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