I bought this Buick GL8 3.0 a few years ago, and it's quite comfortable for daily driving, but it's really a bit of a gas guzzler when it comes to fuel consumption. I remember when I first got it, the fuel consumption in the city could reach 13 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers, especially during traffic jams when it could spike up to 16 liters. On long highway trips, the fuel consumption would drop to around 9 liters in cruise control mode, averaging out to about 11 to 13 liters overall. I mostly use the car for commuting to work and weekend trips, spending over 1,000 yuan a month on fuel. Later, I learned more fuel-efficient driving techniques, such as avoiding sudden acceleration and making more use of cruise control, and now I can keep the combined fuel consumption just over 11 liters. The car's strong power and spacious interior are advantages, but I still recommend owners to regularly change the air filter and tires—these small details can help stabilize fuel consumption. If you're on a tight budget, planning routes in advance to avoid congested areas can also save a lot.
