What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Chevrolet Epica?
1 Answers
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) provides a comprehensive fuel consumption range of 7.5-8.6L per 100 kilometers for the Chevrolet Epica, while the actual measured average fuel consumption is 9.04-10.83L per 100 kilometers. The Chevrolet Epica is equipped with a 1.8L+5MT/6AT powertrain, which, although not particularly powerful, offers good fuel economy. The reasons for increased fuel consumption are as follows: Tire Pressure: Tire pressure indeed affects vehicle fuel consumption. Lower tire pressure results in flatter tires, increasing rolling resistance and thereby raising fuel consumption. Dirty Engine Oil and Transmission Fluid: Engine oil and transmission fluid play a lubricating role in the engine and transmission, respectively. Over time, they inevitably become dirty. Dirty oil and transmission fluid reduce lubrication efficiency, causing the engine and transmission to consume more energy during operation, thus increasing fuel consumption. Carbon Deposits: Carbon deposits can be considered the "root of all evil," as many engine malfunctions are caused by them. Carbon deposits in the engine reduce engine power, leading to increased fuel consumption. Additionally, phenomena such as engine shaking, noise, and knocking are closely related to carbon deposits.
