What is the fuel consumption of the Ford Explorer 2.3t?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Ford Explorer 2.3t is 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers. There are many factors that affect actual fuel consumption, and the actual comprehensive fuel consumption should be based on real driving conditions. Methods to determine fuel consumption: You can judge the fuel consumption through the car's dashboard, where F=full (represents full) and E=empty (represents empty). When the fuel tank's red light comes on, record the mileage, then note how much fuel is added. When the fuel is next exhausted, record the mileage again. Subtract the initially recorded 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. Relatively speaking, 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 important factors affecting fuel consumption. Among cars with the same displacement, the more advanced the engine technology, the more fuel-efficient the car will be.
When driving the Ford Explorer 2.3T, I think fuel consumption depends on the situation. For my daily city commute during rush hours with heavy traffic, the fuel consumption is usually around 11-13 liters per 100 km. On weekends when I take the highway, it's much better—cruising at 100-110 km/h brings it down to 8.5-9 liters. Running the AC in summer adds about 1 liter, and cold starts in winter also increase consumption. If the car is fully loaded with passengers or the trunk is packed with luggage, the fuel consumption noticeably goes up. The tank holds 73 liters, giving me over 500 km in the city and 700+ km on the highway per fill-up. For fuel-saving tips, I’ve found that avoiding hard braking, not flooring the accelerator, and regular maintenance (like oil changes) help keep the engine efficient.
