Driving on highways is slightly more fuel-efficient than driving in urban areas because the speed is more consistent, allowing the engine to operate efficiently. In contrast, frequent stops and starts in urban driving can easily increase fuel consumption. Here is more information about vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption includes constant-speed fuel consumption and road cycle fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a vehicle travels at a constant speed on good road conditions; road cycle fuel consumption is the fuel economy indicator measured when a vehicle follows specified speed and time cycles on roads. 2. Incorrect driving habits and frequent stops and starts can increase fuel consumption during driving.

How to Check if the Coolant is Sufficient

Methods to check if the coolant is sufficient: 1. Park the car on level ground and wait for the engine to cool down; 2. Put the car in ignition mode; 3. Check the water temperature: Since the cooling system is pressurized, the radiator cap can only be opened after the engine has completely cooled down. The coolant level should be between the upper and lower limits for normal operation. Coolant is a crucial fluid for the engine, serving antifreeze functions while also preventing metal component corrosion and rubber part aging. Additionally, coolant helps prevent and reduce scale formation during circulation. Therefore, it is essential to regularly monitor whether the coolant level is adequate.
