What is the fuel consumption of the old Tucson 2.0?
2 Answers
The old Tucson 2.0 has a fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100km, which is the official data. The fuel tank capacity of the old Tucson 2.0 is 52L, and the distance it can travel on a full tank is 52/6.2*100=838km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. The specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also tend to have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.
I drove the old Tucson 2.0 for several years. I remember the fuel consumption could reach 13 liters per 100 kilometers in city traffic jams, and drop to around 8 liters on the highway. Overall, it was slightly over 10 liters. If you step on the gas pedal aggressively, the fuel consumption would rise sharply. I usually prefer gentle starts and keep the speed within the limit; maintaining proper tire pressure can also save some fuel. Spending an extra hundred bucks on gas each month isn't a big deal. As the car aged, maintenance tasks like cleaning the throttle body and replacing spark plugs helped stabilize the fuel consumption. Overall, this car has good reliability, but you need to keep an eye on fuel expenses, especially with the current fluctuating fuel prices. If you want to save money, it really depends on your driving habits.
