What is the fuel consumption per kilometer for the Mustang?

The Mustang currently has 4 models on sale: Mustang-2021-2.3L-EcoBoost, Mustang-2021-2.3L-EcoBoost-Black Shadow Special Edition, Mustang-2021-2.3L-EcoBoost-Performance Advanced Edition, and Mustang-2021-2.3L-EcoBoost-Limited Edition. The model equipped with a 299 horsepower engine has an NEDC fuel consumption of 10.3L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity varies among different Mustang models. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the model with a 299 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 58.9L. With a full tank, it can travel approximately 58.9/10.3*100=572km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five main factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching a red light can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger engines typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the vehicle's resistance, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.
The fuel consumption of a Mustang depends on the specific model and driving habits. Based on my experience driving a Mustang, the EcoBoost 2.3T version consumes approximately 8-10 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving, which translates to about 0.08 to 0.1 liters per kilometer, equivalent to 8-9 cents per kilometer in fuel costs. The V8 GT version is even more powerful, with fuel consumption rising to 12-15L/100km, or 0.12-0.15 liters per kilometer, easily exceeding 11 cents per kilometer in fuel expenses. Fuel consumption decreases on highways due to reduced wind resistance, but rapid acceleration or traffic congestion can cause the numbers to spike. It is recommended to use Eco mode, maintain steady RPM, and reduce unnecessary lane changes to save fuel. If you're buying a new car, don't just focus on performance—consider your budget as well.
I've been driving the Mustang V8 for a while now, and honestly, the fuel consumption isn't low. In the city, it consumes about 0.14 liters per kilometer, and a full tank lasts around 300 to 400 kilometers before needing a refill. Official data shows an average of 12 liters per 100 kilometers, which works out to about 12 cents per kilometer in fuel costs, but if you step on the gas harder, it can go up to 0.17 liters. I've tried driving gently, and the fuel consumption can drop by 5%, such as using cruise control and braking less. Money-saving tips: keep the tire pressure higher and maintain the air filter regularly—these can help reduce fuel expenses. Overall, the Mustang is a blast to drive, and spending a bit more on fuel can be considered entertainment expenses.
