What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Wuling Rongguang 1.2?
2 Answers
The Wuling Rongguang 1.2 is equipped with a 99-horsepower engine, with an official fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Rongguang 1.2 is 45L. With a full tank, it can travel approximately 45/6.9*100=652km. There are five main factors that directly affect a car's fuel consumption: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching a red light can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger engines typically produce more power and require more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also tend to have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up the car in cold temperatures, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Wuling Rongguang 1.2 for over three years, mainly hauling small goods around the city. The fuel consumption is quite reasonable - with AC on during summer traffic jams, it peaks at 8.5L/100km, while in spring/autumn with good road conditions it drops to around 7L. I maintain steady driving habits, rarely brake or accelerate abruptly, check tire pressure monthly, and keep the trunk clear of unnecessary items. Highway driving empty is most fuel-efficient - maintaining 80km/h cruise control consumes about 6.3L. Last trip to my hometown fully loaded with five people and luggage saw mountain road consumption exceed 9L. I recommend installing a fuel monitoring app - tracking your own driving for a month gives clear data, especially since fuel costs now dominate vehicle maintenance expenses - every bit saved counts.
