* Operating conditions: The type of work being done (digging, loading, etc.), the soil type, the ambient temperature, and the operator's skill all impact fuel usage.
* Engine load: The excavator's engine will consume more fuel when under heavy load.
* Maintenance: Proper maintenance, including clean air filters and efficient engine operation, can significantly impact fuel efficiency.
* Specific model and configuration: There might be different engine options or optional equipment that affect fuel consumption.
