What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 2005 Mondeo automatic transmission?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 2005 Mondeo automatic transmission is approximately 13 liters. Here is some information about fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. 2. Source: In an objective environment, the value measured by a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis is converted into speed parameters, and then the vehicle is driven at a specified speed to calculate the theoretical experimental fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the model. Here is some information about automatic transmission: 1. Automatic transmission: It usually refers to the automatic gear-shifting mechanism of a car. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. 2. Classification: Generally, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. The most commonly used automatic gear positions are parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D.
Back when I drove the 2005 Mondeo automatic, I remember the average fuel consumption was between 11 to 13 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on road conditions. In city traffic jams, it could spike to over 15 liters, especially with the AC on in summer or when carrying heavy loads—that really guzzled fuel. On the highway, keeping a steady pace could bring it down to around 9 liters. The car had a 4-cylinder engine, not particularly fuel-efficient, and the aging transmission was slow to respond, so frequent hard acceleration for overtaking pushed the consumption up. I think driving habits matter a lot—gentler braking and smoother acceleration can save some fuel. As the car aged, component wear (like worn spark plugs or a dirty air filter) also increased consumption. Overall, real-world mileage varied widely. I’d advise longtime owners to stick to regular maintenance and check tire pressure to keep things within reasonable limits—at least then it won’t get outrageous.
