What is the actual fuel consumption of the Regal 1.5T?
2 Answers
The MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption of the Regal 1.5T is 6.3(L/100km). Fuel consumption is affected by various factors, and actual consumption may vary from person to person. Fuel efficiency is closely related to road conditions and steady speed. Avoid aggressive acceleration and frequent braking while driving. Do not leave the engine idling for extended periods or frequently start the engine. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance may require higher fan speeds and lower temperatures to achieve a comfortable effect. 2. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a primary reason for persistently high fuel consumption. Ensure safe driving while making full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive use of air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, avoid turning on the air conditioning immediately after entering. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.
I've been driving the Buick Regal 1.5T for three years, and the real fuel consumption is greatly affected by driving conditions. During urban commuting, with stop-and-go traffic, the average is around 9 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can rise above 10 liters in heavy traffic. On the highway, maintaining a constant speed of 80 km/h can reduce it to about 6.5 liters. Driving habits are crucial; I prefer gently pressing the accelerator to avoid sudden acceleration and use brakes sparingly to maintain smooth driving. I also use an app to record data, and after the break-in period, the fuel consumption stabilized significantly. Regular maintenance like oil changes and carbon cleaning is essential, and keeping tire pressure at 2.4 can save some fuel costs. In winter, cold starts in the north result in higher fuel consumption, and using air conditioning in summer adds about one liter. Overall, it's an economical car, saving thousands in fuel costs annually, making it suitable for families.
