What is the fuel consumption of the Buick GL8 3.0?
1 Answers
The Buick GL8 3.0 has two models: the 2011 3.0L XT Luxury Business Flagship Edition and the GT Luxury Business Elegance Edition, both equipped with a 258-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 10.9L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different Buick GL8 3.0 models is the same. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 258-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 10.9L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 77L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank is 77/10.9*100=706km. 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 engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, 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 the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
