cover 600 kilometers.
