What is the normal fuel consumption for the 10th-generation Civic?
3 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption for the 10th-generation Civic is 5.4-6 liters per 100 kilometers. Fuel consumption calculation formula: Fuel consumed ÷ Distance traveled × 100 = Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The data on fuel consumed is relatively difficult to obtain. Generally, a full tank is used as the initial data. After driving a certain distance, the tank is refilled to full, and the fuel amount provided by the gas station is taken as the accurate measurement. Tips to reduce fuel consumption: The economic speed is the speed at which the car consumes the least fuel when driving in direct drive or overdrive. When a car is driven on the same road, different speeds result in different fuel consumption. Therefore, there is a specific speed at which fuel consumption is the lowest. Thus, the car should be driven at a medium speed in direct drive or high gear to save fuel.
I've been driving the 10th-generation Civic for almost two years now, mostly in the city. The normal fuel consumption ranges from 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits. In heavy city traffic, the fuel consumption can spike to 10-11 liters, especially in summer when the air conditioning is on. On the highway, cruising can bring it down to around 7 liters, and even lower if driving smoothly. My experience suggests avoiding aggressive starts, minimizing sudden acceleration and braking, maintaining tire pressure at around 2.5 bar, and keeping up with regular maintenance like oil and filter changes to keep fuel consumption stable within the normal range. Also, don’t overlook the impact of weather—cold starts in winter can slightly increase fuel consumption. Regularly monitoring the fuel gauge or using an app to track consumption helps avoid prolonged high expenses. Overall, as long as there are no mechanical issues, fuel consumption within this range is fine. If it exceeds this, it's time for a check-up.
As a car enthusiast, I've studied the standard data of the 10th-generation Civic. Its 1.5T turbocharged engine has a combined fuel consumption of 7.5 to 9.0 liters per 100 kilometers under WLTC testing, but actual driving conditions vary greatly depending on driving style and environment. The normal range is 8-11 liters in the city and 6-8 liters on highways; with smooth throttle control, fuel consumption can be kept around 7 liters. Key factors include traffic congestion, air conditioning usage, and air filter cleanliness. Regular checks on vehicle conditions like the ignition system and avoiding prolonged inefficient operation can save both money and fuel. Normal fuel consumption indicates a healthy engine and control system, while excessively high consumption may signal accumulated minor issues.
