What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Jetta 1.4L manual transmission?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the new Jetta 1.4L manual transmission model is 5.7 liters. The following factors affect fuel consumption: 1. Whether the air conditioning is used, as using it consumes more fuel; 2. Driving conditions, maintaining a steady speed and economical RPM is the most fuel-efficient; 3. Vehicle weight, lighter vehicles are more fuel-efficient; 4. Electrical load, higher electrical usage increases generator magnetic resistance; 5. Driving habits, frequent braking is not fuel-efficient; 6. Engine temperature, around 70 degrees is optimal. If too low, the oil viscosity increases, reducing lubrication. If too high, oil adhesion decreases, reducing lubrication, and the cooling fan consumes electricity, which in turn consumes more fuel; 7. Oil performance, better oil performance leads to better fuel efficiency; 8. Tire resistance, wider tires have greater resistance, and under-inflated tires also increase resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Jetta 1.4L manual transmission for over ten years, with an average fuel consumption around 6 liters. In city traffic jams, the consumption can rise to 7 liters, while maintaining a steady speed on the highway easily brings it down to 5 liters. In actual driving, keeping gear shifts below 2000 RPM, avoiding sudden acceleration, and developing a habit of gentle braking can help save fuel. Additionally, regular maintenance like air filter replacement and oil changes can also improve fuel efficiency. My car now performs stably, and keeping monthly fuel expenses under 500 yuan is quite reasonable. It's advisable to monitor tire pressure, maintaining it around 2.3 for both safety and fuel economy. Overall, the Jetta is suitable for commuting; its fuel consumption isn't particularly high but largely depends on how you drive it.
