What is the fuel consumption of the old Jetta?
2 Answers
Old Jetta's fuel consumption is around 7.5 liters. Methods to reduce fuel consumption and influencing factors are introduced as follows: Methods to reduce fuel consumption: You can add fuel additives to the fuel tank to improve combustion and remove carbon deposits. It is recommended to regularly inspect and maintain the vehicle, clean or replace the three filters, which will reduce fuel consumption. At the same time, the longer the idling time when parked, the greater the fuel consumption, so try to minimize idling parking time; and it is necessary to avoid rapid acceleration, stepping on the throttle hard and driving the car at lower speeds. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various working conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking and engine idling, as well as load capacity, temperature and whether the air conditioning is turned on, will all affect the car's fuel consumption.
I've been driving an old Jetta for over a decade. In city driving, it typically consumes around 9 liters per 100 kilometers, dropping to 7 liters on the highway, which is quite stable. My car is an early 2000s 1.6L manual transmission model. Over the years, I've noticed that fuel consumption is closely related to maintenance—for example, if the tire pressure is low or the engine oil isn't changed on time, the fuel consumption can spike to 11 liters. Don't underestimate these small details. Driving at a steady speed and braking less, along with cleaning carbon deposits, can save a lot of fuel. The old Jetta isn't the most fuel-efficient, but its simple structure makes it easy to maintain and hassle-free to drive. I still use it for occasional trips—it's much more economical than a new car. Overall, with normal driving, fuel consumption ranges between 8 to 10 liters.
