What is the normal fuel consumption per 100 kilometers?
2 Answers
Different vehicles, different engine displacements, and different driving habits result in varying fuel consumption. Generally, for family sedans with around 1.6-liter engine displacement, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is approximately 6-8 liters. Depending on driving habits, it may be slightly higher. Road conditions also play a role; in congested urban areas, fuel consumption tends to be higher. Additional relevant information is as follows: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Although it varies from vehicle to vehicle, you can determine what is suitable by considering your engine. Average fuel consumption value: Generally, the vehicle's onboard computer provides an average fuel consumption value displayed on the dashboard, but it often differs from the actual fuel consumption. Specific vehicle fuel consumption can be calculated using a formula.
I've been driving for over 20 years and think normal fuel consumption is around 6 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on the car model and road conditions. Small cars are more fuel-efficient, with compact cars in the city typically consuming 7 to 9 liters, possibly dropping to 6 to 7 liters on highways; larger SUVs are higher, often exceeding 10 liters in the city. Driving habits have a significant impact, as aggressive acceleration or sudden braking can increase fuel consumption by 1 to 2 liters. Having driven various models, I've found that well-maintained cars can maintain lower fuel consumption—for example, correct tire pressure and regular filter changes can save a lot. Using the heater in winter or air conditioning in summer increases fuel consumption, but as long as it doesn't exceed 12 liters overall, it's fine, especially since saving fuel means saving money with rising gas prices.
