A new car consuming 20L per 100 kilometers is a normal phenomenon, as the higher fuel consumption of new vehicles is often directly related to driving habits. The same car can yield different fuel consumption figures when driven by different people. Long-term urban driving and short-distance trips can result in higher fuel consumption. It's advisable to avoid sudden braking and flooring the accelerator, reduce the vehicle's load weight, and anticipate road conditions in advance to minimize braking frequency and distance, which are effective ways to lower fuel consumption. Advanced automotive technology plays a crucial role in fuel consumption: the vehicle's own weight, its aerodynamics, and the engine's thermal efficiency are three key automotive technologies related to fuel consumption. Good vehicle condition is fundamental to fuel efficiency: in addition to maintaining the car's cleanliness, proper maintenance is essential, such as regularly greasing wheel hub bearings, replacing the air filter element periodically, and promptly checking the condition of the car's brakes. Incorrect driving habits can lead to a significant increase in fuel consumption: as cars become more common in households, the number of non-professional drivers in China has grown, and some drivers' poor habits can cause fuel consumption to rise. Road conditions greatly determine a car's fuel consumption: driving in urban conditions can increase fuel consumption by 20% compared to driving on a test track. The biggest factors affecting fuel consumption in city driving are frequent starts, stops, gear changes, and acceleration and deceleration caused by traffic congestion. Driving on poor road surfaces also increases fuel consumption.

What does drafting in racing mean?

Drafting means that when following closely behind another car, the leading car blocks the wind resistance for the trailing car, reducing pressure and creating a tendency to accelerate. Here is additional information: 1. Drafting: Drafting refers to the phenomenon where a racing car creates a high-pressure zone at the front and a low-pressure vacuum zone at the rear due to airflow separation during high-speed driving. The pressure difference between the front and rear is a key source of aerodynamic drag. 2. Turbulence: The design of a race car's spoiler is based on undisturbed airflow conditions, and wind tunnel testing is conducted under normal driving conditions. However, when following another car, the airflow from the leading car's body creates turbulence for the trailing car. This can directly cause the front spoiler of the trailing car to lose effectiveness, meaning the front wheels of the trailing car lose some grip, which can easily lead to loss of control.

Will points be deducted if the handbrake is not held for 3 seconds in Subject 2?

Typically, no points will be deducted if the handbrake is not held for 3 seconds in Subject 2. Here is a brief introduction to Subject 2: 1. Test items: The C1 and C2 license tests include five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curved path. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skill test. 2. Test content: The A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 license tests include items such as stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, driving on a curved path, turning at a right angle, passing through a narrow gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on undulating roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated scenarios like highways, continuous sharp mountain curves, tunnels, rainy and foggy weather, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

Can an 8kg Washing Machine Fit into a Sedan?

An 8kg washing machine can generally fit into a sedan's trunk. The typical dimensions of a car trunk are: width (1000cm-1200cm), height (400cm-550cm), and depth (900cm-1100cm). For most household sedans, especially those priced below 100,000 RMB (three-box cars), the trunk space is relatively small, approximately 450 liters. Here are some additional related considerations for loading items into a sedan's trunk: 1. Avoid placing valuables: Many business owners tend to keep high-end cigarettes, alcohol, or cash in their trunks for business exchanges and social engagements. However, this behavior can attract the attention of criminals, leading to potential financial losses if not careful. 2. Avoid perishable items: Some car owners may bring back food items like seafood or eggs from trips. However, due to poor air circulation in the trunk, storing such food for extended periods can result in unpleasant odors that may contaminate the car. 3. Avoid flammable or explosive items: Placing items like fireworks in the trunk poses a significant risk. During driving, the movement of the trunk can cause collisions with the fireworks, potentially leading to spontaneous combustion. In minor cases, this can damage the car, while in severe cases, it may endanger personal safety.

What are the body dimensions of the Volkswagen Jetta?

Volkswagen Jetta's body dimensions are 4419mm, 1841mm, and 1616mm, which are official data. The length of the Volkswagen Jetta refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The Volkswagen Jetta is equipped with a manual transmission, with a maximum power of 110kW, a maximum torque of 250Nm, a maximum power speed of 6600 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 3000 rpm. There are relevant national regulations on vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that in the national standard, the significance of vehicle width data lies in providing enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.

Where is the VIN number located on the JAC Refine M3?

The VIN number of the JAC Refine M3 is located at the lower left corner of the front windshield, in front of the car's radiator frame, and on the nameplate of the radiator frame. It can also be found on the insurance policy, vehicle registration certificate, engine, and other locations. In addition to the methods mentioned above, the engine number can also be checked in the following four ways: The vehicle registration certificate usually prints the engine number, generally located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will record the engine number; The purchase invoice will record the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will record the engine number.

What is the reason for the FAW J6 not getting enough fuel when climbing a slope?

FAW J6 not getting enough fuel when climbing a slope may be caused by clogged fuel injectors, fuel line leaks, reduced fuel pump power, or a blocked fuel filter. The feeling of powerlessness in the car is mainly because the engine does not have enough fuel when climbing a slope, resulting in decreased combustion efficiency. Introduction to FAW J6: The FAW J6 platform's engine, transmission, and drive axle, the three major assemblies, have reached international standards, setting a new benchmark for the development of commercial vehicles in China. The core power of the 2490 series is the independently developed 6DN and 6DL engines, which meet international standards, with power ranging from 280 to 460 horsepower. Among them, the 6DN engine is one of the engines with the largest displacement and torque in China. Power aspects: The main power for the 2250 series is the 130-280 horsepower series engine introduced from Germany's DUETZ company. The transmission assembly is the FS10209 transmission jointly produced by FAW and the U.S. EATON.
