What is the fuel consumption of the four-eyed Polo?
1 Answers
It depends on the driving distance and road conditions of the car owner. Generally, the shorter the distance and the more congested the road conditions, the higher the fuel consumption. For the old Polo 1.4 manual transmission, the urban fuel consumption is usually between 7.5 and 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers, while the automatic transmission consumes about 1 liter more. The main factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Insufficient tire pressure: Maintaining normal tire pressure is also a good way to reduce fuel consumption. If the tire pressure is insufficient, rolling resistance will greatly increase. According to tests, if the tire pressure is 2 psi (pressure unit: pounds per square foot) lower than the specified value, fuel consumption will increase by 1%. Additionally, tire misalignment or excessive wear may also increase fuel consumption. Low gear at high speed: Driving at low gear and high speed often occurs among novice drivers or distracted drivers. Some tests have shown that driving at high speed in 3rd gear over a long distance increases fuel consumption by 10% compared to normal driving in 4th gear. Moreover, using 2nd gear instead of 3rd gear will further increase fuel consumption.
