What is the fuel consumption of the Buick Regal 1.5T?
2 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Buick Regal 1.5T is 6.5L/100km. The above is the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the comprehensive fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, at 11.4L/100km. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Vehicle weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6-liter displacement, weighing around 1.2 tons, has a fuel consumption of about 7.5 liters (calculated under full load), while an SUV model weighing around 1.5 tons has a fuel consumption of 8.5 liters. Different weights result in varying fuel consumption. Drag coefficient: Higher drag increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag coefficients, leading to lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has an optimal torque output point where fuel consumption is minimized. Generally, small-displacement cars achieve this at around 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars reach it at about 100 km/h. Maintaining speed within this economical RPM range results in the least fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before red lights, increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Buick Regal 1.5T for three years, and the fuel consumption of this car depends on road conditions. In city traffic jams, it's basically 9-10 liters per 100km, and even higher during peak hours with frequent traffic lights. It's very fuel-efficient on highways, with the cruise control and air conditioning on, it's just over 6 liters. I have a habit of recording fuel consumption, and using air conditioning in summer consumes about half a liter more than in winter. The transmission tuning is quite smart, maintaining low RPMs at steady speeds. To save fuel, it's best to avoid frequent hard acceleration. The car weighs over 1.5 tons, and frequent starts are particularly fuel-consuming. Remember to clean carbon deposits during maintenance, and keeping the spark plugs in good condition can also reduce fuel consumption.
