Why is the fuel consumption of the Trumpchi GM6 so high?
1 Answers
The reasons for high car fuel consumption include inadequate driving skills, poor engine condition, and lack of maintenance during vehicle usage. The combined fuel consumption of the Trumpchi GM6 is 6.8-7.5L/100km. There are currently 9 models of the Trumpchi GM6 on sale: the Automatic Premium Edition and Automatic Luxury Edition, with a combined fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. The Automatic Luxury Edition, Automatic Luxury 7-Seater Edition, Automatic Noble Edition, Automatic Elite 7-Seater Edition, Automatic Premium Edition, and Automatic Honor Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km. The Manual Elite 7-Seater Edition has a combined fuel consumption of 7.1L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption, which represents the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test cycle. Actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, around 9.3L. Car fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights, will increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
