How many kilometers can a GL8 run on a full tank of gas?

GL8 can run about 785 kilometers on a full tank of gas, and the fuel tank capacity is the maximum safe capacity of the fuel tank announced by the manufacturer. The fuel tank volume (L) refers to the size of the fuel tank volume, which measures the ability of a car to carry fuel. The fuel tank volume determines the driving range. For two cars with exactly the same engine, the larger the fuel tank, the farther the car can run. Driving habits are the most important factor in the power consumption of the vehicle's power system, and are closely related to throttle opening, discharge current, driving conditions, and speed. Pay attention to the discharge current and maintain a low and stable output of the discharge current, and the vehicle will be relatively energy-efficient. For example, gently and lightly press the accelerator pedal, use emergency brakes less, it is recommended to use ECO mode and make full use of the vehicle's energy recovery function, and use SPORT mode as little as possible. The heavy use of electrical equipment and the comfort of the air conditioning have a certain impact on the driving range, but when the customer uses power-consuming equipment, the total battery power and discharge capacity remain unchanged, so it is necessary to understand the power consumption of the discharge equipment and reduce the pure requirements for the driving range. When the vehicle is driven with AC or heating on, the driving range will be reduced. Usually, the power consumption of the air conditioning will account for 15% to 40% of the total battery power, depending on the usage time and the air conditioning gear. PTC heating is more power-consuming than AC. Vehicle load, the personnel in the vehicle or the heavy objects carried on the vehicle, or the low tire pressure will consume more power to overcome the resistance of the vehicle operation, resulting in increased power consumption during driving and shortening the driving range.
I've driven the GL8 for quite a long time. A full tank is about 70 to 75 liters. Under normal city driving conditions, the fuel consumption is around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, so it's no problem to run 700 to 750 kilometers. If the road conditions are good, such as driving more on highways, the fuel consumption can drop below 8 liters, and the range can exceed 800 kilometers. But in actual driving, like when I'm stuck in city traffic, the fuel consumption goes up. Additionally, increased load also affects the range, so I usually estimate around 700 kilometers before refueling to avoid the embarrassment of running out of gas halfway.
My GL8 has a fuel tank capacity of 75 liters, and on a full tank, it can cover a range of 650 to 750 kilometers. I find this range quite realistic. Driving habits play a crucial role. For instance, I usually drive gently, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, which keeps my fuel consumption stable at around 9 liters per 100 kilometers. However, during long-distance trips or extended drives, I make it a habit to check the fuel level every 500 kilometers. After all, road conditions can be unpredictable, and factors like using the heater in cold weather or the air conditioning in summer can increase fuel consumption. Refueling earlier ensures safety and reliability.
