What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Tianlong Flagship?
2 Answers
30L per 100 kilometers is the norm, while 28L/27L/26L can also be easily achieved. The specific fuel consumption may vary depending on the vehicle condition and the driver's habits. How to calculate fuel consumption: By resetting the mileage data on the vehicle dashboard, the onboard computer automatically calculates the fuel consumption based on the recorded mileage and fuel consumption data. Definition of constant-speed fuel consumption: Constant-speed fuel consumption is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. During road tests, it is necessary to follow the standards for test conditions, test methods, and test road selection as specified in the national standards. Test conditions include: the load of the test vehicle, the accuracy of the test instruments, fuel, tire selection, ambient temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, etc.
I've been driving the Dongfeng Tianlong Flagship for long-haul trips, with a fuel consumption typically ranging between 30 to 35 liters per 100 kilometers. As an experienced driver, load significantly impacts consumption: when lightly loaded or empty, I can keep it around 28 liters, but a full load on the highway can push it up to 38 liters. Maintaining a steady speed on flat roads is fuel-efficient, with the most economical speed being under 80 km/h. Poor road conditions like steep mountain roads can unexpectedly increase consumption to 40 liters. Driving habits are crucial; I always ease on the throttle and brakes, and regularly change the engine oil and air filters, which saves a lot on fuel. Once, I hauled goods to another province and averaged 32 liters, which was quite satisfactory. Remember to check tire pressure, as insufficient pressure leads to higher fuel consumption.
