What is the fuel consumption of the Land Cruiser?
2 Answers
The Land Cruiser has a fuel consumption of 13.3L per 100 kilometers, which is the official data. The fuel tank capacity of the Land Cruiser is 138L. With a full tank, it can travel a distance of 138/13.3*100=1037km. 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 fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel 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 is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during a cold start, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Land Cruiser for several years and noticed its fuel consumption is indeed quite high, especially in city traffic jams. On average, the urban fuel consumption is around 16 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway it can drop to 13 liters. This car is equipped with a large-displacement V8 engine, it's heavy, and has significant air resistance, so it burns fuel quickly as soon as it starts. When using air conditioning or fully loaded with luggage, the fuel consumption can rise to over 18 liters, which has a considerable impact. I believe to save fuel, good habits must be developed, such as avoiding sudden acceleration, braking gently, and regularly checking tire pressure. After all, fuel costs make up a significant part of the expenses, adding several hundred yuan more per month. But considering its off-road performance and reliability, I'm quite satisfied—during long trips, it can handle muddy roads well, making the fuel consumption worth it.
