I've been driving my Fengxing T5 for almost two years now, and I feel its fuel consumption is neither particularly low nor high. During rush hour traffic in the city, the fuel consumption can soar to over 9 liters per 100 kilometers; on smooth highways, it drops to around 7 liters. On average, I've calculated a combined fuel consumption of about 8.5 liters, which is slightly higher than the official claimed figure. The key factors affecting fuel consumption are my driving habits, such as rapid acceleration and frequent braking, which can increase fuel usage, as well as higher consumption when using air conditioning in summer. The amount of uphill and downhill driving also plays a role, with flat roads being more fuel-efficient. Regular maintenance, like changing air filters and maintaining proper tire pressure, helps keep fuel consumption stable. Although it's an SUV with a larger build, compared to similar models like the Haval H6, its fuel consumption is about average, which I find acceptable. However, to save money, driving more gently is advisable.

What is a vehicle PCV?

Vehicle PCV is the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system, a metering control valve composed of a valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring, which is non-disassemblable and installed between the engine crankcase ventilation system and the intake system. Below is an introduction to PCV: 1. Introduction: The PCV valve of a car is a component of the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system. The crankcase ventilation system is often referred to as the PCV system, exhaust gas recirculation system, etc. Its basic installation location is on the valve cover and the connected intake pipe. Its function is to prevent blow-by gases from entering the atmosphere and to prevent engine oil from deteriorating. 2. Function: The PCV valve consists of a valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring, and is non-disassemblable. Its main function is to direct the gases from the crankcase into the intake manifold through the PCV valve, with a small amount of air entering the intake manifold directly from the air filter via the PCV valve. This prevents phenomena such as throttle icing, incomplete combustion, and emission deterioration. It also prevents blow-by gases from entering the atmosphere and prevents engine oil from deteriorating.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the new Jetta SUV VS5?

Jetta VS5's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.2-6.8L. Currently, there are 5 models on sale. Among them, the Jetta VS5-2022 manual Yuexiang Pro and manual Jinqu Pro both have a fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100 kilometers, while the automatic Yuexiang Pro, automatic Jinqu Pro, and automatic Rongyao Pro have a fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100 kilometers. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure for comprehensive operating conditions. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, at 7.1L/100km. Among comparable models, the Changan CS75-2022 has a combined fuel consumption of 6.2L/100km, the Haval First Love 2021 has 6.5L/100km, and the Trumpchi GS3-2021 has 5.9L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind direction, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel due to the need for greater driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind direction: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.

What do you need to do for the traffic duty during the driver's license test?

Traffic duty during the driver's license test is a requirement set by some local driving schools, where candidates must report to the local traffic police department before taking the third subject test and complete four hours of street volunteer service. Special cases such as pregnant women, disabled individuals, male candidates aged 60 or above, female candidates aged 55 or above, and nursing mothers can apply for exemption from the traffic guidance activities. Instead, they can participate in concentrated viewing of warning education films and other warning education activities. For more details, please see below: 1. What you need to do: Before obtaining the driver's license, you must report to the traffic police department and complete 4 hours of street volunteer service. During the service, the main task is traffic guidance, including reminding pedestrians not to cross the road randomly. The purpose of this is to give candidates a firsthand experience of traffic police work and a deep understanding of the necessity of safe driving before officially hitting the road. 2. According to Article 13 of the 'Interim Regulations on Traffic Safety Practice Education Management for Driving Students': Driving schools are required to have students under the age of 40 participate in a duty activity lasting 1~2 hours per day, mainly at urban intersections and bus stops. The duty is assigned to each driving school based on quotas. Once the driving school fulfills the monthly quota, it must send people to perform the duty.

What is the process for obtaining a Shanghai license plate?

In Shanghai, to obtain a license plate, you first need to have a plate, which is generally acquired through participating in an auction or opting for a new energy vehicle. The process for obtaining a license plate can be summarized into the following steps: 1. First, prepare the necessary materials; 2. Then, undergo vehicle inspection; 3. Review; select a number; 4. Collect the license plate and related supporting documents. Here is a detailed introduction: 1. Material Preparation: After obtaining the quota for a Shanghai license plate, you must first go to the competent tax authority at the vehicle registration location to complete tax declaration. For new license plates, you need to provide the "License Plate Quota Certificate." If transferring a license plate quota, bring the "Motor Vehicle License Plate Cancellation and Renewal Certificate." In addition to the tax declaration form, the following documents should also be provided: (1) The owner's ID card and a copy; (2) The original and duplicate of the compulsory traffic insurance; (3) The first and fourth copies of the vehicle purchase invoice, along with a copy of the first copy; (4) The vehicle certificate and a copy. 2. Vehicle Inspection: Requirements for new vehicle inspections vary across the country. Checking the engine and chassis number are the most basic items, along with comprehensive inspections such as fire extinguishers, brake performance, and headlights. However, the situation in Shanghai is different. For new vehicles, many items can be exempted from inspection, and there is no need to go to the vehicle inspection station of the DMV. 3. Review and Number Selection: The review process is relatively more complex, but it only takes about an hour. Consumers can directly operate the number selection machine to choose a number. As for the number segments, the license plate issuance points at 4S stores in Shanghai are unified, except for some areas like Waigaoqiao, which have special number segments, but the prices for license plates also differ. 4. Collecting the License Plate and Related Supporting Documents: At the DMV, for the 6-choose-1 ready-made number segments, you can directly collect the license plate. Personalized number selection requires three days for production. However, at 4S store issuance points, you cannot collect the plate immediately after number selection; it also takes three days. Consumers can choose to have it mailed for a fee of 15 yuan.

Is it possible not to install ETC?

Yes, it is possible, but car owners are encouraged to install ETC. According to the regulations of the State Council, vehicles that have not applied for ETC by 2020 will not enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will be retained at highway toll stations, and toll fees can only be paid through manual lanes. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; they need to be activated first. During free holiday periods, vehicles with ETC can still use highways, and ETC users passing through ETC lanes will not be charged. The principle of ETC charging: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through microwave dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, the purpose of paying road and bridge tolls without stopping at toll stations is achieved. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles passing through toll stations without stopping can reduce noise and exhaust emissions, minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and lowers wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also explicitly set the goal in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development that "by 2020, the ETC usage rate of road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate of passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC by trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing car owners with comprehensive travel services. This means that more application scenarios will support ETC applications.
