A fuel consumption of over 9 liters per 100 km is relatively fuel-efficient. Generally, compact cars consume between 6 to 10 liters per 100 km; mid-size cars consume 8 to 12 liters per 100 km; and large cars consume 12 to 18 liters per 100 km. SUV fuel consumption: Due to their heavier weight and larger frontal area, SUVs generally have higher fuel consumption compared to sedans. In traffic jams, their fuel consumption can increase even more. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Apart from the inherent characteristics of the car, factors such as the driver's habits, use of electronic devices, road conditions, vehicle load, and travel conditions can all affect fuel consumption. Frequent rapid acceleration or deceleration can increase fuel consumption by approximately 5% to 10% compared to normal driving.

Having driven for over a decade mainly for daily household commuting, I think a fuel consumption of around 9 liters per 100 kilometers is acceptable, but it really depends on the vehicle model and road conditions. For compact cars, the official data usually shows 6 to 8 liters, so 9 liters might be considered high and somewhat fuel-inefficient. For SUVs or larger vehicles, which typically consume over 10 liters, 9 liters would actually be quite fuel-efficient. It's normal for fuel consumption to increase in city traffic jams, while on highways it can drop to around 7 liters. Fuel-saving tips: regularly maintain engine oil, keep tire pressure at 2.5 bar, and avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking, which can save 5% to 10% on fuel costs. At 7 yuan per liter, driving 10,000 kilometers would cost over 6,300 yuan, a significant expense for commuting families that requires careful budgeting. My advice is to check your car’s manual for the rated fuel consumption and compare it with your actual usage.

What are the symptoms of a faulty fuel pump in the Buick Excelle?

Specific symptoms are described as follows: 1. Weak acceleration: The vehicle may experience weak acceleration and jerking when accelerating suddenly. 2. Hard starting: Difficulty in starting the engine, requiring prolonged key turning. 3. Abnormal noises: The vehicle may produce abnormal noises, such as a buzzing sound while driving. 4. Engine issues: The engine warning light may illuminate; the engine may shake. Additional information: Causes of fuel pump damage: 1. Insufficient fuel in the tank: The fuel pump relies on the fuel passing through it for cooling. Without adequate cooling and lubrication, the fuel pump can be damaged. 2. Long-term neglect of gasoline filter cleaning or replacement: Severe blockage in the fuel supply system can strain the fuel pump, leading to damage due to prolonged high-load operation. 3. Poor fuel quality: Impurities in the gasoline can enter the internal bearings of the fuel pump, accelerating bearing wear and causing fuel pump failure.

How long does it take to pick up a Mercedes-Benz CLS?

After completing all the procedures, the car can generally be picked up within a month, but the specific time may also depend on the arrangements of the 4S dealership staff. Pick-up checklist: Inspect the car (do not pay the remaining balance before inspection), pay the remaining balance, issue the invoice and purchase insurance, check all documents, pay taxes and register the license plate. Inspection checklist: Check all vehicle-related documents. When picking up the car, ensure all materials are complete, as missing documents may affect subsequent registration. Inspect the vehicle's exterior. Check for scratches or wear on the paint by parking the car outdoors in good lighting to examine if the paint is even. Verify the production date of the glass. Check the tire wear. Look for obvious signs of wear on the tire surface. New tires usually have intact tread hairs, but manufacturers may have removed them. Also, inspect the undercarriage for scratches to ensure the car wasn’t driven aggressively during transport. Examine the engine compartment for cleanliness and ensure engine oil and other fluids are at proper levels. Test all vehicle functions, such as lights, air conditioning, audio system, etc., to ensure they are working properly.

Is PU Leather More Durable Than Genuine Leather?

Genuine leather is more wear-resistant, has greater tensile strength, is softer, and offers better breathability compared to PU leather. Below is a detailed introduction to genuine leather and PU leather: 1. Genuine Leather: The term "genuine leather" is commonly seen in the leather goods market, serving as a customary designation to distinguish natural leather from synthetic alternatives. In consumers' perception, "genuine leather" also implies authenticity. It is primarily processed from animal hides. Genuine leather comes in a wide variety of types, structures, and qualities, with prices varying significantly. 2. PU Leather: PU is a synthetic material that mimics the texture of genuine leather and is highly durable. Unlike other artificial leathers, PU synthetic leather is used as a substitute for PVC artificial leather and is priced higher than PVC. Chemically, it is closer to genuine leather and does not require plasticizers to achieve softness, so it does not harden or become brittle. Additionally, it offers a rich variety of colors and patterns at a more affordable price than genuine leather, making it popular among consumers.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Yaris X in liters?

Toyota Yaris X has a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters, as officially announced. The recommended fuel grade for the Toyota Yaris X is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 840km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
