Is the Buick Excelle's Fuel Consumption High?
1 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Buick Excelle is 5.3-5.9L/100km. Currently, there are four models of the 2021 Buick Excelle available for sale: the 1.3T automatic mild hybrid entry model and the 1.3T automatic mild hybrid elite model, both with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. The classic 1.5L automatic entry model and the classic 1.5L automatic elite model have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.9L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which are the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.9-7.5L/100km. When driving, the following five tips can help reduce fuel consumption: During the starting process, the vehicle should start in a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration and braking, early braking: When driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine speed and prevent the car from shaking during driving, thereby making the car more fuel-efficient. By estimating road conditions and adopting slow and uniform acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be increased by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep the tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (equivalent to about 0.2 in the metric system relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular vehicle maintenance or inspection: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon deposits (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even cylinder misfires in severe cases); regularly check and replace the air filter if dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per mileage. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance, which in turn increases the resistance the car faces, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
