Why is the automatic transmission version of Sylphy more fuel-efficient than the manual version?
1 Answers
Fuel consumption is closely related to driving habits. Generally, manual transmission models are more fuel-efficient than automatic transmission ones. According to current widely accepted theories, vehicles of the same brand, model, and displacement typically show slightly better fuel efficiency with manual transmissions compared to automatic ones. However, this is not absolute. Many factors influence fuel consumption, including road conditions, fuel quality, driving habits, and vehicle condition. Here are some fuel-saving methods: 1. Ensure correct tire pressure: Both under-inflation and over-inflation can increase fuel consumption, so regular tire pressure checks are essential. 2. Switch to fuel-efficient tires: For example, Pirelli's P6000 Powergy tires can reduce rolling resistance by approximately 15%, saving about 3.75% in fuel. 3. Avoid arbitrarily changing tire size: Wider tires increase rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.
