What is the fuel consumption of the Passat 330?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Passat 330 is 9.64L/100km. Here are the specific factors that affect fuel consumption: Vehicle condition: In addition to paying attention to car cleanliness, it is necessary to monitor the vehicle's status, perform regular maintenance and timely repairs. Driving habits: Poor driving habits can waste fuel imperceptibly, such as carrying too much unnecessary load in the vehicle, opening windows while driving at high speeds, sudden acceleration and hard braking, all of which can lead to increased fuel consumption. Road conditions: Driving in urban traffic conditions can increase fuel consumption by 20% compared to test track conditions, mainly due to frequent starts, stops at traffic lights, gear shifting, acceleration and deceleration, which result in higher fuel consumption.
My Passat 330 has been running for over two years with a combined fuel consumption around 7L/100km. In city driving during traffic jams, it can rise above 9L/100km, consuming noticeably more on routes with frequent traffic lights. On highways at a steady 100km/h, it easily drops to just over 6L/100km. Weighing about 1.5 tons with an efficient 2.0T engine and low aerodynamic drag contributes to its fuel efficiency. My daily commute averages 7.5L/100km, saving 1-2L compared to similar SUVs. More frequent maintenance helps stabilize fuel consumption after each oil change, and keeping tire pressure at standard levels is crucial. Driving habits significantly impact fuel economy: avoiding sudden acceleration, smooth starts, and anticipating deceleration can control fuel costs. Overall, it feels economical – driving it doesn’t make me worry about fuel expenses.
