What is the fuel consumption of the Transit?
2 Answers
The average fuel consumption of the Transit is 10.0 liters per 100 kilometers. Spark plug failure: The function of a car's spark plug is to ignite the air-fuel mixture with the electric spark generated by high voltage. If damaged, it will reduce the ignition energy, causing uneven combustion of the mixture, which leads to slower acceleration and increased fuel consumption. At this point, it is necessary to promptly inspect and replace the spark plugs. Engine carbon deposits: During long-term operation of the vehicle, gasoline inevitably produces carbon deposits and sludge during combustion. If these deposits and sludge are not cleaned in time, they will lead to increased fuel consumption. Therefore, timely cleaning of engine carbon deposits is also very important.
I've been driving a Transit for deliveries for years, and fuel consumption is definitely not a fixed value—it depends on how and when you drive. My 2.2T diesel model easily hits 12 liters per 100 km in city traffic, but it’s much more efficient on the highway, dropping to around 7.5 liters. On average, the combined fuel consumption ranges between 8.5 to 10 liters. Many factors affect it: heavier loads spike fuel usage, while empty runs can dip to 7 liters. Driving habits matter too—sudden acceleration or heavy throttle wastes fuel, so I rely on cruise control to maintain steady speed. Road conditions also play a role; hilly terrain increases consumption. Regular maintenance helps—changing air filters and oil, keeping tires properly inflated—these small steps save hundreds in fuel annually. Overall, the Transit is durable, but don’t expect it to be as frugal as a compact car.
