BYD Tang fuel version can travel 600 kilometers on a full tank of gas. Here is the relevant introduction of BYD Tang: Appearance: Tang is a medium-sized SUV under BYD, with a wheelbase of 2820 mm, and its length, width, and height are 4870 mm, 1940 mm, and 1720 mm respectively. Configuration: This car is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across the entire series. This engine has 192 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 5500 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is from 1500 to 4000 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.

I've been driving the BYD Tang fuel version for almost two years now, and its 68-liter fuel tank is indeed spacious. In heavy city traffic, the fuel consumption can go up to 12L, giving me about 550 kilometers per tank. However, it's much more economical on highway drives during weekends—cruising at 100 km/h consumes only 8.5L. Last time, after a full tank, I drove 650 kilometers back to my hometown and still had a small segment left. Over these two years, I've discovered a few fuel-saving tips: maintaining tire pressure at 2.5 is most economical, not setting the AC too low in summer, and avoiding cluttering the trunk with unnecessary items. Also, getting a maintenance check and replacing the air filter before long trips can further reduce fuel consumption.

Last time I specifically tested the fuel consumption performance of the BYD Tang: the 68-liter full tank lasted for 620 kilometers before the fuel warning light came on. This data was measured under mixed road conditions, including 30% congested urban areas and 70% ring roads. An interesting finding was that using the eco mode with cruise control saved 0.8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers compared to manual throttle control. The fuel tank is made of resin, which is 15 kg lighter than a steel tank, contributing to long-term fuel efficiency. It's recommended not to wait until the tank is empty to refuel, as this helps with better fuel pump cooling. The key to range lies in driving habits; a single instance of rapid acceleration can increase fuel consumption by 5%.

Based on my 30,000-kilometer driving experience, the real-world range of the Tang fuel version fluctuates between 550-650 kilometers. The biggest variable is air conditioning usage – running the AC continuously in summer directly reduces the range by 80 kilometers. The fuel tank design is very reasonable, with an anti-overflow device at the filler neck, allowing a solid 68-liter refill every time. I've specifically measured the fuel gauge – the last two bars are particularly durable, with 50 kilometers remaining after the warning light comes on. It's recommended to check tire pressure monthly; a 0.2-bar deficiency increases fuel consumption by 3%. Regular throttle body cleaning helps maintain 90% of the new car's fuel efficiency even in older vehicles.

Recently took the whole family on a road trip for a real-world test. With five people and luggage, the highway fuel consumption was 9.2L/100km. The 68L tank theoretically allows 740km range, but actual distance was 680km after deducting idle AC use at service areas. Mountain roads are particularly fuel-intensive - uphill sections showed momentary consumption up to 18L/100km, while downhill sections recharged the battery. For refueling, I recommend Sinopec 95 octane gasoline which gives 30km more per tank than 92 octane. I've developed a habit of having technicians clean the fuel injectors during each maintenance, as less carbon buildup naturally reduces fuel consumption.

The BYD Tang's fuel range is quite unpredictable. With the same tank of gas, my worst mileage was 520 km, while the best reached 690 km. The key factor is temperature – it's particularly fuel-consuming during winter due to longer warm-up times. I reset the odometer after each refuel and noticed the first 300 km are the most fuel-efficient, with consumption increasing afterward. It's advisable not to overfill the tank; stop when the pump clicks, as those extra liters just add unnecessary weight. Before long trips, check the engine compartment – last time, low coolant caused overheating, wasting half a tank of fuel.
