What is the actual fuel consumption of the 2009 Buick Regal 2.0?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the 2009 Buick Regal 2.0 is approximately 10L-12L. Relevant information about vehicle fuel consumption is as follows: 1. Constant-speed fuel consumption: This refers to the fuel economy indicator when a vehicle is driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since constant-speed driving is a fundamental operating condition for vehicles on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. 2. Road cycle fuel consumption: This is the fuel economy indicator measured when a vehicle drives in repeated cycles according to specified speeds and time protocols on roads, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The speed and time protocols specify various driving conditions included in each cycle, as well as the shifting moments, braking and stopping times, driving speeds, acceleration, and braking deceleration values for each cycle.
Regarding the real fuel consumption of the 2009 Regal 2.0, I’ve driven this car for several years and would like to share my experience: Under normal driving conditions, the average fuel consumption in city traffic with congestion is around 13 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers, while highway cruising typically ranges between 7 to 9 liters. Overall, the combined fuel consumption is approximately 10 to 12 liters. The car’s fuel efficiency isn’t the lowest, but I’ve noticed significant influencing factors—for example, using the AC in summer can increase consumption by 1 to 2 liters. Low tire pressure or delayed maintenance can also lead to higher fuel usage. In fact, changing the engine oil and air filter every 5,000 kilometers or so can slightly improve efficiency. Overall, its engine design leans toward practicality, requiring a smooth driving style to avoid sudden acceleration, which helps maintain reasonable daily fuel consumption. For those looking to save fuel, I recommend driving more on highways or planning routes to avoid peak traffic hours.
