What is the real fuel consumption of the Accord 1.5t?
2 Answers
The real fuel consumption of the Accord 1.5t is 7.81L/100km. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Strengthen car maintenance: Car adjustments and maintenance affect engine performance and driving resistance. Owners should regularly visit car repair shops for routine maintenance, such as checking tire pressure, wheel alignment, adjusting brake pad and drum clearance, lubricating points on the car chassis, timely oil changes, and filter inspections. Additionally, among the specified oil types in the manual, choose the one with the lowest viscosity, as higher viscosity increases friction and fuel consumption. 2. Avoid prolonged engine idling: Engine fuel consumption during idle is much higher than during normal driving. Therefore, if the car is not moving for a long time, such as when parked and waiting, it is best to turn off the engine. During cold starts, warming up the car should not exceed one minute; maintaining low-speed driving for a few minutes is sufficient. 3. Avoid sudden braking and acceleration as much as possible: Smooth and steady driving is the most fuel-efficient. During the starting phase, avoid stomping on the accelerator. The correct method is smooth acceleration, and after reaching a certain speed, maintain a steady speed as much as possible. When driving in congested areas, also pay attention to the road conditions ahead to avoid sudden braking.
I drive my Accord 1.5T to work every day, with an actual fuel consumption of about 7-8L per 100km. In heavy city traffic, it can go above 9L, while on the highway, it easily drops to around 6.5L. I keep a record of every refuel, averaging 7.8L, while the official data is often 6.2L, but the actual is slightly higher mainly because I drive with more sudden accelerations and always have the AC on. A more fuel-efficient way is to avoid sudden braking and use cruise control on the highway. The tank can be filled with 92-octane gasoline, no need to pursue higher grades. Keeping the car well-maintained and ensuring proper tire pressure can also save some fuel.
