At a time when the price of fuel oil (BBM) is creeping up, especially non-subsidized. It's time for consumers to be smart in choosing a car that is not only superior in terms of features and technology, but also must save fuel.
Talking about saving fuel is not wrong if consumers choose the 2008 Peugeot car. This is because this Premium Compact SUV has recorded its fuel consumption of 20.5 kilometers for 1 liter of gasoline (Fitra Eri/Youtuber Otomotif-Red). This result is carried out when the car is driven constantly on the freeway.
The 2008 Peugeot 2008's fuel economy cannot be separated from the design, features and technology that this French product carries. You can see that the car has dimensions of 4,312 mm in length, 1,785 mm in width and 1,545 mm in height, which is quite compact.
"For the kitchen runway, the Peugeot 2008 is embedded with a 1.2 L TurboPuretech 3-cylinder engine. As a result, the 2008 Peugeot is capable of producing 130 horsepower and up to 230 Nm of torque. Even when testing the acceleration performance from 0-100 KM/hour it was still under 10 seconds," commented Samsudin, Aftersales Support of PT Astra International - Peugeot.
The 2008 Peugeot engine is combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission system. This transmission has a tight gear ratio. So that the gearshift is very smooth and sometimes the driver doesn't feel it.
Thanks to the 6-speed transmission, the engine doesn't need to do high revs to get big power while driving. This makes the engine work lighter so that it has an impact on fuel efficiency as well as being environmentally friendly and also has 3 driving mode options, namely ECO, Normal and Sport. Apart from that, Peugeot is also able to dampen the vibration caused by the combustion of 3 cylinders, so the 'Balancer Shaft' is added to the crank-shaft.
The 2008 Peugeot also carries the Drive by Wire (DBW) technology which is claimed to increase the efficiency of component and fuel use. Thanks to this technology, old components such as the power steering pump are no longer used. All have been replaced by servo motors as actuators that work based on computer commands. Finally, the use of fuel that is in accordance with the research octane number (RON) will result in better combustion in the engine room. The choice of this fuel must be adjusted to the needs of the engine so that the vehicle continues to function optimally and excellently.
For this reason, the Peugeot 2008 is more appropriate to use fuel that has a very high octane, namely RON 98. This type of fuel is suitable for the needs of high-performance car engines that demand more complete combustion.
Its ability to provide efficiency and protection of engine components is needed by engines with high compression specifications, namely up to 10.5:1.
