• Yakov, Rostov. I have owned Lada Granta for two and a half years, this good investment money. After I brought to mind Shumkov, there are no problems at all. My car has a 1.6 engine with 98 hp. consumes 5.5-9 liters of fuel per 100 km.
• Yuri, Kursk. Lada Granta 2014 release, 1.6 on the machine. I chose a medium power car, because I don’t need racing car. 98 "horses" suit me quite well, for the city suitable car. I like the spacious trunk. Consumption in the city up to 9 liters, on the highway - from 6 liters.

Lada Granta 1.6 (106 HP)

In a number of power units that are installed on the Lada Grant, the most powerful is Gas engine volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 106 horsepower. The torque of 148 Nm allows you to accelerate to a maximum of 190 km / h. The motor is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

The Lada Granta was produced by AvtoVAZ in 2011. He began to replace the Kalina model and the fuel consumption of Lada Grant per 100 km is significantly different from its predecessor.

In early 2011, the production of this Lada model began. And only at the end of the year, in December, went on sale new Lada Grant, which belongs to a class C car.

Classification of manufactured models

The budget front-wheel drive car Lada Granta was presented in several versions - Standard, Norma and Lux, each is available with a sedan or liftback body.

At the beginning of production, this car was produced with an 8-valve engine, then from a 16-valve engine with a total volume of 1.6 liters. Most cars have a manual transmission and some have an automatic transmission.

Important, that specifications Frets Granta, fuel consumption according to the passport and according to real data make this model the best among other vases.

Models with 8-valve engine

The original version was Lada Granta, equipped with a 1.6-liter engine with several capacities: 82 hp, 87 hp. and 90 horsepower. This model has a manual transmission and an 8-valve engine.

Other technical characteristics include front-wheel drive and a gasoline engine with distributed injection. Max Speed The car is 169 km / h and it can accelerate in 12 seconds to 100 km.

Gasoline consumption

Fuel consumption on an 8-valve engine averages 7.4 liters in the combined cycle, 6 liters on the highway and 8.7 liters in the city. The owners of cars of this model were pleasantly surprised, who say on the forums that the real fuel consumption on an 8-valve Lada Grant with an engine power of 82 hp. slightly exceeds the norm: 9.1 liters in the city, 5.8 liters in the extra-urban cycle and about 7.6 liters during mixed driving.

The actual fuel consumption of the Lada Grant is 87 liters. With. differs from the specified norms: city driving 9 liters, mixed - 7 liters and suburban - 5.9 liters per 100 kilometers. A similar model with a 90 hp engine. consumes no more than 8.5-9 liters of fuel in the city and 5.8 liters on the highway. In other words, these vase models can be called the most successful budget models of the Lada Grant car. Winter fuel consumption increases by 2-3 liters per 100 kilometers.

Cars with 16-valve engine

The complete set of the engine with 16 valves contributes to a significant increase in engine power. Such Lada Granta models have the same 1.6 liter engine with a capacity of 98, 106 and 120(sport version model) horsepower and are equipped with automatic and manual transmissions.

The technical characteristics also include a front-wheel drive configuration and an engine with distributed fuel injection. The maximum acceleration speed reaches 183 km / h, and the first 100 kilometers can be "dial" after 10.9 seconds of driving.

Gasoline costs

Official data claim that the fuel consumption rate of Lada Granta on the highway is 5.6 liters, in the combined cycle no more than 6.8 liters, and in the city only 8.6 liters per 100 kilometers. These figures apply to all engine types.

Real fuel costs range from 5 to 6.5 liters outside the city, depending on engine power. A average consumption gasoline at Lada Grant in the city reaches 8-10 liters per 100 km. Winter mileage increases by 3-4 liters in all types of engines.

Causes of increased fuel consumption

Like many cars, sometimes the cost of gasoline in the Grant exceeds the norm. This happens in connection with:

• Malfunctions in the engine;
• Machine overload;
• Using additional equipment- air conditioning, on-board computer, etc.
• Permanent sharp acceleration and vehicle braking
• The consumption of low-quality gasoline;
• Extra costs for lighting the road with headlights in unnecessary cases;
• Aggressive driving style of the owner of the car;
• The presence of congestion on urban roads;
• Wear and tear of some parts of the car or the machine itself.

The winter season also increases Grant's fuel consumption by 100 km. This is due to the additional costs of warming up the engine, tires and car interior.

Gearbox automatic

Automatic transmission is equipped with a 16-valve engine model with a capacity of 98 and 106 horses. Thanks to the gearbox, such models consume more fuel. Reason - automatic device shifts gears with a delay and, accordingly, the fuel consumption of the Lada Grants automatic increases.

So, fuel costs for a 16-valve model with a power of 98 hp. are 6 liters on the highway and 9 liters on city roads.

Engine with 106 hp consumes 7 liters on the highway and 10-11 liters outside the city.

Riding in a mixed type consumes about 8 liters per 100 kilometers. Winter driving increases the fuel costs of the Lada Granta automatic transmission of both engines by an average of 2 liters.

Body sedan and liftback

Lada Granta sedan went on sale in 2011 and immediately became a popular car model. The reason for this was the massive purchases of this particular car: two years after its release, every 15 car purchased was a Lada Granta sedan. Of the three well-known configurations - Standard, Norma and Lux, the most affordable option is the standard. The volume of the engine is 1.6 liters and the power is 82 liters. With. makes this 4-door model not only a budget car, but also a practical economy class car. And the average gasoline consumption of the Lada Granta sedan is 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers.

Before the release of the new Lada model, many became interested in how much it would change. As a result, the technical characteristics of the liftback are not very different from the sedan. This car entered the market in 2014. The main changes are visible in the exterior of the car and in the 5-door configuration. Other functional devices have remained the same or have been improved. The lack of changes can be seen on the configuration of the car, which moved from the Grant sedan. Fuel consumption in such cars is slightly higher, as engine power has increased.

Options for reducing fuel consumption

The fuel consumption of the engine directly depends on the above factors that affect the increase in the cost of gasoline. To reduce fuel consumption, you need:

• check all engine systems for serviceability;
• monitor the electronic system;
• detect injector problems in time;
• regulate the pressure of the fuel system;
• clean air filters in a timely manner;
• turn off headlights if they are not needed;
• drive the car smoothly, without jerking.

The transmission plays an important role in fuel consumption. Owners of a vase with a manual transmission have lower costs than drivers of a Lada Grant automatic. Therefore, when choosing a car of this model, you need to take into account all the factors that affect moderate fuel consumption.

Lada Granta cars are among the few that have powerful engine and relatively low fuel consumption. This is one of the main advantages in a series of budget cars.

In reality, fuel consumption is determined for a mixed driving cycle.

At the same time, according to the reviews of car owners of the model in question, the actual combustion of gasoline occurs differently. So:

• in urban conditions, from 7.1 to 19.7 liters per standard 100 km (the average value, respectively, is 11.8);
• on the highway - 6-10.2 (7.6);
• combined cycle consumption - 7.2-14.8 (10.4).

As you can see, the difference is, for the most part, very significant. Why is this happening? Let's talk about it below.

How to figure out the cost yourself

The method described here allows you to determine as accurately as possible for your particular case the amount of fuel burned per 100 kilometers.

The procedure is as follows:

• having worked out the fuel as completely as possible, fill the tank to the eyeballs, that is, until the column pistol produces the first “shooting”;
• the daily mileage scale is set to zero;
• after one day, the distance covered by the car is compared with the fuel consumption.

For example, if you drove a conditional 400 kilometers and used up 31 liters of fuel, then dividing the sum of liters by the first number and multiplying the result by 100, we get 7.75, which is the real value for you.

Acting in this way, you will know exactly what the operation of the Grant will result in for you.

Basically power point Grants belongs to the subcompact category. Such vehicles as a whole are not capable of consuming a lot of fuel. However, there are many factors that directly affect this indicator. We will talk about them in more detail below.

Equipment

This is one of the most significant factors on which the overall fuel consumption of a car depends. In particular, there are differences in:

• body types;
• types of power units;
• electronic equipment;
• mechanical or automatic transmissions etc.

For example, a sedan and a liftback are produced each in three versions. The difference lies in the power of the unit and, accordingly, their voracity also varies. So:

• a 98 liter engine will burn 7.8 liters at the rate;
• at 87 - 7.2;
• at 106 - 6.9.

It is worth knowing that the weakest of them has 8 valves, while the rest already have 16.

The designers made the only exception for Grants Sport. On this model put power unit 1.6 liters (this parameter is the same for all machines), but its power is higher - 118 l / s. Moreover, the sports version is also equipped with a gearbox for 5 positions.

Curiously, with all this, having a 16-valve engine, the above model, according to the manufacturer's standard, spends only 6.8 liters per hundred kilometers. This is a very modest figure in comparison with other relatives.

Fuel quality

Reviews from the owners of Grants indicate that the amount of consumption varies significantly from what kind of fuel is used to refuel it.

The manufacturer, for its part, recommends giving preference to a better brand, that is, AI-95. Moreover, practice confirms that the above-mentioned grade of gasoline is burned more economically than cheap 92nd. At the same time, the difference is so significant that it is more profitable to use expensive fuel.

This circumstance should also be taken into account in order to optimize the operating costs of the vehicle in question.

Highway congestion

Driving around the city is usually seriously hampered by the abundance of cars on the streets. This constantly leads to traffic jams. As a result, the operation of the engine requires more gasoline.

The situation is aggravated in winter and summer, when you also need to either heat the interior of the car or cool it.

In sum, consumption can increase many times under the influence of all the factors mentioned earlier.

driving style

Fuel consumption also largely depends on it. Fans of speed and spectacular starts with sudden stops spend more fuel than calm car owners.

Moreover, when the driver constantly starts from cold engine, the amount of gasoline burned typically increases by about 12 percent.

As previously noted, the work of different electronic systems, and including air conditioning, fuel is also required. The more gadgets and “gadgets” installed on the car, the more difficult it is to save gasoline.

Only one air conditioner is able to "eat" an additional 15 percent of the total volume.

seasonality

The car costs the most in winter and summer. Moreover, it is more difficult precisely in the cold season, because in the heat the owner only needs to monitor the temperature of the motor and the operation of the air conditioner. In cold weather, consumption is also influenced by other factors:

• winter tires;
• heating;
• heating systems for mirrors and rear-view glass;
• the need to drive as carefully as possible, etc.

Domestic cars have always been famous for their modest appetite for fuel consumed, but many are still interested in the question of how much fuel Lada Granta consumes, especially against the background of the fact that in engines, in addition to the Standard version, it is imperative to use only gasoline not lower than AI-95 due to design features . Today we will discuss this issue with you.

What is the fuel consumption of the Lada Granta?

The manufacturer, represented by AvtoVAZ, regulates fuel consumption for Lada Granta in the combined cycle from 6.7 liters per 100 kilometers, up to 7.6. The most “gluttonous” version is expected to become the version with the “automatic”, and Grant distinguished himself with the most modest appetite with the new VAZ 21127 engine with a power of 106 hp. But passport data are not always reliable, since they are achieved in the "greenhouse" conditions of the landfill. We are interested in real tests.

Since all VAZ engines are similar in their appetite, an example would be the VAZ 21116 engine, which is aggregated to the Norma version. It has a lightweight piston group which has a positive effect on fuel consumption. An experienced car has passed at the moment 13-14 thousand kilometers in a city with a population of 800 thousand people and 2 thousand on the highway. For all this run, the consumption at the time of writing is 7.4 liters. Let me remind you that in the combined cycle for this motor, a consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers is regulated. Our regime is not quite mixed, there are not so many tracks, so I consider it right to say that in the factory odskie consumption figures this motor met. It should also be noted that when measuring fuel consumption, the car drove freely, fuel economy was atlast place. The owner, that is, the author of this article, did not deny himself the pleasure of a ride "with the breeze" and did not turn off the car in the cold.

Why does my Lada Granta consume a lot of fuel?

On specialized forums, you can find messages from people who complain that their Lada Granta consumes 12, and sometimes 13 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers on the on-board computer in the city. Why then, one asks, on one car the consumption is 7.4 liters, and on the other 12? The answer is very simple. For a more accurate measurement of fuel consumption, it is necessary to drive at least a thousand kilometers and check the consumption, which is called “according to checks” or “from light bulb to light bulb”. How to do it? We are waiting for the remaining fuel lamp to light up - this means that you have less than 7 liters of fuel in the tank. Refueling full tank or necessary e amount of fuel, measure the mileage and wait until the remaining fuel lamp lights up again. Thus, we refuel and measure until we drive a thousand kilometers. Next, we calculate the consumption using a simple formula: (Amount of fuel / Mileage) * 100 = average consumption.

Example: we filled in 100 liters of fuel and drove 1000 kilometers. Our average consumption will be as follows: (100/1000) * 100 = 10 liters per 100 kilometers.

Among other things, the urban driving style will vary greatly from the congestion of the roads on which the car travels, from the duration of the trip, the warm-up time, the duration of the parking lot with the engine on. Don't forget the cost of Idling strive for infinity. And even if, according to the results of the calculations, you got a result of more than 10 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers of city driving, do not despair, this does not indicate a malfunction of the car's systems. To check the health of the systems, it is required to carry out a simple test: we reset the readings of the on-board computer, we leave for a free track and drive 5-10 kilometers at a constant speed of 80-90 km / h. If the result of the test was a consumption of 4.5-5.5 liters, then all the systems of your car are working properly, and the reason for the “big appetite” of your car in the city lies in the driving style, traffic congestion and the duration of the trips themselves.

Also, do not forget that the plant regulates fuel consumption indicators only when using fuel with an octane rating of at least 95. When using any other fuel, the manufacturer fuel efficiency of its engines.

The following videos will be able to answer this question most fully, which will show the summer and winter consumption fuel Lada Granta.

Reducing fuel consumption on the Lada Granta

The modern world is characterized by constant, pleasant and not very, changes that affect the most diverse aspects of people's lives. The rise in prices in general, and in particular the rise in fuel prices, cannot be attributed to positive changes.

Naturally, a change in gasoline prices in the direction of their increase makes the vast majority of car owners seriously think about saving. Giving up a car is a last resort that very few motorists decide to take, but attempts to reduce fuel consumption are not only acceptable, but also quite feasible options. Below we will try to understand the issues affecting the topic of reducing fuel consumption on Grants.

Technical aspects that provoke an increase in fuel consumption

In recent years, VAZ has made many attempts to improve its own products, however, the number of still unresolved problems is also quite large. A whole list of these problems has a direct impact on the amount of fuel consumed. These factors are conventionally divided into "hardware" and "software", a similar classification appeared as a result of the application injection engine and the appearance of a large number of sensors in the design of the car. Now let's look at each problem separately.

1. Wrong choice of fuel

A lot of motorists in our country believe that refueling domestic car can be any available fuel. This statement has long roots, but does not reflect the current state of affairs. Any car produced at AvtoVAZ today is equipped with a variety of electronic systems that require timely care and respect. Naturally, this also applies to the brand of gasoline poured by the car owner into the tank of his car.

According to the official documents of the VAZ, the Grants should only be refueled with A-95 gasoline, since their engine was developed specifically for this brand of fuel. Naturally, such an engine will be able to function on gasoline with a different octane number, but it will compress it in the same way as the A-95, because this will allow the engine control system to make correct calculations for the manufacture of the fuel mixture. Thus, refueling the car with gasoline with an octane rating of less than 95 will inevitably lead to an increase in fuel consumption.

2. Errors issued by the electronic system

These errors are among the most simple and easily fixable problems that the owner of the car can fix at any time. service center. The reason for their occurrence is the incorrect operation of some sensors involved in the preparation of the working mixture. In such a situation on dashboard“Check Engine” will light up on the car, and we will talk about violations in the operation of the position sensors throttle valve and mass air flow, as well as a malfunction of temperature sensors.

A malfunctioning mass air flow sensor is often associated with contamination and untimely replacement air filter. Since many motorists do not attribute this element to any important details, little attention is paid to it, and therefore they simply forget to change it on time. However, it is air purification that is one of the determining factors in the operation of a car. Air is essential component working mixture (constituting more than 90% of this mixture), and if it is poorly cleaned, then the operation of the engine will be significantly more difficult.

But incorrect readings can also be the result of false data received from the oxygen sensor. All this often leads to both the preparation of a lean and the preparation of a too rich fuel mixture. The result will be either a loss of power or an increase in fuel consumption rates. Diagnosis of all sensors will help to identify the malfunction, while each of them should be inspected separately.

3. Pressure level in the fuel system

This malfunction is common and occurs quite often. The pressure can be either too low or too high, but in most cases it is low pressure that is noted. The malfunction manifests itself in the loss of power by the engine, due to which the driver has to increase the speed when driving a car, which naturally leads to excessive fuel consumption. And if there are problems with fuel rail the car may even stop starting.

4. Injector failure

If the car owner does not monitor the engine of his car, sooner or later he will encounter problems associated with its functioning. As a rule, problems arise due to contamination of the injectors, which entails a decrease in the quality of the fuel mixture supply and the engine begins to “troit”. An attempt by the driver to compensate for this shortcoming by increasing the speed will provoke an increase in the amount of gasoline consumed.

5. Faulty catalyst

Problems similar to those described earlier can occur when the catalyst burns out or destroys, which will provoke the preparation of an overly rich fuel mixture. This will lead to excessive heating of the catalyst, which will reduce its life and reduce engine power. As a result, gasoline consumption will reach maximum levels.

6. Violations related to engine temperature

Each car owner must monitor the temperature of the engine of his car in a timely manner. Remember - at a temperature of 103 C fuel mixture the power unit, losing power, is forced to overspend gasoline. A rather tangible problem is the lack of information on the temperature indicators of the motor, given to the driver in real time, on the Grants dashboard. Untimely warming up of the engine leads to the preparation of an excessively rich mixture, which will also cause an increase in fuel consumption rates by about 20%. Most often, the root of these problems lies in a faulty thermostat.

7. Malfunctions of the motor

The deterioration of the engine often leads to increased fuel consumption rates. In this case, the owner of the car has the following symptoms:

• Loss of compression
• Increased oil consumption;
• Dynamics worsens;
• The motor is unstable and unstable.

Factors that can significantly reduce the working life of the motor include:

• Mistakes made by the owner when choosing oil;
• Short-term running-in of the components of a new car;
• The engine does not warm up to operating temperature. At this point, we need to dwell a little more. Working temperature Grants motor is 90 C, but the vast majority of the owners of these cars claim that the temperature rarely rises above 80 C, even at positive temperatures outside. In such a situation, the main problem - increased consumption gasoline, an increase in the risk of malfunctions and poor heating of the car interior are added.
• Contaminated air filter

Failures in the passage of air flow through the air filter lead to the so-called "oxygen starvation", and its natural result will be high gas mileage.

Will "economical firmware" help to cope with the problem of excessive consumption of gasoline?

Equipping each Grant with a complete set of electrical systems and on-board computer allows any owner this car reflash these systems by replacing set by the manufacturer settings to those that the owner considers necessary to activate.

Naturally, such a manipulation is among the rather risky ones, however, the car manufacturer is not able to initially guess under what conditions this or that car will be operated. Flashing will allow you to quite significantly reduce gas mileage (you can save up to 20%), and if the result does not suit the car owner, he can easily return to the standard settings.

It is recommended to replace the original settings with new ones only if the owner has valid warranty on a car, and it is better to entrust such a procedure to a qualified professional. If you wish, you can change the settings yourself, but before that you should understand in detail all the issues of this process.

One of the most simple recommendations for car owners who want to save on fuel, there is advice on transferring a car to natural gas. This will not lead to a significant reduction in the amount of fuel consumed, however, it will almost double the cost of each kilometer of the way. This option also comes with one drawback. rapid wear a number of details. It should be noted that such a transfer will not be financially perceptible for drivers who rarely use their car.

You can save on fuel and to the detriment of your own comfort when moving - refuse to use all electrical appliances (air conditioning, radio, etc.). Such a measure will allow you to save from 0.5 to 1 liter of fuel for every 100 kilometers.

Many people think that when moving down a hill, coasting gasoline consumes less, and this is true. But do not forget about the weakening of control over the car with such movement, which poses a danger to the driver, passengers, and pedestrians. In addition, the result of such a ride may be failed brakes.

It is noticed that the movement is close behind a heavy truck reduces gasoline consumption, but this rule only works when the truck in front is moving fast. At a speed of 50 km / h, movement will occur at low gear and the consumption of gasoline, on the contrary, will only increase.

Tire pressure is an important aspect. Under reduced pressure fuel consumption will increase due to the increase in the contact zone of the wheel with the roadway, which will complicate the rolling process. Therefore, by increasing the pressure in your tires, you will reduce the amount of fuel consumed by your car. The main thing at the same time is not to exceed the parameters recommended by the manufacturer, because very high pressure will increase the rigidity of movement, in addition, the risk of tire rupture on difficult sections of the road will also increase.

The quality of the fuel you use plays an important role in saving money. Choosing more quality gasoline, you can slightly reduce fuel consumption, however, the high cost of such fuel can neutralize possible savings. In addition, drivers wishing to save on gasoline are advised to switch to the smoothest possible driving style and try, if possible, to bypass congested road sections in alternative ways.

Factors leading to excessive fuel consumption

If left out of brackets possible breakdowns and car malfunctions, then there will be very few factors provoking high gas mileage. These include moving with the headlights on all the time, leading to an increase in gasoline consumption by 5-10%. The same can be said about the quality of the functioning of the gearbox - if it cannot pull out the required speed, then the fuel consumption, albeit slightly, will increase.

It is not worth saving on gasoline by purchasing low-octane fuel - this will end in the early wear of some elements of the engine and the gasoline supply system, bringing only additional costs and problems.

A not too obvious reason for the excessive consumption of gasoline is a poorly adjusted wheel alignment. The adjustment of this system is carried out twice a year, with a seasonal change of rubber. Most often, questions arise when the owner of a car chooses a “sports” type of camber, and incorrectly set gaps in spark plugs can also cause problems.

A lot also depends on the style of movement chosen by each particular driver - for this reason, fans of abrupt starts and stops should not expect moderate gas mileage. You can save fuel only with smooth movement, accurate speed pickup and long-term retention at high rates at a minimum engine speed. To achieve such a result, especially on roads with poor quality coverage, is quite difficult, but you can still try.

This SECRET is hidden from us by all gas stations! Watch.

How are consumption rates determined?

Fuel consumption, in other words, the amount of gasoline consumed per 100 km of travel, in many states will agree to be one of the most important features of a car engine. Vehicle weight, engine efficiency, transmission ratios, power consumption additional equipment, tire quality level, work fuel pump, other factors and braking affect the specific fuel consumption. Aggressive, overly active driving also implies a greater consumption of gasoline.

In the recent past, the calculation of fuel consumption was determined by specialist drivers during factory tests on intentionally equipped tracks. At the moment, the new principle of similar testing shows high reproducibility of results. But during a standardized test in a trial lab, the vehicle is serviceable, filled with reference fuel, all additional electrical equipment, lighting and air conditioning are turned off.

On the stand in automatic mode, cycles of acceleration, braking and uniform motion are performed.

Manufacturers publish these, obtained on a test bench, which are not the norm for practical gasoline consumption. Hostile driving style and second acceleration, dosing systems and fuel engine problems, low tire pressure and vehicle load, jammed transmission malfunction and brakes - these are not all the reasons for incomplete combustion of fuel and, as a result, a significant increase in gas mileage. If the car is in good technical condition, then in the normal mode of movement, a skilled driver will be able to reduce fuel costs.

be aware that fuel consumption increases in winter, on mountain roads, when transporting bulky cargo. Machines from the conveyor, with the air conditioner running, and engines after the overhaul consume more fuel.

Factors Affecting Grant's Fuel Consumption

This is a virtual route along which the car passes in accordance with a strictly prescribed braking and accelerating scheme, minimum and high speeds in a certain mode, and for a manual transmission, a gear is determined at any moment of the cycle. In other words, by simulating movement on a municipal road or highway, fuel consumption is determined. In fact, various factors affect the consumption of Lada Granta gasoline.

1. Depending on the season, during the frosty winter months, fuel is used to heat the passenger compartment. Warming up the engine takes longer. The process of braking in icy conditions, in addition, does not contribute to fuel economy. But in summer, when using air conditioning, fuel consumption also increases by at least 1 liter.
2. The quality level of gasoline, in other words, what kind of gasoline is poured into a car. Based on the observations of drivers and test results, it is much more economical to use AI-95 on Lada Granta than AI-92.
3. Driving style. Fuel consumption increases many times with an aggressive driving style with acceleration and sudden braking.
4. The scourge of big cities is traffic jams. Due to uneven urban movement, Lada Granta drivers in cities have costs

   for gasoline is consistently higher.

5. nodes and Faulty systems. Working in enhanced mode, the car consumes more fuel.

Features of consumption depending on the gearbox

More fuel is consumed by the Lada Granta automatic, since the driver controls the manual, and the automatic switches on its own, with a small delay. For Lada Granta with a manual transmission, the gear engaged at the moment of movement is extremely important. By analyzing his own daily journey, the driver can find out the real consumption of gasoline of his own car. According to the reviews of Lada Granta car owners, it turns out that 100 km consumes:

• in the city - automatic transmission 9-12 l, manual transmission 7-11 l;
• on the highway - automatic transmission 8-9.5 liters, manual transmission 6-7 liters.

In winter, the indicators are large, in summer they are minimal. So, the amount of a tank of 50 liters allows you to drive more than 500 km. In city mode, drivers are forced to combine aggressive and quiet ride, from this and the average gasoline consumption of a run-in Lada Granta is 8 l / 100 km.

Reduce fuel consumption by 1.5-2 liters will help the use of engine braking, right choice transmission (on the mechanics) and driving only in the extreme right sequence behind public transport. On a suburban motorway with a smooth ride on a flat road surface, values ​​\u200b\u200bof 5 liters are observed. But with a quick start and sharp braking, with constant overtaking, the consumption increases to 6-7 liters.

Fuel economy rules

Reducing the cost of gasoline Lada Grant is not difficult at all. First of all, you need to realize that the deeper and more often you press on the accelerator pedal, the higher the gas mileage. And the less often you use the gas pedal, the more fuel you save. The main skill that trains over time is the ability to brake with an engine.

Any driver, when thirsty, will easily get used to rarely use the brake pedal.

When braking by the engine, the load on the braking system is noticeably reduced, fuel is saved Grants, thereby they will last longer brake pads and the entire braking system. When the engine slows down, the fuel consumption is zero. According to skilled drivers, the savings are at least 10 percent.

During the colder months, the car takes longer to warm up. But the modern Lada Granta tends to warm up in motion, and there is no need to warm it up too long. On a cold engine, you don't just need to accelerate quickly.

And if there is a goal to save on gasoline, head to avoid slipping and accelerate slowly and evenly.

Much more gasoline is consumed on uneven or dirt roads. The additional kilograms in the trunk of your car increase fuel consumption, so do not carry anything extra with you. Poor-quality automotive oils lead to various malfunctions of systems and engine Lada Granta and increase the fuel consumption of the car.

Spend technical inspection car on time. By following these simple recommendations, you can reduce your own gas costs.
