2 Answers
The George Patton has a fuel consumption of around 25 liters. Taking the 2018 George Patton as an example, it is a large SUV with the following dimensions: length 5930mm, width 2537mm, height 2145mm, wheelbase 3584mm, and a curb weight of 3450kg. The 2018 George Patton features an independent double-wishbone front suspension and a solid axle non-independent rear suspension. It adopts a front-engine four-wheel-drive layout, equipped with a 3.5T turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 435PS, a maximum torque of 723Nm, and a maximum power of 320kW. It is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the George Patton for a while now, and this vehicle's fuel consumption is no joke. In the city, it burns around 28 liters per 100 kilometers, and even on the highway, it's about 24 liters. Filling up that massive tank frequently really hurts the wallet. The high fuel consumption is mainly due to its weight exceeding 3 tons and that large-displacement V8 engine—it drives with authority but guzzles fuel. I've tried adjusting my driving habits, like avoiding sudden braking and easing on the accelerator, which helps a bit but not much. Turning on the AC in summer pushes the fuel consumption even higher. Friends joke that it's a gas guzzler, but I think the safety and off-road capabilities make it worth it. Before budgeting for this car, you'd better calculate fuel costs carefully—otherwise, daily city commuting will burn a hole in your pocket. Regular maintenance like changing the air filter and checking tire pressure can help slightly reduce fuel consumption, but overall, it's a high-cost indulgence.
