Do Cars Have Reserve Fuel?

Currently, most household cars or many trucks do not have reserve fuel in the strict sense. When the fuel gauge yellow light comes on, it indicates that the reserve fuel has been activated, which is the fuel at the bottom of the fuel tank. Reserve fuel was a design feature of some early vehicles, essentially consisting of a special auxiliary fuel tank attached next to the main fuel tank. This auxiliary tank was usually kept closed during normal operation and had a conduit that would activate when fuel ran out. Additionally, regarding reserve gasoline, it's important to note: Carrying reserve gasoline in a car is illegal. Gasoline can cause explosions in containers, which is extremely dangerous. During driving, the inner walls of plastic containers can generate static electricity through frequent friction with the gasoline inside. When static electricity accumulates to a certain level in an insulated plastic container, it discharges in the form of sparks. These sparks can ignite the mixture of air and gasoline vapor inside the container, leading to catastrophic consequences. Therefore, for personal safety, it is prohibited to carry additional gasoline during road trips.

Why are Luxgen 5 used cars so cheap?

Luxgen 5 has an extremely low resale value. In most cases, used Luxgen vehicles cannot be sold after being recycled. Even when they are sold, it's often at a loss. The low resale value of Luxgen is largely due to inherent issues with the product itself. Reasons why Luxgen used cars are cheap: 1. Fuel consumption: The high fuel consumption has long been criticized by the public, leading to Luxgen's low resale value and poor market reputation. 2. Quality: Besides the unacceptable fuel consumption, the quality is also poor. Various component failures, strange noises, and fluid leaks have led to numerous complaints, contributing to the low selling price of Luxgen used cars. 3. Resale value: The five-year resale rate of Luxgen is only about 50%, which is relatively low in the automotive market. The biggest issue with low resale value is the difficulty in selling recycled used cars. If they are to be sold, they can only be offered at a low price, which explains why Luxgen used cars are so cheap.
