What is the fuel consumption of the Buick Excelle 1.6 automatic transmission?

[StJudah]

The average fuel consumption per kilometer for the Buick Excelle GT 1.6 automatic transmission is 0.09-0.1L. Overall, the fuel consumption is considered economical, but it is influenced by various factors, so it should be measured based on individual driving habits. Fuel consumption test: The engine is mounted on a test bench, with controlled ambient temperature, a fan blowing from the front, and a water load attached at the rear to simulate the driving state of the car. A computer is used to control and calculate data such as power, power per liter, torque, cylinder pressure, intake and exhaust temperatures, and fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, and to plot corresponding curves and charts. Authoritative fuel consumption test: On a specialized test track at a dedicated vehicle testing facility, under specified conditions of humidity, air pressure, tire pressure, and full load at constant speed (with the vehicle weighed down with passengers and additional weights in the trunk), specialized measuring instruments (such as graduated measuring cups and flow meters) are used to disconnect the vehicle's original fuel supply system. The vehicle is then driven back and forth over a distance of several tens or hundreds of meters (without calculating fuel consumption during acceleration and without coasting) using the fuel from the measuring cup in the instrument. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is then calculated by dividing the total fuel used by two.

I've been driving a Buick Excelle 1.6 automatic for almost three years, mainly for city commuting. During rush hour traffic jams, the fuel consumption is particularly high, reaching around 11 liters. The stop-and-go driving really burns fuel. But on weekends when driving on the highway, it's very economical, usually around 6 to just over 7 liters. On average, it's about 9 liters, but this figure really depends on your specific driving conditions. For example, when I use the air conditioning in summer, the fuel consumption immediately increases by half a liter. Driving on suburban expressways with fewer traffic lights can reduce fuel consumption by over 1 liter. A colleague with the same model drives more steadily and uses about 1 liter less than me. Actually, fuel consumption is greatly affected by driving habits - aggressive acceleration or sudden braking both consume a lot of fuel. The car's space is quite practical, sufficient for daily family use. The fuel consumption is at a moderate level and acceptable.

I often borrow my friend's Excelle 1.6 automatic, and noticed significant fuel consumption fluctuations. It averages about 9.5L/100km on regular urban roads, but can spike to 12L in heavy traffic. However, it's more economical on long trips - maintaining speeds between 80-100km/h can bring it down to 6.2L. The overall average ranges from 8.5-9.5L depending on driving habits. Tire pressure makes a big difference - last time when the pressure was low, consumption inexplicably increased by 0.8L. Older Excelle models require extra maintenance - my neighbor's 5-year-old car with unchanged air filter consumes nearly 2L more than new ones. The automatic transmission's late upshifting also affects fuel economy - gentle throttle application clearly saves more fuel.

I've actually measured the fuel consumption of the Buick Excelle 1.6 automatic transmission, and 8 to 11 liters per 100km in city driving is normal. The key lies in driving techniques: gentle acceleration and anticipating braking can reduce fuel consumption by 10%. Avoid frequent lane changes - maintaining a steady speed is most fuel-efficient. Using the AC at minimum setting is more economical than opening windows, especially on highways. Don't overload the trunk - every extra 100kg increases fuel consumption by 0.7 liters. Maintaining tire pressure between 2.3 to 2.5 bar is most economical. Replace dirty air filters promptly as they can affect fuel efficiency by at least 0.5 liters. Using these methods, I've kept my city fuel consumption under 8 liters per 100km - quite practical.
