I'm a knight to share, thank you for your attention.
There is a voice in the market that says, "If you ride a motorcycle, don't care about fuel consumption", but the reality is that whether it is a road family or a big brother who plays with cars, they will pay more attention to the fuel consumption of their cars, whether it is a motorcycle or a car. There are few people who can really not eat the fireworks of the world and leave the topic of fuel consumption behind.
1. So why is that?
In fact, the reason is very simple, because the fuel consumption of the vehicle is directly linked to our wallet, so almost every cyclist wants their car fuel consumption to be lower.
As we all know, a reliable motorcycle, in the later use of the process, fuel is the largest expense, you can extend the maintenance interval, choose relatively cheap consumables, but fuel this just need, will not give you any opportunity to be lazy, as long as you need to refuel.
If you understand the underlying logic, you won't easily laugh at people who talk about motorcycle fuel consumption. And the same is true for cars, but no one will be willing to be a VIP at a gas station if there is any other way. Otherwise, electric vehicles would not have been able to rise.
Taking a step back, the fuel economy of the vehicle is actually a topic of conversation after our tea and dinner, as long as the car lovers talk together, the topics involved are nothing more than power, fuel consumption, and failure. In this way, how can you not pay attention to fuel consumption?
If someone says that my motorcycle is very powerful, you can basically pull back a game if you say that my motorcycle is very fuel-efficient. Maybe others will come to ask for some fuel-saving tricks and skills, so fuel consumption is not only linked to the wallet, but also related to the looming vanity, it is both face and lining, many people take great pains to measure fuel consumption, don't you just want to highlight that little bit of superiority?
2. Is the fuel consumption of a motorcycle really higher than that of a car?
Let's start with a round of data. The most fuel-efficient motorcycles on the blue planet must be the bending beam bikes, with a fuel consumption of about 1.5L per 100 kilometers. This is mainly related to its powertrain and body structure.
And our common 125 straddle bike will be about two liters, scooter will be about 2.2L, 150 straddle bike will be about 2.2L, scooter will be about 2.5L, 250 straddle bike will be about three liters, scooter fuel consumption is more magical, some are about 3.5 liters, some will come to 4.5 liters or so.
The fuel consumption of medium and large displacement models is not necessarily directly linked to displacement, some models are very economical, and some models are very high.
For example, some 500cc models will have a fuel consumption of around 5 liters, 800 cc will be around six liters, and a male model will have a fuel consumption of around 8 liters. The official fuel consumption of Honda NC750X is only 3.4 liters per 100 kilometers, and the actual fuel consumption will not be much higher.
This is mainly related to the positioning of the vehicle, performance orientation, and technical level. And it is not necessarily that small displacement motorcycles will be fuel-efficient, under the same road conditions, medium and large displacement models will also have a fuel-efficient side, the reason here is mainly related to technical differences.
Therefore, the fuel consumption level of the motorcycle may not be absolutely balanced, and it still depends on the specific performance of the specific model.
Of course, in terms of fuel consumption of a single individual, the fuel consumption of motorcycles will be much lower than that of cars under the same road conditions, after all, the fuel consumption of conventional fuel 1.5L cars per 100 kilometers is low, and it cannot be less than most motorcycles.
But the crux of the matter is that some riders don't like to calculate accounts like this, they just like to split them according to the size of the displacement. This premise is not unaware, but it is shocking that the motorcycle is not only not fuel-efficient, but will also be labeled as an "oil tiger".
Because the engine displacement of the 1.5L family sedan will be about 1490cc, it is definitely a proper public upgrade large displacement in the field of motorcycles, the average fuel consumption of such models will be about 6L per 100 kilometers, and the large displacement motorcycle of the public upgrade is obviously unable to reach this level, and the Honda GL1800 can compete with each other, the actual displacement of the car is 1833cc, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.49L.
In this way, the fuel economy of a motorcycle is simply not comparable to that of a car. The reason is that the speed of the motorcycle engine is generally higher than that of the car, and the performance orientation of the two is completely different, the motorcycle emphasizes the acceleration performance and the top speed performance, and the car pays more attention to the driving force of the vehicle in the load-bearing state, and then there is a large difference in fuel consumption after unpacking.
All in all, whether you're riding a motorcycle or driving a car, there's no shame in talking about fuel consumption. As for whether the fuel consumption of a motorcycle is higher or lower than that of a car, it mainly depends on how the individual judges.
Motorcycles are obviously more fuel-efficient in terms of cost of use, but from the theoretical data, the fuel economy of cars is higher, which is mainly related to performance orientation and technical differences. Finally, if you have different views, please leave a message to discuss, and wonderful comments will be put to the top.
