What is the fuel consumption of the Isuzu 2.8T diesel engine?
2 Answers
Cars equipped with this engine typically consume around 12 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. The reasons for increased fuel consumption and methods to reduce it are as follows: Reasons: Fuel consumption fluctuations due to temperature changes, lack of regular vehicle maintenance, prolonged use of spark plugs, etc. Methods: Start the vehicle slowly; during the starting process, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Apply gentle acceleration and braking, brake early, maintain proper tire pressure, regularly organize the trunk to reduce weight. Perform regular vehicle maintenance or inspections; regular oil changes can reduce carbon buildup; periodically check the air filter, fuel injectors, and spark plugs. Clean or replace the throttle body according to the mileage.
I've been driving an Isuzu 2.8T diesel model for three years, with fuel consumption typically ranging between 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. In congested city traffic, it can rise to around 11 liters. On long highway trips with steady driving, it can be controlled to approximately 7.5 liters. The biggest factor affecting fuel consumption is driving habits—sudden acceleration and frequent braking can cause the numbers to soar. Additionally, heavier vehicle loads also increase fuel consumption; for instance, when I carry cargo, it can add an extra 1 to 2 liters. Regular engine maintenance and air filter replacements help keep fuel consumption within a reasonable range, which is crucial for saving money. Diesel engines are much more economical than gasoline vehicles, but seasonal changes should be noted, as startup fuel consumption is slightly higher in winter. Driving such a vehicle requires learning gentle handling, otherwise, the wallet will suffer.
