What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for Wuling Rongguang?
2 Answers
Wuling Rongguang is equipped with a 99-horsepower engine, with an official fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of Wuling Rongguang is 45L, and the distance it can travel on a full tank is 45/6.9*100=652km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is harder to vaporize during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to burn, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine control unit may use higher RPMs to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.
As a seasoned driver with two years of experience behind the wheel of a Wuling Rongguang, my 1.2L displacement vehicle is primarily used for hauling goods in urban-rural fringe areas. In summer with the AC on, it averages around 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers, while in winter without AC, it drops to about 7.8 liters. The most fuel-efficient instance was during a long-distance highway trip with an empty load, maintaining a steady speed of 80 km/h, where the dashboard showed just 7.2 liters. Fuel consumption largely depends on driving habits—frequent hard acceleration or overloading can easily push it above 9 liters per 100 km. Details like tire pressure and oil viscosity also affect fuel efficiency. I perform basic maintenance monthly, as saving fuel means saving money. For new cars in the break-in period, the first two fuel tanks might show higher consumption, but it stabilizes after running 3,000 kilometers.
