The reasons for the high fuel consumption of the eighth-generation Civic are as follows: 1. Different models have inherently different fuel consumption levels: The weight of a vehicle varies, and the fuel consumption of a compact car will naturally differ from that of a larger vehicle. 2. Different usage conditions of the vehicle: For the same car with the same amount of fuel, driving at high speeds consumes more fuel than driving on smooth roads. Similarly, driving with cargo consumes more fuel than driving without cargo. When the model and fuel amount are consistent, the driver's habits play a crucial role. For example, opening windows on the highway increases air resistance and fuel consumption, sudden stops, hard braking, and rapid acceleration also lead to higher fuel consumption, while warming up the engine before ignition can help save fuel.

Which Determines Acceleration, Torque or Power?

Torque determines a car's acceleration performance, but this refers to the torque at the wheels, not the engine torque. The car has a transmission system where the engine's output power passes through the gearbox and final drive before reaching the wheels, so the engine torque is not equal to the wheel torque. Additional information: Power and torque are two important performance parameters of an engine. More details are as follows: 1. Power measures the amount of work done: Power is used to measure how much work an engine can perform per unit of time. An engine with higher power can do more work in the same amount of time. 2. The relationship between power, torque, and RPM: (1) An engine with greater torque generally has higher power, as a high-torque engine can output more force with each power stroke. (2) An engine with higher RPM typically has greater power, as a high-RPM engine performs more power strokes per unit of time.

What are the new regulations on used car policies?

The new regulation on used car policies is the comprehensive removal of the used car relocation restrictions. After the full cancellation of the used car relocation restrictions, it will standardize the used car transaction order and further unleash the potential of the used car market. Details of the cancellation of used car relocation restrictions: For used cars that meet the national emission and safety standards for in-use motor vehicles and are within the validity period of regular environmental inspections and annual inspections, relocation procedures can be processed. From the date of issuance of this implementation plan, the used car relocation restriction policies already implemented in 12 cities in eastern, western, and northern Guangdong will be abolished. Definition of used car relocation restrictions: Used car relocation restrictions refer to the restrictive policies imposed by some local governments that prohibit the registration of non-compliant out-of-town used cars. In essence, these are policy measures taken by local governments to protect their local car sales markets and prevent price shocks caused by a large influx of out-of-town used cars.

How Long After Passing Subject 1 with 24 Points Deducted Can You Take Subject 3?

A driver's license has been deducted 24 points, and the Subject 1 test has been passed. The latest date for the Subject 3 test must be taken within ten days after passing Subject 1. Legal basis: If a motor vehicle driver has two or more instances of reaching 12 points or a cumulative score of 24 points or more in a scoring cycle, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within ten days after the driver passes the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. Subject 3 test process: There are a total of 16 procedures, which are: preparation before getting on the car, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, turning left at an intersection, turning right at an intersection, changing lanes, passing through an intersection, parking by the roadside, passing through a pedestrian crossing, passing through a school zone, passing through a bus station, meeting another vehicle, overtaking, making a U-turn, and driving at night. There are two difficulties in the Subject 3 test: The first is the mismatch between speed and gear. Mistakes regarding high gear at low speed and low gear at high speed need to be avoided during the test. Before shifting gears, make sure to adjust the speed to match the gear, then shift gears! During driving, check the speedometer every eight seconds to prevent such errors. The second difficulty is the deviation in straight-line driving. Although you cannot turn the steering wheel significantly during straight-line driving, if the vehicle was not adjusted properly before the test or if you notice the driving trajectory still deviates from the straight line after starting, you can slightly turn the steering wheel, generally within about 5 degrees. This way, after driving a long distance, the vehicle's trajectory will gradually tend to straighten, and then you can straighten the steering wheel.

Does idling with the air conditioning on harm the car and consume more fuel?

Using the air conditioning while the car is idling consumes fuel. Keeping the air conditioning on while idling not only significantly increases fuel consumption but may also damage the vehicle. The power output consumed by the air conditioning accounts for only a small portion of the engine's idling energy. However, when the air conditioning is on during idling, the engine not only drives the air conditioning compressor but also needs to maintain the normal operation of the power steering and brake booster pumps. The latter two functions are completely unnecessary when the car is parked, and keeping them running is a waste of power. Common misconceptions about car air conditioning usage: 1. Randomly adjusting the air vents: Randomly adjusting the direction of the air vents can also affect the temperature inside the car. If the air vents are adjusted haphazardly, the cold air from the air conditioning will cool down high-temperature components that do not need cooling, thereby offsetting the cooling effect. This not only outweighs the benefits but also fails to achieve the desired cooling effect. 2. Keeping the recirculation mode on for long periods: Many car owners keep the recirculation mode on to save energy, which does reduce the number of times the compressor starts and lowers fuel consumption. However, over time, the air inside the car can become stale, and the oxygen levels may drop, leading to dizziness or even hypoxia among passengers. 3. Avoid using the air conditioning while parked: Using the air conditioning while parked is very dangerous because when the car is idling or moving at low speeds, gasoline does not burn completely, producing carbon monoxide. If the air conditioning is in the fresh air mode, it will draw this carbon monoxide into the car, potentially causing carbon monoxide poisoning. This is especially risky during traffic jams when the air intake of the air conditioning may be directly facing the exhaust of the vehicle in front. Therefore, it is best to switch to recirculation mode during traffic jams.
