Half a tank of fuel can approximately drive 20 to 30 kilometers. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: Summer Air Conditioning System Check: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant reason for high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance will require increasing the fan speed and lowering the temperature to achieve a cooling effect. Frequent Hard Braking: Frequent hard braking is the main cause of persistently high car fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. Small Displacement Cars Should Not Use Air Conditioning Too Aggressively: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside the car. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.

How many kilometers can you drive with half a tank of fuel? I think it depends on the specific car condition and personal habits. Assuming your car has a 50-liter fuel tank, half a tank would be about 25 liters. Based on my experience, an average compact car consumes around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, so 25 liters would allow you to drive approximately 312.5 kilometers. However, remember that actual driving conditions are affected by various factors. For example, cruising on the highway might reduce fuel consumption to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, increasing the range to 350 kilometers. But if you're stuck in city traffic, fuel consumption could spike to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, dropping the range to just over 200 kilometers. Vehicle type also makes a big difference—SUVs consume more fuel than compact cars, naturally resulting in fewer kilometers. For safety, I recommend planning to refuel when you're at half a tank and not waiting until the low fuel light comes on. Also, remember to regularly check tire pressure and maintain your car properly to keep fuel consumption stable.

Does a Vehicle Having Been in an Accident Affect Its Sale?

A vehicle that has been in an accident will definitely affect its sale. During the vehicle transaction process, it is common for a third party to conduct an inspection of the vehicle. If the inspection reveals that the vehicle has been involved in an accident, it will certainly impact the vehicle's price, leading to a reduction. The currently effective national safety technical standards for motor vehicles are the "Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Items and Methods" jointly issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China and the Standardization Administration of China. Chapters 4, 6, and 7 of this standard are mandatory and must be complied with. It explicitly requires online queries for accident and violation information of the inspected vehicle. For vehicles involved in unresolved traffic violations or road accidents, the vehicle owner should be reminded to promptly handle the matter with the traffic management department of the public security authority. Unresolved traffic accidents can affect the vehicle's annual inspection, thereby impacting its normal sale. China's "Used Car Circulation Management Measures" stipulate that after the completion of a used car transaction, the seller must promptly deliver the vehicle, license plate, and legal certificates and documents to the buyer. Legal certificates and documents mainly include the motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle driving license, valid motor vehicle safety technical inspection compliance mark, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee payment certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment certificate, and vehicle insurance policy. If a used car lacks the aforementioned legal certificates, it is classified as a prohibited sale vehicle and cannot undergo transfer registration. In practice, there have been cases where vehicles were seized by public security authorities due to the lack of a motor vehicle safety technical inspection compliance mark, making transfer impossible. Consumers can demand contract termination, vehicle return, and refund.

What may happen when driving at high speed with low tire pressure?

Tire blowout. When driving at high speed with low tire pressure, the tire may experience wave-like deformation and a rise in temperature, which can easily lead to a blowout. Here is some information about tire blowouts: 1. Handling method: Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times and avoid sudden steering movements; Do not slam on the brakes immediately after a blowout occurs; If the situation permits and is under control, take 0.5 seconds to turn on the hazard lights, then immediately resume holding the steering wheel firmly. 2. Precautions: It is crucial to check the rearview mirror for other vehicles; If a blowout occurs on a highway, only apply light braking to slow down after the speed drops below 100 km/h.

At What Age Can Children Use Safety Seats?

Generally, children over six months old and under eight years old, weighing less than 36 kilograms, can use safety seats. The new national traffic regulations do not mandate the use of child safety seats, but some regions have specific rules requiring children to use safety seats when traveling in vehicles. For example: 1. Hainan: The "Hainan Province Road Traffic Violation Codes and Handling Regulations Manual" stipulates that fines will be imposed for driving non-motor vehicles carrying preschool children without using safety seats. 2. Shanghai: The "Shanghai Minors Protection Ordinance," implemented on March 1, 2014, stipulates that minors under 12 years old are not allowed to sit in the front passenger seat; minors under 4 years old must be equipped with and correctly use child safety seats when riding in family passenger vehicles.
