Buick cars are relatively more fuel-consuming. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Small displacement with large vehicle weight, which means a small engine pulling a heavy car, naturally leading to higher fuel consumption. Many Buick models fall into this category, as they often use 1.6L engines to cater to domestic family needs while the vehicles themselves are heavy, forcing the engine to operate at high RPMs, thus consuming more fuel; 2. Outdated engine and transmission technology, with some models still using 4-speed transmissions, which naturally leads to higher fuel consumption. More related information is as follows: 1. The dimensions of the Buick Excelle are: length 4587mm, width 1798mm, height 1463mm, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. 2. The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan launched by Buick, and compared to the previous generation, the dimensions of this model have not changed significantly, with only some minor adjustments to the exterior details.

Does Parking on a Slope Overnight Damage the Car?

Parking on an uneven slope for a short period of time will not have any significant impact on the car, so leaving the car on an uneven surface overnight is generally fine. However, if the car is parked on an uneven surface or slope for an extended period, it can cause damage. This is because parking in such a manner results in uneven weight distribution, with one side of the car bearing more weight than the other. Over time, this imbalance can alter the car's body structure and affect its normal operation. The long-term effects of parking on a slope include: 1. **Car Frame Deformation**: The car's doors and hood are numerous, and the body's manufacturing tolerances are strict. Parking on a slope causes the entire body to tilt, leading to uneven stress distribution and potential deformation. Prolonged exposure to such conditions can result in irreversible frame deformation, which may even affect the normal opening and closing of doors. 2. **Impact on Tires**: Tires bear the entire weight of the car. Parking on a slope causes uneven tire wear or deformation due to uneven weight distribution. Over time, this accelerates tire damage. 3. **Impact on the Suspension System**: The car's suspension system includes shock absorbers, springs, and anti-roll bars. When parked on a slope, the shock absorbers are not engaged, but the springs and anti-roll bars remain under tension. Long-term parking on a slope can lead to uneven fatigue in the springs on either side, reducing their performance and lifespan.

Can 98 and 95 Octane Gasoline Be Mixed?

No, they cannot be mixed. Mixing gasoline can easily damage the car's engine. Additionally, when choosing the gasoline octane rating, do not select one lower than the manufacturer's specified rating, as this may cause issues such as insufficient power and poor acceleration in the vehicle. Below is relevant information: 1. Gasoline with different octane ratings has different levels of octane. The higher the octane rating, the higher the octane value, and gasoline with a higher octane value has better anti-knock properties. 2. Since the nationwide implementation of the China V emission standards, the fuel octane ratings have been redefined. The original 93 and 97 octane gasoline have been replaced with 92 and 95 octane gasoline, and 98 octane gasoline has been added. 95 octane gasoline indicates that it contains 95% octane, while 98 octane gasoline contains 98%. The octane rating of fuel to be used in a car is determined by the compression ratio of the car's engine cylinders. 3. Cars with a compression ratio between 8.5 and 9.5 generally use 92 or 95 octane gasoline; cars with a compression ratio greater than 9.5 should use 98 octane gasoline.

What Causes the Inability to Accelerate When Going Uphill?

Here are the reasons why a car cannot accelerate when going uphill: 1. Poor fuel quality. When there are too many impurities or excessive water in the fuel, it can lead to insufficient power. Moreover, low-quality fuel can easily clog components with small holes or filtration functions, such as the fuel pump filter, gasoline filter, and fuel injectors, resulting in poor fuel supply and reduced engine performance. 2. Severe carbon buildup. Excessive carbon deposits in the throttle valve and intake pipes can restrict airflow, preventing gasoline from burning completely, which naturally leads to insufficient power and, to some extent, increased fuel consumption. Clogged fuel injectors can result in poor fuel atomization or even a complete failure to inject fuel, causing a misfire and reducing the engine's output power. 3. Damaged ignition coil. A damaged ignition coil can prevent a cylinder from igniting and functioning properly, leading to a misfire and insufficient power, accompanied by engine shaking. If the ignition coil is damaged, it should be replaced promptly. 4. Dirty gasoline filter. A gasoline filter that hasn't been replaced for a long time can fail to filter the gasoline properly. In severe cases, the filter may become clogged, commonly resulting in the car stalling easily and frequently failing to start.

What reference points should be observed for left reverse parking?

Left reverse parking requires observing the steering wheel turning point and the reference point for direction correction. Below are detailed techniques for reverse parking: 1. Identify the starting point: Taking right reverse parking as an example, the vehicle should maintain a distance of 1.2-1.8 meters from the left boundary line at the starting position. The steering wheels must be straight, and the vehicle body should be parallel to the left boundary line. When reversing, use the lower edge of the left rearview mirror as a reference. When they align, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. 2. Control the corner point: Watch the right rearview mirror. When the parking corner point is visible, observe the changing distance between the corner point and the vehicle body. If the distance is less than 30 cm, turn the steering wheel back halfway and continue reversing. Once the vehicle body enters the parking space and aligns parallel with the parking lines, turn the steering wheel back one full turn. If the distance is not less than 30 cm, do not turn the steering wheel back. Continue reversing until the vehicle body is parallel with the parking lines, then turn the steering wheel back one and a half turns at once. 3. Align the stopping point: The stopping point is where the vehicle stops after entering the parking space. The reference method is the same as for the starting point. When the lower edge of the left mirror aligns with the shoulder line of the parking space, stop the vehicle.

What is the working principle of an engine ignition coil?

The ignition coil is essentially a transformer that operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It converts the 6-volt low-voltage current from the battery or magneto into a high-voltage current ranging from 11,000 to 15,000 volts. The ignition coil primarily consists of a low-voltage coil (also known as the primary coil), a high-voltage coil (also known as the secondary coil), and an iron core. The low-voltage coil is wound with thicker copper enameled wire and has fewer turns. One end of this coil is connected to the power source, while the other end is linked to the circuit switch (breaker). The high-voltage coil, on the other hand, is wound with finer copper enameled wire and has many more turns. One end of this coil is connected to the spark plug, and the other end is grounded to the vehicle body. Below is a brief introduction to the ignition coil: 1. Function: It transforms low-voltage direct current into high-voltage electricity, which can reach tens of thousands of volts, and uses the spark plug in the cylinder to ionize and break down the air, generating an electric spark. 2. Transformer: Ordinary transformers operate at a fixed frequency of 50Hz, also known as power frequency transformers. In contrast, the ignition coil operates in a pulsed manner and can be considered a pulse transformer. It repeatedly stores and releases energy at varying frequencies depending on the engine's speed. When the primary coil is connected to the power source, a strong magnetic field is generated around it as the current increases, and the iron core stores this magnetic field energy.
