Whether a fuel consumption of 20L is normal for a new car depends on the model. For some high-displacement models, a consumption of 20L can be considered normal. However, if ordinary family cars show such fuel consumption, it is not quite normal. Actual fuel consumption is related to many factors, such as season, temperature, road conditions, driving habits, and vehicle load. The following are related introductions to car fuel consumption: Constant-speed fuel consumption: refers to the fuel economy indicator when the car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. Road cycle fuel consumption: the fuel economy indicator measured when the car drives in repeated cycles according to specified speed and time regulations on the road, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The speed and time regulations specify each cycle to include various driving conditions, and also specify the shifting time, braking and stopping time, as well as the values of driving speed, acceleration, and braking deceleration for each cycle. Therefore, the fuel economy measured by this method is closer to the actual driving conditions of the car.

Where are the reinforcement ribs located on a car?

The reinforcement ribs of a car are mostly located on the roof, engine hood, and doors. The simplest form of a reinforcement rib is a rectangular column attached to the surface of the product. However, to meet certain production or structural requirements, the shape and size of the reinforcement ribs may need to be modified. Reinforcement ribs are generally found on some exterior cover panels. They enhance the strength of these cover panels, allowing automakers to reduce their thickness and weight, which contributes to the overall lightweighting of the vehicle. However, reinforcement ribs are usually not found on the body frame because the occupant compartment of the body frame is made of high-strength materials. Auxiliary functions of reinforcement ribs: During the assembly of seat belts, they may twist. To prevent this, some designs use holes with pins for positioning, while others may incorporate reinforcement ribs for this purpose. Reinforcement ribs can also be used for paint process drainage. By designing 2-3 reinforcement rib features with an R6 cross-section at the bottom of the inner sill panel, along with other liquid inlet holes, effective liquid flow can be achieved during the electrophoretic painting process in the paint shop, increasing the thickness of the paint film inside the cavity.

When will the provincial boundary toll stations on highways be abolished?

Vehicles no longer need to stop and pay tolls at provincial boundary stations on highways, which can completely solve the congestion problem at provincial boundaries, significantly improve traffic efficiency, and reduce pollution emissions. The following is relevant information about highway toll collection: 1. The basis for calculating toll amounts: The payable toll amount for vehicles traveling on highways is calculated by multiplying the corresponding toll standard for different vehicles by their actual mileage. Vehicles eligible for relevant preferential policies will have corresponding discount amounts deducted during toll collection. 2. Highway ETC gantry system toll calculation: The toll amount for vehicles passing through a single ETC gantry is calculated based on its jurisdiction mileage and toll standard, and rounded to the nearest "cent" according to the "rounding" rule. After completing highway travel, the sum of toll amounts calculated by passing ETC gantries constitutes the payable toll amount. 3. Precise toll calculation for highway vehicles: After abolishing provincial boundary toll stations, both ETC and manual payment vehicles will be precisely charged according to actual travel paths. Among them, ETC vehicles are charged based on payable amounts at passed ETC gantries and relevant preferential policies, with transaction amounts rounded to the nearest "cent". MTC vehicles are charged based on the sum of payable amounts at passed ETC gantries and relevant preferential policies. When making manual payments at exit mixed lanes or manual toll lanes, transaction amounts are rounded to the nearest "yuan". If the total toll for a single trip is less than one yuan, it will be charged as one yuan.
