What is the actual fuel consumption of the 2012 LaCrosse 2.4L?
1 Answers
The 2012 LaCrosse 2.4L has three models: the 2012 LaCrosse 2.4L SIDI Luxury Edition, Premium Edition, and Elegance Edition. All are equipped with a 186 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.2L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity is the same across all 2012 LaCrosse 2.4L models. The distance that can be covered on a full tank is as follows: For models with the 186 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 70L. The distance that can be covered on a full tank is 70/9.2*100=761km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five key factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, wind, and ambient temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at red lights can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel because higher displacement typically means higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Wind: Driving against strong winds increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, injected gasoline does not vaporize easily during cold starts, requiring more fuel for combustion and increasing consumption. Additionally, lower temperatures prompt the engine control unit to maintain higher idle speeds for warm-up, further increasing fuel usage.
