What is the normal fuel consumption for a 2.0L engine?

2.0L engine's comprehensive fuel consumption (one-third urban congestion, one-third suburban roads, one-third highway) is generally 9.5-11.5L. Here is the relevant introduction about fuel consumption: Introduction: Constant-Speed Fuel Economy refers to the fuel economy indicator when a vehicle travels at a constant speed on good road surfaces. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for vehicles on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the 90Km/h and 120Km/h constant-speed fuel consumption as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator. Fuel consumption test: Special personnel select test routes and use a specially marked fuel tank to run a 100-kilometer round trip (accelerating fuel consumption can be calculated, but coasting is not allowed), then divide by two to calculate the actual constant-speed fuel consumption per 100 kilometers.
As a veteran driver with twenty years of experience, I've driven quite a few 2.0L displacement cars. On the highway, fuel consumption is generally around 6-7 liters per 100 km, while in congested city traffic, it can exceed 10 liters. Overall, a combined consumption of 8-10 liters is considered normal. The specific figures depend on the car model—more fuel-efficient models like the Japanese Accord can stay just above 8 liters, while German models like the Magotan might reach over 9 liters. Driving habits play a significant role, especially avoiding overly aggressive throttle inputs. I once drove an older Mondeo, and delayed maintenance increased fuel consumption by about 2 liters—timely air filter and oil changes are crucial. Running the AC in summer also adds roughly 1 liter to the fuel consumption, something seasoned car owners are well aware of.
I usually enjoy analyzing car data, so let me talk about the fuel consumption of 2.0L engines. For sedans, a combined consumption of 8-9 liters is quite common, and it's not unusual to see 11 liters in city driving. SUVs, with their higher drag coefficient and heavier body, tend to consume more fuel, generally ranging between 9-12 liters. Recently, I tested my newly purchased CR-V: on the highway with cruise control, it was just 7.8 liters, but in the city, it jumped straight to 10.5 liters. The most fuel-consuming scenario seems to be stop-and-go traffic at red lights, where frequent engine starts and stops are particularly thirsty. Running the AC increases fuel consumption by 0.5 to 1 liter, depending on the AC's efficiency. Friends who often drive on highways tend to have better fuel economy control.
