It is possible to leave a flat tire overnight before repairing it. Here are the specific details: Reasons: Because the tire itself has a rubber base. However, a flat tire is always unsafe and may damage the tire's cord layer. Even if the tire is flat, leaving it overnight still bears the weight of the vehicle, which may cause the tire to deform. Precautions for leaving it overnight: If the tire is left flat overnight, it is not recommended to drive immediately. You should promptly change the tire on the spot or contact a 4S shop or a repair technician to come and replace it. Driving with a flat tire can easily lead to traffic accidents, pose significant safety hazards, damage the tire sidewall, and potentially worsen the tire's damage.

I understand you want to park overnight before getting it repaired, as sometimes immediate action isn't convenient. However, based on experience, I don't recommend this approach. When a vehicle with a flat tire remains stationary overnight, the damaged tire can't bear the weight, potentially causing wheel rim or suspension damage – leading to more severe issues. I've encountered similar cases where overnight parking resulted in warped wheel rims, adding over a thousand yuan to repair costs. Moreover, leaving the car roadside overnight increases risks of theft or weather damage. For safety, immediately change to the spare tire and drive away after a flat. Without a spare, call for roadside assistance towing. Remember: delaying car issues means compromising both finances and safety – early resolution brings peace of mind.

What is the real fuel consumption of the 8th-generation Civic?

The official combined fuel consumption of the 8th-generation Civic is 5.4-6L/100km. Here is an introduction to fuel consumption-related content: Fuel consumption: Large-displacement cars consume as much fuel as family cars. Comparison: A fuel consumption of 6 liters per 100 kilometers, on the same route, a 1.6L car like the Octavia consumes 7 liters. Sports cars usually have much heavier throttle inputs compared to street cars, leading to higher fuel consumption. For example, liter-class sports cars during aggressive acceleration or high-speed runs can have fuel consumption comparable to a 3.0L car's combined fuel consumption. Fuel: Most cars use gasoline, so the energy content of the fuel is the same. The Octavia's relatively higher fuel consumption comes from high aerodynamic drag, a compact structure that leaves little room for fuel-saving technologies, and a design philosophy that emphasizes high-revving power extraction.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 9.5th generation Accord in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Accord 9.5th generation Hybrid 2.0L Ruiku version is 60L. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and an electronic continuously variable transmission (E-CVT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is multi-link independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2021 Camry 2.0E Elite version has a fuel tank capacity of 60L, while the 2021 Regal 552T Elite version has a fuel tank capacity of 55L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit level. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (empty) and F (full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is nearly full.
