What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Bora 1.5 manual?

The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Bora 1.5 manual is 5.8L. Definition of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain speed on the road for 100 kilometers. It is a theoretical indicator for vehicles. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by manufacturers in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated under specified speed conditions to determine the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the model. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Incorrect driving can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times. Poor driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and braking are the most common issues. Rough roads increase fuel consumption. Poor road conditions or uneven surfaces force the vehicle to operate in lower gears for extended periods, inevitably increasing fuel consumption. Neglecting maintenance can also increase fuel consumption. Many car owners lack automotive knowledge and limit vehicle maintenance to keeping it clean, often overlooking other aspects. For example, wheel bearings should be lubricated regularly, but some owners are unaware until the bearings wear out. Insufficient lubrication of wheel bearings increases friction, leading to higher fuel consumption. If the brakes do not release properly, causing the brake pads to rub against the brake drum while driving, fuel consumption will naturally increase. Improper wheel alignment, resulting in abnormal tire wear, is another cause of increased fuel consumption.
Driving a Bora 1.5L manual transmission, I believe fuel consumption should be analyzed case by case. The official data claims an average of about 5.8L per 100km, but in reality, I've seen it spike to 7L in city traffic jams, while dropping to 5.5L on highways is normal. There are too many factors affecting fuel efficiency - I often notice new drivers wasting an extra liter through sudden acceleration or frequent braking. Regular maintenance like oil changes and tire pressure adjustments can save some fuel too; maintaining an average of 6.2L is quite decent. If you ignore these details, spending thousands more on fuel annually wouldn't be surprising. Ultimately, maintaining steady speed and minimizing AC use are fuel-saving secrets. For daily driving, I recommend trying eco mode - don't underestimate those fractional differences.
