What is the fuel consumption per kilometer for the Discovery 3?
2 Answers
The Discovery 3 has a fuel consumption of 17.31L/100km. Therefore, the fuel consumption per kilometer is 0.1731L. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: Maintain normal tire pressure levels: If the tire pressure is insufficient, rolling resistance will significantly increase. According to tests, if the tire pressure is 2psi (pressure unit: pounds per square foot) below the specified value, fuel consumption will increase by 1%. Repair faults promptly: Abnormalities in the engine ignition system also have a significant impact on fuel consumption. Issues such as inaccurate ignition timing, leaking high-voltage wires, and spark plug carbon deposits causing weak ignition can all reduce engine combustion efficiency and increase fuel consumption.
For those experienced Discovery 3 drivers with a few years under their belt, let me share my thoughts. Mine is the 4.4L V8 petrol version, averaging 15-18L/100km in city commuting, dropping to around 12L on highways. That translates to roughly 1.3-1.5 yuan per kilometer – big displacement comes with old-school thirst. In owner circles, diesel versions generally fare better, with city consumption around 11L/100km. The most shocking moment? A desert off-road trip in Inner Mongolia saw the instant fuel gauge hit 35L – my wallet wept at the next fill-up. With these high-displacement SUVs, mentally prepare yourself: watching the fuel gauge visibly drop during AC-heavy city traffic jams means far more frequent refueling than compact cars.
