This is only a reference value and is highly dependent on driving habits. Here are some relevant details: 1. The last small segment: Generally, when only the last small segment remains, the car should still be able to run at least 100 kilometers, while when the warning light comes on, there is about 30 kilometers of range left. Don't wait until the fuel is completely empty to refuel; you should go when it's almost empty. This is because when the fuel is completely depleted, the fuel pump will be exposed to air. The fuel pump relies on the fuel's temperature for cooling, and exposure to air means no cooling, which can easily cause damage. 2. Habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly influenced by driving habits and road conditions. Avoid heavy acceleration; gradual acceleration when starting is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator too hard when starting, as heavy acceleration can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times compared to normal acceleration.

What is the curb weight of a 2005 old Buick Regal in tons?

The curb weight of the Buick Regal is 1.43-1.53 tons. General curb weight of cars: Sedans generally weigh around 1.5 tons. Most family cars range between 1.2 to 1.3 tons, mid-to-high-end cars between 1.4 to 1.6 tons, while heavier cars can be between 1.8 to 2.0 tons. Excessive body weight can lead to higher fuel consumption, poor handling, slower acceleration, and increased braking distance. Factors affecting a car's curb weight: A car's weight is largely influenced by its engine displacement and length, including the materials used. Generally, cars with smaller displacements use lighter engines. Small cars are lighter than large cars, and differences in the use of chassis, tires, soundproofing materials, and seat materials can all contribute to variations in a car's weight.

What is the mileage for the first maintenance?

The first maintenance is at 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Generally, the first car maintenance involves changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, etc. Air filter maintenance: During operation, the engine inhales a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the dust in it will accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Regularly clean and replace the filter element. When inspecting and maintaining the air filter, the sealing gasket on the filter element must be properly installed. If the sealing gasket has aged, deformed, or broken, it should be replaced with a new one. Gasoline filter: The function of the gasoline filter element is to provide clean fuel to the engine, filtering out water and impurities in the gasoline. When replacing the gasoline filter element, be sure to purchase a high-quality filter element at a 4S store. Inferior filter elements not only have poor material quality but also poor filtration performance. After being soaked in gasoline for a long time, the filter element itself may have its filtration layer fall off, clogging the fuel line.

Is There a Lunch Break for Handling Traffic Violations?

Handling traffic violations takes a lunch break. Here is an introduction to car anti-theft systems: Introduction: To better enhance anti-theft effects, some vehicles are equipped with a steering lock. The steering lock is used to secure the car's steering shaft. It is integrated with the ignition lock and installed under the steering wheel, controlled by the key. After the ignition lock cuts off the ignition circuit to stop the engine, turning the ignition key to the extreme left position extends the lock tongue into the steering shaft groove, mechanically locking the car's steering shaft. Types: A car anti-theft device is installed in the vehicle to increase the difficulty of theft and prolong the time required to steal the car, acting as a guardian for the vehicle. By connecting the anti-theft device to the car's electrical circuit, it prevents theft, intrusion, and protects the vehicle while enabling various anti-theft functions. With advancements in technology, to counter increasingly sophisticated car theft methods, various types and structures of anti-theft devices have been developed. These devices can be categorized into four main types: mechanical, chip-based, electronic, and network-based.
