The car is a convenient and practical means of movement. By doing shopping, the owner is primarily interested in the question - fuel consumption at Mercedes Gelendwagen per 100 km and its technical characteristics. In 1979, the first generation of Gelendvagen Gla class was issued, which was originally considered a military car. Already in 1990, the second advanced modification of Gelendwagen was published, which was a more expensive alternative option. But she did not give way to comfort to other brands.

But consumption depends on many factors:

• motor condition;
• maneuverability ride;
• road coating;
• car mileage;
• technical characteristics of the machine;
• fuel quality.

Almost all owners know the real fuel consumption on Gelendvagen and want to reduce it or leave the former. This further will talk about it.

Engine and its characteristics Gelendvagen

For the owner of the car it is not a secret that the engine volume directly affects fuel consumption. Therefore, this nuance is very important. IN The first generation Gelendvagen has such basic types of engine:

• motor volume 2.8 gasoline - 9-17 liters per 100 km;
