What is the fuel consumption of the Peugeot 308?
2 Answers
The data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows urban fuel consumption at 10.7L, highway at 5.8L, and combined at 7.6L. Feedback from car owners varies widely, ranging from 7L to 20L. On highways, it's generally 6L-7L per 100 kilometers, while in urban areas, it's 9.6L-11L. However, it's recommended not to use automatic transmission in urban areas; instead, using manual mode in a semi-automatic transmission can save some fuel. The reasons for high fuel consumption in cars are as follows: Reason one: Poor driving skills. The same car driven by different people will have different fuel consumption. Only by summarizing experience and improving driving skills can the high fuel consumption caused by poor driving be resolved. Reason two: Issues with the spark plugs or high-voltage wires in gasoline cars, causing abnormal ignition circuits. This can be fixed by repairing or replacing the parts to reduce fuel consumption. Reason three: Problems with the braking system, such as brake pads not retracting, increasing driving resistance. This can be resolved by repairing to restore and lower fuel consumption. Reason four: Blocked fuel lines or carbon buildup. Using fuel system cleaner to clean the fuel injectors and throttle body can reduce fuel consumption. Reason five: Dirty air filter causing poor airflow, leading to incorrect fuel-air mixture. Replacing the filter can solve this. Reason six: High temperatures and humidity in summer seasonally increase fuel consumption. Reason seven: High driving speed and heavy car load result in higher fuel consumption. Reason eight: Poor-quality gasoline that doesn't meet standards leads to higher fuel consumption.
I once drove a Peugeot 308 for a while, with city fuel consumption around 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, which could drop to about 6 liters on highways. But honestly, fuel consumption really varies from person to person. For example, I usually prefer smooth acceleration and try to avoid sudden braking in traffic jams, which saved me a lot on fuel costs over a year. If you frequently drive short distances or in hilly areas, consumption might rise to 11 liters. Vehicle condition is also crucial—like regularly checking tire pressure and changing engine oil, which helped stabilize my fuel consumption after maintaining standard values. I’d suggest new car owners try different driving modes, such as controlling speed in eco mode, to effectively avoid waste. With fuel prices rising fast, these small details can save you hundreds annually. In short, don’t just focus on official data; fine-tuning habits in real-world driving makes the difference.
