What is the fuel consumption on highways and ordinary roads?
1 Answers
Highway fuel consumption varies depending on factors such as engine displacement and driving speed. Generally, for most sedan models, driving at 100 km/h on highways consumes about 6-10 liters per 100 kilometers. On urban roads, fuel consumption tends to be higher, averaging around 7-14L per 100 kilometers on ordinary roads, which is also influenced by individual driving habits. Below are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Maintain proper tire pressure: The normal tire pressure range is usually between 2.3-2.5 bar. If the tire pressure is lower than this range, the increased contact area between the tire and the road surface results in greater friction resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. Regular vehicle maintenance: Timely maintenance ensures proper lubrication of the powertrain system by the engine oil and helps detect potential vehicle issues early, reducing carbon buildup, which in turn aids in lowering fuel consumption.
