What is the fuel consumption of the Mercedes-Benz SLK200?

[DeErin]

The official fuel consumption data provided for the Mercedes-Benz SLK200 is 8.6L per 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain distance at a specific speed. It is a theoretical indicator for the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value obtained by manufacturers in an objective environment, using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis to measure and convert into speed parameters, then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the model at specified speeds. Improper driving habits: The amount of fuel consumption is closely related to the driver's personal habits, specifically manifested in not turning off the engine during prolonged idling or frequent ignition, aggressive acceleration or frequent braking while driving, driving at low gear with high speed or high gear with low speed, etc. All these driving habits significantly 'contribute' to increased fuel consumption. Abnormal tire pressure and tire wear: If the tire pressure is too low, the friction between the tires and the ground increases, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. The normal tire pressure is around 2.5bar, which can be slightly reduced by 0.1bar in summer. Of course, tire pressure should not be too high either; it's best to inflate according to the vehicle's standard values. Additionally, if the tires are severely worn, frequent slipping will occur, also increasing fuel consumption. Fuel quality and carbon deposits: Many car owners do not pay attention to fuel quality. Poor-quality gasoline can lead to increased carbon deposits, which roughen the intake pipe walls, affecting the intake efficiency and the quality of the air-fuel mixture, causing a sharp rise in fuel consumption. Therefore, gasoline quality cannot be ignored. Regular maintenance at a 4S shop is a forward-looking investment, not only ensuring the normal performance of the vehicle but also saving unnecessary expenses in the future.
