Private modifications such as altering the engine's fuel injection quantity, reprogramming the car's computer, or adding turbochargers are all prohibited. Converting from a single exhaust to a dual exhaust is not allowed, as it may also change the engine's parameters. No matter how you modify the engine, it should not compromise the vehicle's balance and safety, and modifications must be made within the scope permitted by regulations.

What is the fuel consumption of the Hyundai Sonata?

Hyundai Sonata's fuel consumption is 5.6-6.9L/100KM. The currently available Hyundai Sonata models include the 2020 facelift 270TGDi DCT GL Leading Edition, 2020 270TGDi DCT GLS Elite Edition, 2020 facelift 380TGDi Automatic GS Smart Edition, 2020 380TGDi Automatic GLS Luxury Edition, and 2020 380TGDi Automatic TOP Flagship Edition. Among vehicles in the same class, the K5 KaiKu 2021 270T CVVD Fashion Edition has a combined fuel consumption of 5.6L/100KM; the Malibu XL 2022 535T Automatic Sharp Edition has a combined fuel consumption of 6.3L/100KM; and the Peugeot 508 2022 508L 360THP PureTech Pioneer Edition has a combined fuel consumption of 6.0L/100KM. Factors affecting vehicle fuel consumption: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before traffic lights can increase fuel consumption. Vehicle characteristics: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger engines typically produce more power and require more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also tend to have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed.

What brand is CLASSE tire?

CLASSE is a tire brand under Nexen, produced in Qingdao. The maintenance methods for car tires are as follows: 1. Tire pressure must be checked monthly: Under-inflation and over-inflation will cause abnormal tire wear, shorten tire life, increase fuel consumption, and even raise the risk of a blowout. Tire experts recommend checking tire pressure once a month to ensure it is at the correct level. Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. You can use a tire pressure gauge or a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to check the pressure. The vehicle manual will list the standard tire pressure for various load conditions. This information is also usually found on a label on the driver's side door. The standard tire pressure is approximately 2.2~2.6 bar. Over-inflation can increase tire wear and may cause a blowout, while under-inflation increases fuel consumption and makes the ride bumpier. Generally, tire pressure can be slightly lower in summer and slightly higher in winter. 2. Always pay attention to the tire wear indicators: The wear indicators are located in the main tread grooves and appear as small raised rubber bars with a trapezoidal cross-section. When the tread wears down to the level of these indicators, the tire must be replaced. During the rainy season, to prevent hydroplaning, the tread depth should be maintained at least 3mm. 3. Tires have an expiration date: Tires are made of rubber and will age over time. The typical lifespan of a tire is 4-5 years. After this period, the rubber begins to degrade, reducing tire performance. For example, a code like "9MCR0810" indicates the production date, where the last four digits "0810" mean the tire was produced in the 8th week of 2010. 4. Regular tire rotation is important: If the vehicle pulls to one side, the steering feels heavy, or there is uneven tire wear, these are signs that a wheel alignment is needed. Due to steering, front tires wear faster than rear tires. To extend tire life, regular rotation is recommended to ensure even wear. Auto repair experts suggest rotating the tires every 8,000 km for front-wheel-drive vehicles.

How Many Kilometers Can 25 Liters of Fuel Run?

25 liters of fuel can approximately run 500-600 kilometers. The following are precautions when refueling a car: 1. Avoid Overfilling the Tank: If the gasoline is filled too full, the high temperatures in summer, combined with the heat generated by the car itself, cause the gasoline to expand and contract. To prevent the fuel tank from bursting due to the expansion of gasoline, there is a vent hole on top. If the tank is overfilled, gasoline may overflow through the vent hole, which can lead to spontaneous combustion upon encountering an open flame, with unimaginable consequences. Additionally, gasoline overflowing through the vent hole can drip onto the car body, causing some corrosion. Overfilling the tank can also easily clog the vent hole. Once the vent hole is blocked, the pressure inside the tank will drop below normal, leading to poor fuel supply or even no fuel supply. Overfilling the tank also increases the car's weight, thereby increasing fuel consumption. 2. Avoid Refueling Only When the Fuel Light Comes On: While driving, always pay attention to the fuel gauge. When the pointer shows a quarter of the fuel remaining, it's time to refuel. It's best not to wait until the fuel light comes on. Modern cars use electronic fuel pumps that require gasoline for lubrication and cooling. Frequently waiting until the fuel light comes on to refuel can prevent the fuel pump from getting proper lubrication and cooling, ultimately reducing its lifespan. Moreover, if the tank is left empty for too long, the temperature difference inside and outside the tank can cause moisture to form inside, corroding the tank, affecting fuel quality, and increasing the engine's burden. 3. Choose the Right Time to Refuel: Avoid refueling at noon. Due to thermal expansion and contraction, the volume of gasoline increases with rising temperatures and decreases when temperatures drop. Since refueling is billed by volume, to save money, it's better to refuel in the early morning or evening.

Should the Regal 1.5T use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Regal 1.5T should use 92 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, the Regal 1.5T can also find this information on the fuel tank cap, which will be clearly marked. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the gasoline grade can no longer be solely determined by the compression ratio. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline. This is because, apart from the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Regal 1.5T occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If it's mild knocking, it only increases noise without significant engine damage. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.
