What is the fuel consumption of the new Transit gasoline version?
2 Answers
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.
