What is the fuel consumption of the Ford Mustang 5.0 version per 100 kilometers?
2 Answers
Ford Mustang 5.0 has a fuel consumption of 12.2L per 100 kilometers, which is the official data. The fuel tank capacity of the Ford Mustang 5.0 is 58.9L, and the distance it can travel on a full tank is 58.9/12.2*100=482km. 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 a car's 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 higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during cold starts does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
Having driven the Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 for several years, I must say its fuel consumption in the city is quite high, guzzling 14 to 16 liters per 100 kilometers, and even more exaggeratedly rising to 18 liters in traffic jams. On the highway, it's a bit more economical, around 9 to 11 liters. Once, during a highway trip from Shanghai to Hangzhou, cruising at about 80 km/h, the fuel consumption dropped to around 10 liters. But during daily commutes stuck in city traffic, the fuel gauge drops rapidly. Driving habits have a significant impact: aggressive acceleration from a standstill can immediately add 2 liters to the consumption, while smooth driving can save about 15%. It's even more fuel-consuming during cold starts in winter and when using the air conditioning, especially on short trips. The car's V8 engine is powerful with an enticing roar, but fuel costs can take up a significant portion of monthly expenses. For those frequently driving in the city, it's advisable to use lightweight engine oil and regularly maintain the filters to slightly reduce fuel consumption, but overall, it's still a wallet burner.
