What is the fuel consumption of a blue plate 4.2-meter truck?
1 Answers
The fuel consumption of a blue plate 4.2-meter truck is 13-15L. The blue plate is a small vehicle license plate, featuring white characters and borders on a blue background. This plate is installed on trucks with a total mass below 4500KG (excluding) and vehicles with fewer than 20 passengers (excluding the driver) and a body length under 6 meters (excluding). Below are the reasons for high fuel consumption: 1. Improper driving habits: Fuel consumption is closely related to the driver's habits, such as prolonged idling without turning off the engine or frequent ignition, aggressive acceleration or frequent braking, driving at low gear with high speed or high gear with low speed, etc. These habits significantly contribute to increased fuel consumption. 2. Abnormal tire pressure and tire wear: Low tire pressure increases friction between the tire and the ground, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. The normal tire pressure is around 2.5bar, which can be slightly reduced by 0.1bar in summer. However, tire pressure should not be too high either; it's best to maintain the standard value recommended for the vehicle. Additionally, severely worn tires can cause frequent skidding, also increasing fuel consumption. 3. Fuel quality and carbon deposits: Many drivers overlook fuel quality. Poor-quality gasoline can lead to increased carbon deposits, which roughen the intake pipe walls, affecting air intake and the quality of the air-fuel mixture, causing a sharp rise in fuel consumption. Therefore, gasoline quality should not be neglected. Regular maintenance at a 4S shop is a forward-looking investment, ensuring normal vehicle performance and saving unnecessary expenses in the long run.
