What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the gasoline-powered Avalon?
3 Answers
The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the gasoline-powered Avalon is 5.2 liters in suburban areas and 7.0 liters in urban areas. Below are the fuel consumption calculation formula and fuel-saving tips: Correct fuel consumption calculation formula: Fuel consumed ÷ Distance traveled × 100 = Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The data on fuel consumed is relatively difficult to obtain. Generally, a full tank is used as the initial data. After traveling a certain distance, the tank is refilled, and the fuel amount provided by the gas station is taken as the final data. Fuel-saving tips: The fuel consumed during idling for over 1 minute is equivalent to the fuel used for one start. The fuel consumption for 5 minutes of engine idling can allow the car to travel over 1 kilometer.
I've been driving this Camry 2.5L gasoline version for almost three years. In city driving, it typically consumes between 8.5 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, but during rush hour traffic jams, it can spike to over 10 liters. Highway driving is much more fuel-efficient; with cruise control set at 120 km/h, the dashboard shows around 6.5 liters, and the lowest I've recorded is 6.2 liters. Actually, fuel consumption largely depends on driving habits—my wife drives the same model but consistently uses 1 liter more than me because she tends to accelerate and brake abruptly. I always do regular maintenance on time, and changing the air filter does help reduce fuel consumption a bit. Using the AC in summer adds about 0.8 liters to the consumption. The 70-liter fuel tank is sufficient for long trips.
Observing the fuel consumption of the Avalon during this period has been quite interesting. For city commuting, the average is around 9 liters, while highway cruising remains stable at 6.8 liters. On one occasion, after driving 800 kilometers continuously on the highway with the air conditioning on, the fuel consumption surprisingly dropped to 6.2 liters. The car is equipped with an automatic start-stop system, but I don't use it much as I feel it offers limited fuel-saving benefits and instead affects the driving experience. I've particularly noticed the impact of tire pressure; the manufacturer recommends 2.4 bar for optimal fuel efficiency, and when it drops to 2.0 bar, fuel consumption increases by about 7%. Gasoline quality also plays a role, with 95-octane allowing for longer distances compared to 92-octane.
