What is the fuel consumption of the MG EHS when the battery is depleted?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the MG EHS when the battery is depleted is 6.59 liters per kilometer. Fueling amount: Generally, filling until the pump automatically stops is sufficient. There's no need to round up to a whole number and manually add more. After refueling, remember to tighten the fuel tank cap until you hear a click before leaving. Checking the fuel gauge: Before driving, check the fuel gauge. Calculate whether you need to refuel during the trip based on the distance of your journey and the fuel gauge reading. It's advisable to refuel in advance rather than waiting until the fuel light comes on. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and operates at a high temperature when continuously working. Being submerged in fuel helps to cool it effectively. When the fuel light comes on, it indicates that the fuel level is below the fuel pump. Consistently waiting until the light comes on to refuel can shorten the fuel pump's lifespan, and having too little fuel in the tank may even cause the fuel pump to burn out. Best time to refuel: It's better to refuel in the morning or evening, avoiding the midday when the sun is strong and temperatures are high. Since gasoline is charged by volume rather than weight, it expands with heat and contracts with cold. Refueling in the morning or evening means that the same volume of gasoline will have a higher mass, saving you money.
I've been driving the MG EHS for over half a year. When the battery is low and in a depleted state, the engine kicks in to assist with driving, with fuel consumption generally fluctuating between 5.5 to 6.0 liters per 100 kilometers. During daily commutes in congested urban areas, it might be slightly higher, closer to 6.0, but on clear roads or highways, it can drop to around 5.6. There are quite a few factors affecting fuel consumption—my driving habits play a significant role. Rapid acceleration and hard braking can spike the fuel consumption, so I prefer smooth driving. Weather also has an impact; using air conditioning in summer increases the engine load slightly, raising fuel consumption. Additionally, regular vehicle maintenance, such as checking engine oil and tire pressure, helps save fuel. Overall, I find this car quite hassle-free, with reasonable fuel consumption even when the battery is depleted.
