Our family has been driving the Buick GL8 2.0T for two years, mainly using it to take the kids to school and for weekend family trips. The fuel consumption performance is quite good, averaging about 11 liters per 100 kilometers in city traffic with frequent congestion, and even more economical on highways at around 8 liters. For a large-sized MPV, this is quite cost-effective, with monthly fuel expenses around 800 yuan, saving us a lot. I usually drive steadily, avoiding sudden braking and acceleration, and don’t blast the air conditioning too hard, which helps keep fuel consumption even lower. Regular maintenance keeps the engine running smoothly and reduces extra costs. When we go on family trips, we don’t have to worry about high fuel consumption affecting our plans. Overall, the experience has been extremely satisfying.
