What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 1.0 minivan?
2 Answers
A 1.0 minivan typically consumes slightly more than 7L per 100 kilometers under normal conditions. If it's a 1.0 microcar, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is generally around 6.5L. Below are the main factors affecting a car's fuel consumption: 1. Driver's driving habits: Apart from the car's design and engine factors, the driver's driving habits are the primary cause of fuel wastage. Frequent sudden braking and rapid acceleration are the biggest reasons for increased fuel consumption. 2. Road conditions: Road conditions include whether the road is smooth, the level of friction, the steepness of slopes, and whether there is traffic congestion. Generally, roads with many sharp turns and frequent use of brakes can significantly increase fuel consumption. Additionally, fuel consumption during severe traffic congestion can be more than three times that during smooth traffic. 3. Maintenance: Poorly maintained engines can see a 10% to 20% increase in fuel consumption, and a dirty air filter can also lead to a 10% increase in fuel consumption. To maintain the car's optimal performance, it is recommended to change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers and check the filters.
I drove a 1.0L Wuling Hongguang for three years delivering packages and tested the fuel consumption many times. In the city with frequent traffic jams and half a ton of cargo with AC on, it consumed 7-8 liters per 100 km. On suburban expressways with no load, it could drop to around 5.5 liters. The most fuel-efficient was driving at a steady 60 km/h on provincial roads, where I even achieved 4.9 liters. But climbing mountain roads or using AC the whole time would push it above 7 liters. If carrying heavy loads, I recommend installing a tire pressure monitor—a 0.5 difference in tire pressure can waste nearly 1 liter more fuel.
