What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the Hongqi H5?

The Hongqi H5 has a total of 6 models on sale. Among them, the Hongqi H5-2022-1.8T-Automatic Zhilian Qiling Edition, Zhilian Qichang Edition, Revised-1.8T-Automatic Zhilian Qixiang Edition, and Revised-1.8T-Automatic Zhilian Qiyun Edition, equipped with a 197 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.4L per 100 kilometers. The Hongqi H5-2022 Revised-1.5T-DCT Qiyun Edition and 1.5-DCT Qiyue Edition, equipped with a 169 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of different Hongqi H5 models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 197 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 65L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 65/6.4*100=1015km. Models equipped with a 169 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 65L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 65/6.2*100=1048km. 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 a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Rough 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 greater 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 temperature is low during a cold start, the injected gasoline is not easily atomized, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the car to warm up at higher RPMs, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Hongqi H5 for over a year, mostly in city traffic and highways with frequent stops and starts. The fuel consumption is generally around 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, but it can spike above 9 liters when driving aggressively. However, if I use cruise control carefully, it can drop to 6.5 liters. The car is equipped with a 1.5T engine, which provides quick acceleration but consumes more fuel in traffic jams. I have to keep an eye on the fuel gauge and my driving habits, such as avoiding sudden braking or hard acceleration. I've also noticed that insufficient tire pressure can increase fuel consumption. Regular maintenance checks can save both money and hassle, and the monthly fuel cost of around 400 to 500 yuan is quite reasonable.
