When a plug-in hybrid vehicle is running on low battery, its fuel consumption is approximately 2L/100km higher than that of the same model's gasoline version. Hybrid vehicles offer excellent fuel efficiency: Generally, for cars of the same displacement and model, the hybrid version can save up to 30% on fuel, which is a major reason many consumers opt for hybrid vehicles. Hybrid vehicles have strong endurance: Compared to plug-in hybrid models, traditional hybrid vehicles have significantly better endurance, especially in areas where charging infrastructure is not yet well-developed. This makes hybrid vehicles more convenient and easier to operate, offering greater advantages.

What type of fuel should the Enclave GX use?

The Enclave GX is recommended to use 95 or higher octane fuel for optimal performance. Enclave gasoline compression ratio: "The higher the compression ratio, the higher the required gasoline octane rating. A compression ratio of 7.5-8.0 should use 90-93 octane gasoline; a compression ratio of 8.0-8.5 should use 90-93 octane gasoline; a compression ratio of 8.5-9.0 should use 93-95 octane gasoline; a compression ratio of 9.5-10.0 should use 95-97 octane gasoline." (The Enclave has a compression ratio of 9.5), while the manual specifies 92 or above, but recommends 93 and 97. Gasoline grade categories: Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is divided into grades such as 90, 93, 95, and 97 based on the octane value. Gasoline is refined from various gasoline components obtained through petroleum refining, including straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, blended with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.

Can a scooter fan be washed?

Scooter fans can be washed. Here is an introduction to the daily maintenance of scooters: Engine oil change: The frequency of engine oil change is every 800-1500km. When changing, use a unified engine cleaner to wash once (35 yuan/500CC, one bottle can be used three times). When changing, drain 30% of the oil, then add the unified engine cleaner (160 ml), start the engine and run it for 5 minutes, drain it all, blow high-pressure air from the oil filling port to blow out the residual oil in the gearbox, and then add new oil. Air filter: The cleaning frequency of the air filter is every 2000km. Because the position of the air filter on a scooter is lower than that of a cross-type motorcycle, and the air intake direction is generally horizontal (cross-type motorcycles are generally upward), the filter gets dirtier than that of cross-type motorcycles during driving. Spark plug: Spark plugs should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. In the market, you can find: CR6E, CR7E, CR8E, CR9E. The number in the middle represents the heat value. If it is a high-compression ratio engine, it is recommended to use a high heat value spark plug. This can improve power and save fuel.

Can Brushed Wheels Be Partially Repaired?

Brushed wheels can be partially repaired if the damaged area is small. Repair Methods for Brushed Wheels: Brushed wheel repairs are generally divided into partial repair and re-brushing. If the damaged area is small, partial repair can be performed. Although partial repair cannot restore the fine grain patterns of the wheel, the brightness and quality of the wheel remain unaffected after the repair. Additionally, partial repair is much cheaper than re-brushing the entire wheel. If the damaged area is large, the entire wheel must undergo re-brushing, which involves removing a layer of the damaged metal surface using a CNC brushing machine. After re-brushing, the wheel will regain its original metal grain patterns. However, each re-brushing process affects the wheel's quality, so multiple re-brushing repairs are not recommended. Definition of Wheel Brushing: Wheel brushing is a special surface treatment process that creates linear patterns on the wheel's surface through grinding, enhancing its decorative appeal. Car owners often choose brushed wheels because they appear to have a two-tone effect and a shiny, dynamic look.

Where is the flasher relay located on the Baojun 730?

The flasher relay of the Baojun 730 is located in the control cabinet or control box. You can identify the actual component by referring to the following characteristics of relays. Introduction to relays: As an electrical control device, a relay is connected in a circuit to form two control systems: the control system (also known as the input circuit) and the controlled system (also known as the output circuit). You can trace the circuit to locate it. Generally, a relay has several main contacts plus two coil contacts, resembling a contactor. The main contacts are connected to the controlled system, while the coil contacts are connected to the control system. However, the contacts of a relay are usually visible, so you should be able to identify it based on this feature. Working principle of relays: When a certain voltage or current is applied to both ends of the electromagnetic relay coil, the magnetic flux generated by the coil passes through the magnetic circuit composed of the iron core, yoke, armature, and working air gap. Under the action of the magnetic field, the armature is attracted to the pole face of the iron core, thereby pushing the normally closed contacts to open and the normally open contacts to close. When the voltage or current at both ends of the coil falls below a certain value, and the mechanical reaction force exceeds the electromagnetic attraction force, the armature returns to its initial state, causing the normally open contacts to open and the normally closed contacts to close.

How Many Years Until a New Car is Mandatorily Scrapped?

Currently, there is no mandatory scrapping period for new cars as long as they are private passenger vehicles. Service life for various types of motor vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a service life of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years; rental passenger vehicles 15 years; small training passenger vehicles 10 years, medium-sized training passenger vehicles 12 years, and large training passenger vehicles 15 years; public transport passenger vehicles 13 years; other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles 10 years, large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles 15 years; dedicated school buses 15 years; large and medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, excluding large cars, 20 years; three-wheeled vehicles and low-speed trucks with single-cylinder engines 9 years, other trucks including semi-trailer tractors and full-trailer tractors 15 years. Vehicle scrapping standards: Reaching the prescribed service life; failing to meet the national standards for in-use vehicle safety technical requirements; atmospheric pollutants or noise still not meeting the national standards for in-use vehicle requirements; failing to obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark within three inspection cycles.

Can running a red light be handled in a different location?

According to Article 5 of the "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Violations", running a red light can be handled in a different location. For red light violations recorded by traffic monitoring technology, the traffic management departments of public security organs at the place where the violation occurred, was discovered, or where the motor vehicle is registered all have jurisdiction. However, if the violator or the owner/manager of the motor vehicle disputes the facts of the violation recorded by traffic monitoring technology, they cannot raise objections in a different location. Methods to avoid running red lights while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, observe the arrow lights; otherwise, observe the circular lights. When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line. When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as stopping might be impossible and you could cross the stop line. If you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop. When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.
