Consumption

The simplest way to calculate how much fuel a car spends per 100 km requires the driver to fill the gas tank completely, then drive a short distance and look at the result. After this, the calculation is carried out using the simplest formula Рт = L/Km x 100, which stands for:

Fuel consumption per 100 km = Volume of fuel burned (in liters) / Distance traveled (in km) x 100

This option is simple but effective: it allows you to obtain up-to-date data on the rate of diesel fuel consumption. Unfortunately, this somewhat limits the accuracy of the method, since no additional parameters are taken into account.

You can also calculate fuel consumption using the standard formula Qn = 0.01 x Hs x S x (1 + 0.01 x D), where Qn is the standard consumption in liters; Hs – base consumption in liters per 100 km, declared by the manufacturer; S is the current mileage, and D is a clarifying factor (it can either decrease or increase the result).

The coefficient is selected according to the following rules:

• Air conditioning or climate control system – plus 7%;
• Operation within urban areas (from 250 thousand inhabitants) – plus 15%;
• After 100 thousand kilometers and 5 years of operation - plus 5%;
• Check regulations for your region. Depending on the climate, up to 20% can be added.

To calculate fuel consumption as accurately as possible, a calculator is much better. Knowing the number of kilometers traveled and the volume of gasoline consumed, you can get accurate consumption figures without resorting to independent calculations.

The obtained data can be used for several purposes:

• Expense planning. If you usually only use your car for intracity trips, then it makes sense to calculate your gas mileage before going on a long trip. Using an online fuel calculator, you can get even more accurate data, including the cost of a liter of gasoline.
• Preventing unpleasant situations. An experienced motorist often finds himself in a situation where he needs to get somewhere urgently and does not want to waste time refueling. Knowing the gasoline consumption per 100 km, you can estimate whether you can reach the nearest gas station with the liters remaining in the gas tank.
• Diagnostics. Checking the rate of fuel consumption should be carried out at least once every six months. The obtained data should be compared with the basic indicators declared by the manufacturer. A large difference in the data obtained may indicate a malfunction.

Basic indicators are the standard that a machine meets after it leaves the assembly line. To find out the fuel consumption standards for your car model, check out the table.

Other ways to reduce fuel consumption

It is not always possible for Gazelle car owners with a gasoline engine to install LPG, much less diesel. But there are still ways to reduce fuel consumption. Options:

• Use a smooth driving method;
• Try to fill your car only with high-quality gasoline;
• Monitor the technical condition - change filters, oil, and service the ignition system on time.

Diagram of the ignition system in the Gazelle

What does smooth driving mean? Do not press hard on the gas pedal - during sharp acceleration, fuel consumption increases noticeably. You should not drive at high speed - when the speed rises above 80 km/h, the fuel quickly disappears from the tank.

The quality of gasoline also greatly affects its consumption. In addition, the octane number matters - the higher it is, the better the car’s throttle response and acceleration become better. Accordingly, less fuel is wasted.

If you fill your car with gasoline with an octane number higher than the standard for this type of engine, no trouble will happen.

But in the opposite case, serious problems may arise, not counting the fact that power will be lost and gasoline consumption will increase.

On vans and all-metal bodies, spoilers (aerodynamic fairings) are often installed on the cab roof.

With its help, the aerodynamics of the car are improved. And the higher the body, the more useful the spoiler is. Practice shows that its installation can actually reduce fuel consumption by about 1-2 liters per 100 km. It also makes sense to install such a device on an onboard tented Gazelle, especially if the awning is higher than the standard level.

So how does a fairing affect fuel economy? For example, let's take the next Gazelle with an isothermal van and an extended wheelbase; the car is equipped with a practical Cummins turbocharged diesel engine. It should be noted that in the instrument panel there is control of one very necessary parameter - average fuel consumption. The control panel is located between the speedometer and tachometer.

This is what a torpedo looks like in a Gazelle NEXT car

With a daily mileage of 300 km, the difference in price for fuel will be approximately 200-250 rubles per day, and in a month it will add up to approximately 6-7 thousand rubles. An aerodynamic fairing can now be bought for somewhere around 3-4 thousand rubles. That is, this simple thing pays for itself in literally two to three weeks. So the spoiler on the Gazelle is not installed for beauty at all, and it is much more useful for the car than the incomprehensibly needed and widely advertised magnetic activators.

Fuel consumption: standards, statistics and reviews

Not the best engineering solution for low-cost cars, as it contains a number of complex engineering solutions, such as a modified carburetor and an improved crankshaft. The engine is powerful, and in terms of fuel consumption the situation is not the same as with the 24th and 29th Volgas; my gasoline consumption was 13-14 liters in the city and about 9 liters on the highway, but that’s if you drive quietly.

Lubrication group • Gazelle next

• In the cold season, when the engine takes a long time to warm up;
• From the condition of the roads. A route with frequent ups and downs also contributes to increased consumption. The mode in which the car moves also affects. In the city, fuel consumption is always higher than on a country road;
• In case of malfunctions in the fuel system or in the engine itself. On gasoline engines, failures often occur in the ignition system; on diesel engines, the fuel injection pump may not be adjusted;
• From driving style. The most economical is considered to be a smooth ride without sudden acceleration. In this case, the speed of movement should be optimal;
• On a loaded vehicle;
• With low tire pressure. At low pressure, the resistance to vehicle movement increases, and more fuel is required to overcome the resistance;
• On all-wheel drive model.

If the machine is actively used, then all costs for purchasing and installing the system will pay off in about a year and savings will begin, not to mention the fact that the engine life when working on a propane-butane mixture will be higher, and the risk of emergency situations with the engine that resulted will be reduced. would incur additional costs. Most likely, the former owner-injector operator actually doesn’t know anything other than pressing the buttons of diagnostic scanner-testers, uploading programs into blocks and telling fairy tales.

So the spoiler on the Gazelle is not installed for beauty at all, and it is much more useful for the car than the incomprehensibly needed and widely advertised magnetic activators. If you need to go, say, to the office, and you start driving an hour before traffic jams or, for example, set off from Moscow to the south early in the morning, when there is not yet heavy traffic on the roads, then you can count on additional fuel savings.

Operation of a Gazelle with a 406 gas engine • ZMZ-406 engine

• Intensity of air conditioner use. In extreme weather conditions it is necessary. But if the air conditioner is constantly on, then the calculator will show more and more gasoline consumption with each trip.
• Open windows. If you ventilate too often, the fuel will burn faster - all due to reduced aerodynamic performance.
• Engine condition. A cold engine is not only a time saver, but also a sure way to start spending more on gasoline.
• Vehicle weight. It would seem that this indicator should remain unchanged. But in practice, car enthusiasts often fill their cars with unnecessary but heavy rubbish.
• Tire pressure. As soon as it starts to differ from the “tabular” indicators, pump it up. Does not pump up - replace immediately.

Transmission Gasoline engine

• Sergey, Petrozavodsk. I regret that I didn’t listen to my friend and didn’t immediately take the version with LPG, but chose the one with a gasoline engine. Consumption in cities, even with an incomplete load, is stable at 18 liters per 100 km. I have the all-metal van version.
• Peter, Novosibirsk. The car was purchased for work in the spring of 2016. In six months I have already clocked up 18,000 km. Overall, I’m happy with the car - Next has nothing in common with the previous GAZelle, the assembly is much better, the cabin is of high quality, it breaks much less. There is only one minus - the consumption of 16 liters in the city does not make me happy at all.
• Anatoly, St. Petersburg. For me, the speed qualities in a car like the GAZelle Next are completely unimportant - the main thing is that it has normal load capacity, does not break down and is comfortable to drive - I drive all day. My Gazelle copes with its task with a bang. Consumption with a load in the city is about 20 liters - but it cannot be less.
• Denis, Sverdlovsk. I took it in 2022 with the maximum configuration. In the city, the engine's power is enough for the eyes, but on the highway, of course, there are not enough horses. Consumption on the highway is 10 liters, in the city - 15-16 liters - these are average figures, if the load is full, then of course the consumption is higher.
• Igor, Krasnodar. In principle, I am satisfied with my Gazelle-Next, but sometimes, especially if fully loaded, 107 horses is not enough. You can also feel this if you are in a hurry - you press the gas to the floor, but the dynamics are weak. Well, on the other hand, it’s still a truck, not a sports car. As for consumption - from 15 liters in the city, or even more.
• Vladimir, Moscow. This is already my third GAZelle - and I’ll tell you that this is probably the best and most successful of all. First of all, it is necessary to note the cabin - much more comfortable than in previous versions, spacious and well designed. Consumption in the city is up to 20 liters with Moscow traffic jams, on the highway - 10-12 liters.
• Alexey, Rostov. The car is good - the most normal option for work. The interior is comfortable, there is plenty of room in the back, the engine is economical - for a truck 15-17 liters in the city I consider consumption quite normal, my Camry with a 1.6 liter engine consumes 10-11, but here the engine is 2.7 and the weight is several times greater.

Engine capacity • Less diesel fuel is required, let the average be 12 liters, but the cost of diesel fuel is high.

ZMZ engines for Gazelle

ZMZ produces most of the engines that are installed on Gazelle cars of various models. Let's consider the most popular of them, namely models 402, 405, 406 and 409.

ZMZ-402 is a modification of the GAZ-24D engine. The main components, as well as elements of the power unit, have been improved. This is a 4-cylinder carburetor engine with a volume of 2.5 liters. Its fuel consumption is 13.5 l/100 km in the urban cycle.

Among the modifications of the ZMZ-402 engine are:

1. ZMZ-4021.1 - mainly used on off-road vehicles produced by GAZ and UAZ.
2. ZMZ-4025.1 is a carburetor gasoline engine with valves located in the upper part of the cylinder head.
3. ZMZ-4026.1 is a model with a carburetor, in the upper part of which there are exhaust and intake valves (can be found on some GAZ minibuses).

The latest modification of the 402 engine complies with the Euro-4 standard.

Such auxiliary parts as a stove, radios or other audio systems, air conditioners, always-on headlights, wipers, even the use of winter tires affect fuel consumption. However, in all carburetor engines, and therefore current consumption is essentially chip tuning or installing a compressor, then reduce gasoline consumption and do so.

Re: Gazelle 405 Mikas 7.1 high fuel consumption • But the 405 engine should be serviced every 10,000-11,000 km on gasoline to increase its service life.

Installing gas equipment on Gazelle as a way to save fuel

One of the ways to reduce fuel costs is to install LPG (gas equipment) on a car. On forums and the Internet you can often see debates going on about which is better - diesel or LPG on a gasoline engine. Here you should calculate fuel consumption and fuel cost.

Gas consumption on a Gazelle car is approximately 15 percent higher than on gasoline.

Gazelle running on gas
That is, if a car consumes about 15 liters of gasoline on average, gas will be consumed approximately 16.5-17 liters.
Less diesel fuel is required (let the average be 12 liters), but the cost of diesel fuel is high. If you do the calculations, it turns out that the biggest savings are obtained on gas. Diesel is not bad either, but if it breaks down, then the cost of repairing it will be rather large. The car owner decides what to do best to save fuel.

Diesel or gasoline

Common malfunctions and operation. I would like to add that in a rainstorm, if the car is parked even slightly with the front end up, the engine compartment floods. Water enters the candle wells through the plugs and floods the candles. The electromagnetic clutch must be immediately replaced with an electric fan. Fortunately this is easy to do. The plastic valve cover must be replaced with a metal one. Very picky about the quality of oil and filters. On ordinary Lukoil oil the service life is about 150 t.km. I have been using Q8 10W40 from day one, mileage 275,000 km in 13 years.

Features of some Gazelle engines and models

Engine ZMZ 402

The engine has been produced since 1958, modern models, of course, have been modernized, but are still produced for 76 gasoline. Since gas has a much higher octane number, ZMZ 402 does not work very well on gas. They say about ZMZ 402 that after switching to HBO, he eats a lot and drives poorly. In order for it to work effectively, some modifications are needed. The ignition on the ZMZ 402 is set one notch earlier. Gas consumption on the ZMZ 402 engine will be from 20 to 30 liters for the cargo version of the Gazelle. It is desirable to bore the head of the ZMZ 402 engine by 4.5 mm. It is better to set the valve clearances in the ZMZ 402 engine to 0.45 mm and check them once every 5 thousand kilometers. Second generation gas equipment is better suited for this engine.

Engine ZMZ 406

The ZMZ 406 engine is a more modern development and began production in 1993. The ZMZ 406 engine can be injection and carburetor. The ZMZ 406 injection engine can be equipped with a second-generation gas system.

The ZMZ 406 injection engine can be equipped with a second generation gas system

The ZMZ 406 gasoline pump will have to be turned off when gas equipment is operating. The ignition timing of the ZMZ 406 is adjusted 6 degrees earlier. The price of the kit for the ZMZ 406 engine will be low, about 10 thousand rubles. Second generation gas equipment is better suited for this engine.

Gazelle model 33026 244

Gazelle model 33026 244 is a cheap truck. The onboard Gazelle model 33026 244 can be equipped with gas equipment directly from the factory. Gazelle car engines model 33026 244 are often converted to methane. Propane is a gas produced from oil fields. It is released under a pressure of 10-15 atmospheres, in the form of a liquid.

Methane is a natural gas. It is released in cylinders under a pressure of 200-250 atmospheres. Methane cylinders are much thicker and stronger, but larger, so they are more often used for trucks.

For Gazelle model 33026 244, the fourth generation of gas equipment is better suited. Methane requires more durable cylinders; they are usually installed under the side of the Gazelle 33026 244. When installing four fifty-liter cylinders on the Gazelle model 33026 244, the power reserve will be about 300 kilometers.

For gazelle 33026 244, the 4th generation LPG is best suited

Fourth generation gas equipment is better suited for these cars.

Gazelle 2705 Sable

The fourth generation of gas equipment is suitable for the Gazelle 2705 Sable car. The cylinder in the Gazelle 2705 Sable can be placed on the wheel arches of the car in the cargo compartment or instead of a spare wheel. A cylinder with a capacity of 200 liters can fit between the wheel arches of the Gazelle 2705 Sable. This installation on the Gazelle 2705 Sable is more preferable because it will not affect the weight distribution of the car. Some owners of Gazelle 207 Sable install a cylinder instead of a gas tank, but this is only possible in warm climates or if they have a warm garage. The filling device for the Gazelle 2705 Sobol can be removed from the bottom in the area of ​​the rear wheel. When installing hydraulic compensators in the Gazelle 2705 Sable engine, there will be no need to adjust the valves. Second generation gas equipment is better suited for these vehicles.

Fuel consumption of GAZelle Business according to owner reviews

Please note that the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle may vary up or down as the van is loaded. At the same time, the company produces GAZelle in various body styles - “farmer”, combi, three-seater cabin, van, minibus with a high roof. All these modifications are characterized by deviations from the norm of fuel consumption. What is the actual fuel consumption of GAZelle Business? Reviews from commercial vehicle owners will tell you about this.

1. Eldar, Volzhsk. At one point I decided that in addition to my main job, it wouldn’t be superfluous to have a part-time job driving my own car. For this purpose, I purchased our 2013 Gazelle Business with a 2.9-liter UMZ-4216.10 engine. What can I say about this car? For the money, this is a fairly high-quality vehicle; I personally have no complaints about GAZ over 5 years of operation. The car has an all-metal body, and as for fuel consumption, the figure increases as the vehicle is loaded. With a load of 500-600 kg, approximately 14-15 liters per 100 km in the city, that is, in fact, it is impossible to achieve the declared 12.5 liters. On the highway, the average output is 11-11.5 liters at an average speed of 90-100 km/h.
2. Georgy, Moscow. I needed a truck in 2012. At that time I had a limited budget, so the question of what to choose from was the last thing on my mind. I decided to take a product from the domestic automobile industry - since 2010, the new Gazelle Business was already available. This is where I chose. Now I have been using the car for 6 years and I am more pleased with the purchase than disappointed. I have a van-type truck with a UMZ gasoline engine. Consumption when loaded to failure (about 1.5 tons) can exceed 18 liters in the city. We're driving slowly, that's why these numbers are there. In a partially loaded state, the numbers are more optimistic - 14-16 liters.
3. Matvey, Podolsk. In 2015, a GAZelle Business acquired a vehicle with an awning for transporting cargo from one city to another. I needed the car urgently, so I bought a car from a friend in good condition, but with mileage already 150 thousand km. What I didn’t like about Business was, in my opinion, the weak UMZ-4216.10 2.9-liter gasoline engine. When loaded, it doesn't pull uphill at all. Consumption in the city is 14 liters, but most often I drive on highways, which take up about 80% of the total mileage. On the highway it “eats” 11 liters, which is not so bad.

Both UMZ-4216 engines are combined with a manual gearbox; their difference comes down to compliance with different environmental standards - the first is Euro 3, and the second is Euro 4. At the same time, the level of fuel consumption is approximately the same - on average 14 liters in the city when loaded, which is 1.5 liters higher than the standard established by the manufacturer. In the suburban cycle, the car burns up to 11 liters per 100 kilometers.

Gazelle 405 in detail about fuel consumption

The fuel consumption of the Gazelle 405 (injector) depends primarily, of course, on the quality of the fuel itself. Below we will consider the factors influencing fuel consumption, how they affect the amount of fuel consumed, how it will be possible to reduce large consumption rates, and what type of fuel is most profitable to use on a Gazelle.

Gazelle 405 injector: characteristics, operating features

The Gazelle 405 car with an injector engine is equipped with a new fuel supply system, which allows for more economical consumption and distribution of fuel. Let's consider the main qualitative characteristics of this engine model, operating principles, and also determine the advantages and disadvantages of using a fuel injection system.

Operating principles of an injection engine

An injector is a special system for injecting fuel into a car engine. Unlike the operating system of a carburetor engine, here fuel is forcibly injected into the cylinder using injectors. Because of these features, cars with such systems are called injection.

When the engine is in working condition, the controller receives information about such indicators as:

• crankshaft position and speed;
• antifreeze temperature;
• vehicle speed;
• all uneven road surfaces;
• presence of malfunctions in the motor.

As a result of analyzing all received data, the controller controls the following systems and mechanisms:

• gasoline pump;
• ignition system;
• diagnostic system;
• fan of the system, which is responsible for cooling the car.

Because the system is controlled by software, injection parameters change instantly, allowing many functions and data to be taken into account.

Advantages and disadvantages

Unlike carburetor engines, engines with an injection control system can reduce fuel consumption, simplify and improve the quality of Gazelle engine control, and meet all requirements for the composition of exhaust gases

. There is no need to manually adjust the fuel supply system.

But there are also some disadvantages of using injection engines: a significantly high price, if they break down they cannot always be repaired, the fuel must only be of high quality. If you have little experience in repairing Gazelle cars, it requires constant contact with special service stations, which leads to additional costs.

What factors determine fuel consumption?

The main factors affecting fuel consumption on a Gazelle with a 405 engine are:

• driver behavior while driving;
• It is necessary to periodically check the condition of the wheels. Let there be more pressure in the wheels than the lack of it;
• engine warm-up time;
• additional parts that drivers often put on the car body;
• technical condition of the car;
• an empty car consumes less fuel than a loaded one;
• inclusion of a large number of additional equipment.

What can be changed

Fuel consumption will increase significantly if you constantly exceed the permissible driving speed, often move away sharply, while accelerating too much or pressing the brake pedal sharply.

If the car is in a technically faulty condition, then the engine does not operate at full power and the fuel simply, as they say, “flies down the drain.”

Such auxiliary parts as a stove, radios or other audio systems, air conditioners, always-on headlights, wipers, even the use of winter tires affect fuel consumption. So , for example, turning on the high beam increases the amount of fuel consumed by the Gazelle by more than ten percent,

using air conditioning for a long time - by 14%, and driving with windows open at speeds exceeding 60 km/h - by more than 5%.

From the above, we can conclude that before wondering why the gasoline consumption of your Gazelle has increased, analyze all your actions related to the operation of the vehicle, check the serviceability of the car engine, inspect the fuel tank, and, if possible, eliminate all problems, reduce to minimize the number of factors affecting fuel consumption.

Fuel consumption for different engines

The fuel consumption of Gazelles with different types of engines is insignificant, but still different. As already mentioned, the number of liters consumed is influenced by a number of external factors - unevenness of the road surface, traffic jams, climatic conditions, the use of a large volume of various auxiliary parts inside the car body, and much more.

Various sources of information provide different data on the fuel consumption of the Gazelle 405, injector. With an engine capacity of 2.4 liters, the average fuel consumption varies within eleven liters per hundred kilometers.

But, when using two types of fuel, this figure can be significantly reduced.

The gasoline consumption of the Gazelle ZMZ 405 per 100 km is approximately twelve liters. But this indicator is relative, since it may change under different operating conditions.

Average fuel consumption on the highway is within the stated standards, since here it is possible to adhere to the speed limit. And if your car is not too loaded, and you adhere to all the rules for using additional devices, then you should not worry about significant fuel consumption.

For example, Gazelle business, due to the introduction of more advanced technologies, has reduced fuel consumption by more than five percent. And in a Gazelle car with a Euro engine, due to the increase in engine volume, fuel is consumed even less,

in comparison with other models.

Modifications of ZMZ Engine ZMZ-405

• 12.5 liters per 100 km in the urban cycle;
• 10.4 liters per 100 km in the extra-urban cycle;
• 11.9 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle.

Good day Guys, please tell me I bought a Gazelle 3302 2008 for 405 euros 3 I installed gas I found out that the consumption was very high, about 28 liters And there were second failures The check does not light up I contacted the old owner about what I did and what I didn’t Turn out it was 5 months.
