What is the fuel consumption of the Beidou Star?
1 Answers
The Beidou Star has 4 models, including the 2019 1.4L manual refined version, classic version, and their modified versions, all equipped with a 97-horsepower engine. The NEDC fuel consumption is 5.1L per 100km, which is the official data. The fuel tank capacity of the Beidou Star is 42L. With a full tank, it can travel approximately 42/5.1*100=823km. 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 before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars 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 temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, low temperatures cause the engine computer to control higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption. Excessive oil consumption: When excessive oil consumption is noticed, first check for oil leaks at the connections between the engine body, gearbox cover, large disc on the wheel side, rear cover, and cover housing. If leaks are found, inspect the integrity of the sealing gaskets and replace any damaged ones. If the gaskets are intact, check if the connecting screws are loose. Oil loss: Normal wear from long-term engine use or abnormal wear due to improper maintenance can cause longitudinal scratches in the diesel engine's cylinder liner. If the cylinder diameter and piston side clearance exceed the specified values, the piston ring's tension decreases, leading to incomplete oil scraping. Alternatively, if the inner support spring in the oil ring breaks at the oil ring's opening, it can cause incomplete oil scraping and burning, resulting in severe oil consumption. Symptoms include difficulty starting the diesel engine, noticeable blue smoke from the exhaust pipe, and severe oil spray from the breather.
