The displayed fuel consumption of 7 usually corresponds to an actual consumption of 6~8L. Generally, a good dashboard will have a fuel consumption error of around 5%, which is approximately 0.3-0.6 liters. However, some dashboards with larger errors may show a discrepancy of 1-2 liters compared to the actual fuel consumption. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: Regular maintenance: It is essential for the vehicle. If maintenance is not done properly or parts are not replaced in time, fuel consumption will increase. Avoid frequent sudden braking: Frequent sudden braking is the main reason for high fuel consumption in cars. Braking should ensure the safe operation of the vehicle while making full use of the vehicle's inertia. Avoid excessive use of air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in.

Is It Illegal to Install a Roof Rack?

Installing a car roof rack is not illegal, but it depends on the situation. For passenger vehicles, the height of cargo loaded on the roof rack must not exceed 0.5 meters from the top of the vehicle or 4 meters from the ground. If either of these limits is exceeded, it may be subject to inspection by traffic police. Therefore, before purchasing a roof rack, you should measure the position yourself to ensure compliance. Below is additional information: 1. Road Traffic Safety Law: According to Article 54 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the load carried by a motor vehicle must not exceed the approved load capacity specified in the vehicle's registration certificate, and the length and width of the load must not extend beyond the vehicle body. 2.

Why does the steering wheel vibrate when driving on the highway?

There are many reasons that may cause steering wheel vibration during high-speed driving, such as significant differences in tire pressure among the four tires, poor tire dynamic balance, or inaccurate four-wheel alignment data. Below is relevant information: 1. Precautions: Tires are the only components of a car that come into contact with the ground, making them crucial for driving safety and stability. It is recommended that drivers check tire pressure and inspect the tire surface for any damage before embarking on high-speed or long-distance journeys. 2. Dynamic Balance: If there is an issue with the wheel's dynamic balance, it may also cause the steering wheel to vibrate during high-speed driving. During production, the weight of each part of the wheel rim is not exactly the same, nor is the weight of each part of the tire. After the tire is mounted on the rim, the weight distribution of the wheel is not uniform, necessitating dynamic balancing of the wheel. During dynamic balancing, technicians attach balancing weights to the lighter parts of the wheel to prevent abnormal vibration during high-speed driving.

How Does the Insurance Company Compensate If the Car Is Scrapped?

Insurance companies will compensate for the actual value of the car before it was scrapped. This is calculated by subtracting the depreciation amount from the original purchase price of the new car. 1. Depreciation calculation formula: Number of months between the accident date and the initial registration date × Depreciation rate × Original purchase price of the new car. The depreciation rate for passenger cars is 0.6% per month, and for large trucks, it is 1.1% per month. 2. Compensation for accident-related vehicle scrapping: For vehicles damaged in traffic accidents, insurance companies will advocate a 'repair-first' standard. If the vehicle does not meet the scrapping criteria, compensation will be provided according to the terms stipulated in the contract, and the compensation amount will be used for repairs. If the vehicle damage reaches the scrapping standard, meaning the estimated repair cost equals or exceeds the actual value of the vehicle, the insurance company will proceed with scrapping compensation. Therefore, if a car owner believes their car is scrapped, they cannot directly claim scrapping compensation; the assessment results from the evaluation department must be considered.
