What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 1.5L engine?
1 Answers
A sedan with a 1.5L engine typically has a fuel consumption of 6-8 liters per 100 kilometers. When driving on highways at a speed of around 90km/h, the fuel consumption is approximately 6.5L/100km. For combined city and suburban driving, the average fuel consumption is around 7.5 liters. Several factors affect a vehicle's fuel consumption, including engine technology tuning, individual driving habits, weather and road conditions, vehicle load, tire pressure, and vehicle maintenance. Here are some fuel-saving tips: 1. Maintain optimal RPM: For most fuel-injected cars, the ideal engine RPM range is between 2200-2500. Regardless of the gear, keep the engine RPM within this range. Too low RPM makes the car sluggish, wastes fuel without moving, and harms the engine; too high RPM increases unnecessary fuel consumption and also damages the engine. 2. Maintain optimal speed: The most fuel-efficient driving condition is steady, straight-line driving. The most fuel-efficient speed for small-displacement cars is between 60-80 km/h, while for medium-displacement cars, it's between 80-100 km/h. Driving at the economic speed saves the most fuel. 3. Control shift RPM and optimal gear: For manual transmission cars, slightly increase the throttle during gear shifts to let the tachometer reach just above 2500 RPM. Shifting below 2000 RPM causes the speed to drop further after shifting, creating a feeling of gear disengagement and requiring more throttle to compensate, which wastes more fuel.
