However, what no one expected was that the sharp rise in oil prices made some friends who originally planned to buy Trumpchi Shadow Leopard start to worry, after all, the main "performance" car, the cost of the car will not be cheap, so what is the actual situation? Compared with before the oil price increase, how much more expensive is the cost of raising a car for Trumpchi Shadow Leopard?

According to our survey, most users give trumpchi shadow leopard 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.7L, even if often fierce driving, the actual fuel consumption is difficult to exceed 8L, so we will take the 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption of 8L, the current 92 gasoline 8.6 yuan per liter to calculate the fuel cost, Trumpchi Shadow Leopard three years driving 60000km total fuel cost of 41280 yuan, the average annual fuel cost of 13760 yuan, the average monthly fuel cost of 1147 yuan. Before the No. 92 gasoline was only 7 yuan per liter, the total fuel cost of 60,000km for three years was 33,600 yuan, the average annual fuel cost was 11,200 yuan, and the average monthly fuel cost was 933 yuan.
