Fuel consumption of the 2009 Buick Regal 2.0?
2 Answers
The 2009 Buick Regal 2.0 has three models. The 2009 Buick Regal 2.0T Luxury Sport Edition, equipped with a 220-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.6L per 100 km. The 2009 Buick Regal 2.0L Elite Edition and Comfort Edition, both equipped with a 147-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.8L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity of the 2009 Buick Regal 2.0 varies by model. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 220-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 70L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 70/9.6*100=729 km. For models equipped with a 147-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 70L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 70/8.8*100=795 km. Automobile fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I used to drive a 2009 Buick Regal 2.0, with an average urban fuel consumption of 12-14 liters per 100 kilometers, which could drop to around 9 liters on the highway. This car is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine, and although the displacement isn't large, it's particularly fuel-thirsty in traffic jams. You need to pay attention to your driving habits—hard acceleration and frequent braking can cause fuel consumption to skyrocket. In summer, when the air conditioning is on, an additional 1-2 liters is quite normal. Regular maintenance like oil changes and cleaning the fuel filter can help stabilize fuel consumption; I usually do these, and the car runs relatively smoothly. If you commute in the city year-round, the fuel expenses can add up significantly.
