New Transit fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 8.7L/100km. How to calculate car fuel consumption: Fill up the car's gasoline tank completely and reset the odometer to zero. After driving for a period of time, refill the tank and note how many liters of gasoline were added. Then, divide the amount of gasoline added by the distance traveled to get the fuel consumption per kilometer. Reasons for high fuel consumption: The driver's skill level, improper gear shifting and excessive braking during driving can artificially increase engine power loss. Frequent braking also leads to more starts, as fuel consumption rate is very high during acceleration. Driving at low temperatures: cars require the engine to operate at normal temperatures. If driving starts without proper warm-up, the engine remains at low temperature, resulting in poor fuel atomization and incomplete combustion.

I bought a new Transit petrol version a few months ago as a work vehicle, mainly for urban deliveries. The average fuel consumption is around 12 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, dropping to about 10 liters on the highway. The vehicle has ample power, but the higher fuel consumption is mainly due to city traffic jams and frequent stops and starts, especially when carrying some cargo load, making it harder to save fuel. I previously recorded fuel expenses, and a full tank only lasts about 500 kilometers, which is significantly higher than the diesel version. I recommend avoiding aggressive acceleration, maintaining a steady speed of 60-80 km/h, and regularly checking tire pressure—too low pressure increases friction and fuel consumption. During maintenance, replacing the air filter with a better-quality one can improve engine efficiency and help save some money. For long trips, consider planning routes to avoid congested areas.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I'm quite particular about cars. The fuel consumption of the new Transit petrol version typically ranges from 11 to 14 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on your driving style and road conditions. Having driven it multiple times myself, I've noticed that sudden braking or full load can cause fuel consumption to spike; conversely, smooth driving and highway cruising can bring it down to around 10 liters. Factors affecting fuel consumption include the performance-oriented engine tuning, the vehicle's substantial weight, and its aerodynamic design. For long-term use, it's important to pay attention to maintenance, such as regular oil changes and fuel system cleaning to prevent carbon buildup, which can make the engine consume more fuel. The cost of urban commuting is high, so it's advisable to discuss with the dealership whether there's an eco-mode optimization available.

I drive the new Transit petrol version for business every day, with fuel consumption fluctuating around 12 liters per 100 km. In the city with many traffic lights, it can go up to 13 liters, while on the highway it easily drops to 10 liters. Driving slowly and accelerating aggressively consume the most fuel, and the vehicle's weight and high load also take a toll. I suggest you simply record the mileage each time you refuel to save hassle. Changing to better tires and reducing wind resistance with small tricks can also save a bit. Don't forget to check tire pressure for long trips.
