23mpg fuel consumption refers to the combined fuel consumption of the engine, but the unit is miles per gallon. Here are some tips to reduce fuel consumption: Use higher gears at lower RPM to reduce fuel consumption: When driving in the city where speeds are not high, try to use higher gears at lower RPM. For example, manual transmission vehicles can shift to fourth or even fifth gear when driving at around 60 km/h to lower the engine RPM. For AT vehicles, it is recommended not to use S or L gears in the city. Avoid sudden acceleration to reduce fuel consumption: When approaching traffic lights, some people tend to coast slowly, while others don't slow down until the last moment and suddenly brake hard when the light turns red. This will undoubtedly increase fuel consumption.

Is it mandatory to purchase insurance from a 4S store for a financed car?

Purchasing car insurance is mandatory when buying a car on loan, but consumers have the right to choose their insurance provider. Whether insurance must be bought at the dealership depends on the contract terms. If the loan agreement does not specify renewing insurance with a designated guarantor company, commercial insurance does not have to be purchased from the 4S store. Therefore, when financing a car purchase, it's important to check whether the 4S store requires customers to buy full coverage insurance from a designated provider. Since financed car purchases involve vehicle depreciation, even if a 4S store requires consumers to purchase insurance from them, they must offer multiple designated insurance options for consumers to choose from, and the prices should align with market rates. If prices are excessively high, consumers can negotiate with the 4S store or file a complaint, which will then be investigated and handled by regulatory authorities. Financed car purchases typically require the owner to buy full coverage insurance, which includes compulsory traffic insurance (mandated by the state), vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, scratch insurance, glass insurance, theft insurance, and waiver of excess for vehicle damage and third-party liability.

Can the air conditioning be used without starting the vehicle?

Yes, but it is not recommended. Here are the details: 1. Using air conditioning without starting the vehicle: When the air conditioning is turned on without starting the vehicle, it does not have a cooling function. After using it for a while, the car battery may lose power, making it difficult to start the vehicle. 2. Car air conditioning: When the air conditioning is turned on without starting the vehicle, the air blown out is just natural air from the blower, as the air conditioning compressor is powered by the engine. Here is additional information about car air conditioning: 1. How car air conditioning works: When the vehicle is turned off, the air conditioning compressor naturally does not work, and the blower blows natural air powered by the battery. Therefore, using the air conditioning for a long time without starting the vehicle will drain the battery. 2. Using car air conditioning: When using the car air conditioning, based on the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises, the correct approach is to point the air vents upward when using the cooling function and downward when using the heating function.
