An automatic transmission fuel consumption of 8 liters is considered normal. For more information on fuel consumption, please refer to the following: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for cars: compact cars consume 6-10 liters; midsize cars consume 8-12 liters; and large cars consume 12-18 liters. How to save fuel: Maintain good driving habits: Different driving habits can affect fuel consumption. During driving, frequent sudden acceleration or deceleration can increase fuel consumption by 5%-10% compared to normal. Shift gears frequently: Switch to different gears according to different road conditions. For example, when going uphill, if you do not switch to L gear or low gear, the car's fuel consumption will increase. Maintain a steady speed: Most cars have optimal fuel efficiency at speeds between 60-80 km/h. If you can maintain a steady speed while driving, the car's fuel consumption will reach its best state.

I've been driving automatic transmission cars for many years and have tried many different brands. Whether 8 liters per 100 kilometers is considered high fuel consumption really depends on the specific situation. For my 1.6L compact sedan, driving in the city with air conditioning on usually consumes around 7.5 to 8 liters, which I think is quite normal. But a Corolla with the same displacement can achieve over 6 liters, so 8 liters would be considered high for that model. As for SUVs, my family's 2.0L SUV starts at 10 liters, making 8 liters absolutely fuel-efficient for an SUV. The key factors are engine displacement and vehicle type - exceeding 8 liters for a 1.5L small car might be concerning, while 8 liters is excellent for larger displacement vehicles. Road conditions also make a big difference - 10 liters is normal in city traffic jams, while highway driving can reduce it to 6 liters.

Is It Illegal to Modify the Accelerator Pedal?

It is not illegal, but it must be done at an authorized 4S shop. It is best not to modify it privately because individuals do not have as much understanding of the car's structure as professional technicians, and problems can easily arise during private modifications. Choosing an accelerator pedal: If you frequently press the accelerator to the floor, choose a floor-mounted accelerator pedal; otherwise, it doesn't matter. The accelerator pedal is a device on the internal combustion engine that controls the fuel supply. Made of aluminum alloy, it increases the contact area vertically to give the driver better control over the accelerator, adding comfort to driving.

Therefore, it is essential to obey traffic rules and avoid speeding. New regulations on penalty points for motorcycle violations: Motorcycle and car driver's licenses are combined. Whether it's a motorcycle violation or a car violation, the points are deducted from the driver's record. There is no concept of deducting points from the car or the motorcycle separately. This is because a driver can only have one driver's license, although it may cover multiple vehicle types. A driver can cancel one of the vehicle types, but the total points available are only 12.
