What is the real fuel consumption of the Eado Blue Whale Edition 1.4t?
2 Answers
The real fuel consumption of the Changan Eado Blue Whale Edition is 7L/100km. Reasons for increased vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Insufficient tire pressure and tire wear: Insufficient or low tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the ground, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. Severe tire wear often causes slippage, which also increases fuel consumption. 2. Poor gasoline quality: Pay attention to fuel quality and regularly clean carbon deposits. Poor-quality gasoline can lead to increased carbon deposits, which roughen the intake pipe walls, affecting air intake and mixture quality, causing a sharp rise in fuel consumption. Therefore, gasoline quality should not be overlooked, and it is essential to clean carbon deposits every six months.
I've been driving the Blue Whale Edition of the Eado with a 1.4T engine for almost a year. During heavy city traffic while commuting, the fuel consumption can spike to 8.2L/100km, but on weekends when driving on the highway, it easily drops to around 5.8L. On average, the combined fuel consumption is approximately 7.3L/100km. The car's lightweight design and low rolling resistance tires help with efficiency, though using the AC in summer increases consumption slightly, while winter performance is a bit better. The 1.4T engine in this car is indeed quite fuel-efficient, outperforming many other domestic cars in its class. However, actual fuel economy still depends on road conditions and driving habits—frequent hard acceleration will push the consumption up. I recommend using an OBD scanner regularly to get more accurate data.
