What is the normal fuel consumption for the 2012 Peugeot 308?
2 Answers
2012 Peugeot 308's fuel consumption around 8L is considered normal. Below is the relevant introduction: Peugeot 308: The Peugeot 308 is a compact sedan. The first Peugeot 308 model will be equipped with a 120-horsepower 1.6L inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine transplanted from the 207 model, fitted with 215/55R16 Michelin tires. Model Introduction: Inheriting the current features of the Peugeot family models, the large-mouth grille, raised engine hood, and the huge and eye-catching lion logo, the latest Peugeot 3-series model, the 308, makes a dazzling debut with a new dynamic design. Its mission is to take over the responsibilities of the previous generation 3-series model, the 307, in the compact sedan market.
Over the years of driving my 2012 Peugeot 308, I've found its fuel consumption to be quite stable. In city stop-and-go traffic, it averages around 7 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways, when driving above 80 km/h, the fuel consumption can drop to about 6 to 7 liters. Mine is a 1.6-liter engine with a manual transmission, and with proper maintenance, the fuel consumption stays around 7.5 liters. The key lies in driving habits—sudden acceleration or braking increases fuel consumption. I prefer smooth driving and keeping the tires at standard pressure, which saves quite a bit of money. Avoid cluttering the car with unnecessary items to reduce weight; regularly cleaning the air filter and changing the engine oil prevents carbon buildup and wasted fuel. If fuel consumption seems unusually high, it's likely due to road conditions or maintenance issues—I recommend using an app to track refueling data for comparison. Generally, fuel consumption between 6 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers is within a reasonable range, so there's no need to worry too much. However, if it occasionally exceeds this, it's worth checking if the spark plugs are aging.
