Buick Excelle actual fuel consumption: Highway fuel consumption ranges between 5.5–7L, while urban fuel consumption ranges between 8.5–10L. The specific fuel consumption mainly depends on the actual driving conditions and the driver's habits. Factors affecting the actual fuel consumption of the Buick Excelle: 1. Advanced automotive technology: The vehicle's own weight, the car's design, and the engine's thermal efficiency are three key automotive technologies related to fuel consumption. 2. Good vehicle condition: Besides emphasizing car cleanliness, proper maintenance of the car should also be prioritized. 3. Incorrect driving habits: During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most common issues. Experts have conducted acceleration fuel consumption tests and found that fuel consumption increases by 2 to 3 times compared to steady-speed driving when entering test sections. 4. Road conditions: According to expert estimates, driving in urban road conditions increases fuel consumption by 20% compared to driving on test tracks.

As a veteran driver who has owned the Buick Excelle for 5 years, my car's real-world fuel consumption is generally around 7 liters per 100 km in city driving, and can drop to about 5 liters on highways. The fuel consumption varies significantly depending on road conditions and driving habits—it can spike to 8 liters in city traffic jams, but becomes much more fuel-efficient on weekend long-distance trips. My experience suggests that avoiding sudden braking and hard acceleration, and maintaining steady speeds can help reduce consumption to just over 6 liters. Regular maintenance is also crucial, such as replacing air filters and cleaning fuel lines, to prevent unnecessary increases in fuel consumption. Overall, an average of 7 liters for daily driving is reasonable, but don’t trust the official figures too much—actual usage patterns will reveal the true consumption over time. For instance, my fuel consumption only stabilized after driving 20,000 km. Keep an eye on dashboard alerts and adjust your driving accordingly.

I commute daily in my Excelle, with real-world fuel consumption reaching 7-8 liters per 100km in city driving and dropping to 5 liters on highways – it heavily depends on road conditions. For example, during morning rush hour traffic jams in the city, fuel consumption climbs rapidly, sometimes approaching 8 liters; but highway cruising is super efficient, usually settling around 5 liters. My advice is to plan routes in advance to avoid congestion and use cruise control on highways to effortlessly reduce fuel consumption. Air conditioning also plays a role – summer cooling adds about 1 liter to consumption, while winter heating has less impact. After a year or two of driving, I've learned to anticipate road conditions, now averaging 6.5 liters – the key is accumulating small money-saving habits. The car itself is quite reliable, but it's important to combine practical driving with consistent tracking.

Our Buick Excelle has been used for several years, with an average real fuel consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers. It's slightly higher at 8 liters in city driving, but drops to 5 liters on highways. As a parent, I find this fuel consumption acceptable, with monthly fuel costs around 500 yuan. However, with rising oil prices, we need to budget carefully, opting for suburban routes to avoid traffic congestion. Driving habits are crucial—less sudden acceleration and braking can reduce consumption to just over 6 liters. Using the air conditioning also impacts fuel economy, especially in summer when it can increase consumption by 1 liter. We try to open windows for cooling before starting the car. Regularly checking tire pressure helps save fuel—low pressure increases consumption, which is quite effective. Overall, the Excelle's fuel consumption is reasonable, but don't just focus on the numbers; pay attention to your driving environment to optimize it.

What types of insurance are necessary for a family car?

Family cars require four types of insurance: compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, and no-deductible insurance. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: As one of the legally mandated insurances, compulsory traffic insurance requires the insurance company to pay a certain amount to the involved party if any loss is caused to a third party, regardless of fault or the need for compensation. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle damage insurance is also typically necessary. For everyday issues like scratches, repair costs can be claimed from the insurance company. Especially in accidents where the at-fault party cannot be identified, the insurance company will cover 70% of the costs. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This type of insurance provides the most direct protection. In the event of an accident, whether the third party suffers injury, death, or property loss, the insurance company will compensate according to the corresponding amount. No-Deductible Insurance: In many accidents, insurance companies have a 5-20% deductible rate. However, if the car owner purchases this insurance, all liabilities and amounts will be fully transferred to the insurance company, allowing the owner to receive more compensation.

On which day is the driver's license point reset?

The reset time for driver's license points is the issuance date on the driver's license. The system automatically clears points on the issuance date each year. Scoring cycle and point clearance method: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points. It is calculated from the date of initial issuance of the motor vehicle driver's license, and so on in a continuous cycle. If the penalty points recorded during one scoring cycle do not reach 12 points, the scoring system will automatically reset the points from the previous cycle at the start of the next scoring cycle. Methods for handling points: Drivers who accumulate 12 points must attend a study session and take an exam at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or at the location where the violation occurred. Only after passing the subject one exam can the points be reset. Otherwise, the driver's license cannot be used normally. If the points do not reach 12 within one scoring cycle, driving is not affected, but the corresponding fine must be paid. After paying the fine, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next scoring cycle.

What are the reasons for the difficulty in starting a Chery QQ?

The reasons for the difficulty in starting a Chery QQ may include: battery damage or low charge; abnormal air-fuel mixture or unstable power supply voltage in the ignition system. Battery damage: It needs to be sent to a repair shop for testing with professional computer equipment. Another possibility is low battery charge. If the car is often driven at low speeds with headlights, air conditioning, audio, and other devices frequently turned on, the battery consumption will be higher, potentially leading to low charge. It is recommended to drive at high speeds occasionally to allow the battery to fully charge. Abnormal air-fuel mixture: In this case, the engine usually cranks normally but fails to start. This phenomenon is generally caused by a dirty throttle valve, intake valve, or idle speed control valve. If the valves are too dirty, fuel may spray onto the back and be absorbed by carbon deposits, preventing the engine from starting. Cleaning these components usually solves the problem. Unstable power supply voltage in the ignition system: In winter, the engine's starting resistance increases, including insufficient battery power, leading to inadequate voltage in the entire ignition system. Additionally, sometimes after starting, if the accelerator pedal is not continuously pressed, the car may stall immediately. This is due to a dirty combination of the throttle body and fuel injectors. Slightly increasing the throttle may help, but if the difficulty in starting persists, the car should be sent to a repair shop for a thorough cleaning.

Is it okay to use 95-octane gasoline for a BMW X5?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the BMW X5 should use 95-octane gasoline, so there is no problem with using it. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will also be marked. Usually, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Cars with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. However, with the use of some new technologies nowadays, the gasoline grade cannot be determined solely by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be adjusted to use lower-octane gasoline because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the BMW X5 occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after using it up. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended for lower grades, using higher-octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will change the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, with the actual feedback being poorer performance. For vehicles recommended for higher grades, using lower-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Because the octane number is too low, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing it to ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires during the compression stroke, resistance will occur during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstable. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise and does not significantly damage the engine. However, if the knocking is noticeable, it indicates severe engine conditions. The vibration not only affects driving stability but also causes abnormal wear on the pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, can lead to cylinder scoring.
