What is the fuel consumption of the Epica 2.0?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Epica 2.0 is 9-10L/100KM. Factors affecting fuel consumption: The driver's habits, road conditions, the weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period, among other factors, can all affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Ways to reduce fuel consumption: Start in a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed; avoid prolonged idling or driving at low speeds; avoid overloading the vehicle and keeping the fuel tank full; avoid using high-viscosity engine oil; try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brake, and apply the brake slowly when necessary.
I've been driving my Epica 2.0 for five years, mainly for commuting in the city, with an average fuel consumption of around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways, it drops to about 8.5 liters, averaging just over 9 liters overall. The impact is significant—for example, during traffic jams, fuel consumption can spike to 12 liters, and using the AC in hot weather adds another 1-2 liters. For maintenance, I check tire pressure monthly and replace the air filter quarterly, which can reduce consumption by about 0.8 liters. Driving habits are the most crucial—gentle acceleration and avoiding sudden braking help keep fuel consumption under control. Overall, the car's fuel efficiency is quite manageable, and with proper daily maintenance, there's no need to worry about wasting money on gas.
