What is the fuel consumption of the 2007 LaCrosse?
2 Answers
2007 LaCrosse has two models: the LaCrosse-2007-2.4-Standard and the LaCrosse-2007-2.4-Luxury Navigation Edition. Both models are equipped with a 2.4L-168 horsepower-L4 engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.4L per 100 kilometers. Both models have a fuel tank capacity of 72L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: 72/9.4*100=766km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during a cold start, the injected gasoline is less likely to vaporize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I drove a 2007 Buick LaCrosse for a while. In city driving with frequent stops and starts, the fuel consumption was relatively high, around 11 to 13 liters per 100 kilometers. On the highway, it was more economical, dropping to about 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers when cruising at 80 to 100 km/h. Honestly, older cars are like this—higher fuel consumption is normal, but it drives very steadily, making it suitable for long trips. I recommend paying attention to maintenance, such as changing the engine oil and air filter on time, which can slightly reduce fuel consumption. Also, check the tire pressure, as both too high and too low can increase fuel usage. Overall, the combined fuel consumption is around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, which isn’t particularly fuel-efficient but is acceptable. Avoid aggressive acceleration in daily driving, and maintaining a steady speed will help a lot. This car has been with me for many years and has proven quite reliable.
