Average fuel consumption is 7.0-12.00 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are some fuel consumption-related introductions: 1. Habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly related to driving habits and road conditions. Avoid heavy acceleration; gradual acceleration at startup is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator heavily when starting, as heavy acceleration consumes 2 to 3 times more fuel than normal speed starts. 2. Braking: Maintaining distance and avoiding frequent braking saves even more fuel. If you don't maintain distance, you'll often need to brake on the road. When braking, automatic transmission vehicles will downshift, requiring the vehicle to accelerate again from a lower gear. Starting from a standstill or in a low gear requires the engine to consume more fuel.

As a young person who frequently drives in the city, I've driven a Ford Focus for several years and found its fuel consumption quite reasonable. In stop-and-go city traffic, it averages around 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite fuel-efficient. However, if you're driving a larger Ford SUV like the Explorer, the fuel consumption will indeed be higher, possibly over 10 liters, depending largely on your driving style and road conditions. I remember once on a long-distance trip, the fuel consumption dropped to around 6 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway, which was super economical. I recommend considering the engine model and driving habits when buying a Ford. Lightly pressing the accelerator and avoiding sudden braking can save a lot of fuel. Also, regular oil changes and engine maintenance can help control fuel consumption increases. Overall, Ford's compact models are quite fuel-efficient and very suitable for daily commuting.

Where is the coolant filling port located in a Land Rover?

Land Rover coolant is located under the hood, in the upper right corner of the engine, behind the headlights. Method for replacing coolant: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose is named for its five connections to various parts, and the coolant flows through it before being distributed to different sections of the car to function. If there is any leakage of coolant in this area, the hose should be replaced or the connections re-secured as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continue adding water to the reservoir so that it continuously flows through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir will have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Note: Remember to remove the heater hose to drain all water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new coolant through the radiator hose, which allows the coolant to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the fluid level will drop. Add more coolant until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

Can I Get a Refund for the Motorcycle Test?

If you have not passed the training for Subject 2, and no training hours have been consumed for the driving school, meaning the instructor's training time has not been occupied, a certain amount of refund can be claimed upon withdrawal. Below is additional information: Introduction to Driving Test Fees: The cost of obtaining a driver's license is divided into two main parts: examination fees and training fees. For examination fees, it mainly depends on whether there is a pass-guarantee clause. If not, it usually covers the full cost of one complete examination. If you pass Subject 1, the fees for Subject 2 and Subject 3 can be refunded. Training fees, however, are charged based on actual circumstances, primarily for Subject 2 and Subject 3, which involve venue costs and instructor training fees. Failure to Complete All Subjects Within Three Years: If you fail to complete all subjects within three years, or only pass Subject 1 and repeatedly fail Subject 2, it is advisable to review the contract signed with the driving school. Generally, a partial refund may be available, but the exact amount depends on the contract terms. Subject 2 is a major examination. If you have attempted it five times without passing, regardless of whether you paid for the retakes or the driving school covered them, the refund upon expiration will still be minimal. This is because Subject 3 involves relatively less training, so the bulk of the fees are for Subject 2 training.

What Causes Tire Vibration at Idle?

Minor tire vibration at idle is normal. Below is additional information: Introduction to Idle Vibration: Idle vibration occurs when the engine is running but the oil supply doesn't keep up promptly, resulting in poor mechanical operating conditions for the engine or issues like poor fuel injector atomization and improper idle adjustment, which cause engine vibration. If noticeable body vibration occurs when starting the vehicle or when the vehicle is stationary with the engine running, it is usually due to severe engine carbon buildup or a dirty throttle body. When there's excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. In this situation, the engine will only start easily once the carbon deposits are saturated with gasoline. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits is drawn into the combustion chamber by the engine's vacuum, enriching the air-fuel mixture again. This fluctuation between lean and rich mixtures causes idle vibration after a cold start. Solutions for Idle Vibration: If the car body vibrates when stationary in N gear, with noticeable seat and steering wheel vibrations, and the vibration is obvious while driving, but the engine power is normal and no engine fault indicator is lit on the dashboard, this is mostly caused by aging, cracking, or oil leakage in the engine mounts. You can check the engine mounts for faults and replace them if necessary.
