Is the 2013 Buick Excelle Fuel-Consuming?
2 Answers
The 2013 Buick Excelle has relatively high fuel consumption, with the high-end version consuming more fuel than the low-end version. How to reduce vehicle fuel consumption: Car adjustments and maintenance affect engine performance, driving resistance, and fuel consumption. Gentle and smooth driving is the most fuel-efficient. During the starting phase, avoid stepping hard on the accelerator. The correct method is to accelerate smoothly, and after reaching a certain speed, maintain a constant speed as much as possible. Insufficient tire pressure can significantly increase rolling resistance, and tire misalignment or excessive wear may also increase fuel consumption. Car maintenance: Regularly replace spark plugs, pay attention to fuel quality, clean carbon deposits, replace the oxygen sensor every 80,000 to 110,000 kilometers, frequently check tire pressure and wear, and replace the battery periodically.
As an owner of a 2013 Buick Excelle for several years, I consider its fuel consumption to be at a moderate level—not particularly fuel-guzzling but not exactly fuel-efficient either. During daily city driving with frequent stops at traffic lights, my actual measured fuel consumption is around 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers; on highways, it drops to about 7 liters. The key factor is driving habits—if I gently press the accelerator and avoid sudden acceleration and braking, I can save a significant amount on fuel costs. Additionally, the Excelle is relatively heavy, so fuel consumption tends to be higher in congested traffic, but overall, it's still acceptable. Regular maintenance, such as changing the engine oil and air filter, can extend engine life and optimize fuel efficiency. If fuel consumption is a concern, I recommend trying eco-driving mode. Based on my experience, driving gently can easily save a few hundred yuan on monthly fuel expenses, which is more practical than buying a new car.
