How many kilometers can a full tank of gas last for the Trumpchi GS8?
2 Answers
Trumpchi GS8 can travel 640 kilometers on a full tank of gas. Reasons for increased fuel consumption: Low tire pressure will increase fuel consumption. Dirt and grease on the engine surface can affect engine heat dissipation, thereby leading to increased fuel consumption. Carbon deposits in the transmission. Carbon deposits in the transmission can reduce engine power, which to some extent accompanies an increase in fuel consumption, as achieving the same power as before the carbon deposit effect requires increasing throttle opening and corresponding fuel supply. Functions of the fuel tank: The main function of the fuel tank is to store fuel. Additionally, it helps dissipate heat from the fuel (or retain heat in the fuel when the surrounding temperature is low), release gases mixed in the fuel, and allow impurities in the fuel to settle.
I've been driving the GAC GS8 for several years. This car has a fairly large fuel tank, around 68 liters. The official fuel consumption is between 7.5 to 10L per 100km, depending on driving habits and road conditions. A full tank theoretically can cover 700 to 800 kilometers, but in reality, during city traffic jams, fuel consumption spikes and may only cover a little over 500 kilometers; steady driving on highways can get close to 750 kilometers. Many factors affect this: maintaining tire pressure at 230kPa is most fuel-efficient, using the air conditioning heavily consumes more energy, and avoid overloading. I often drive long distances and refuel every 650 kilometers on average, which is quite consistent. Regular maintenance like changing the engine oil and air filters can also improve mileage. In summary, a full tank can vary between 500-800 kilometers, making it suitable for planning long trips to avoid the hassle of refueling midway.
