GAC GS8 has a fuel consumption of 9.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are some additional details: 1. The GAC GS8 is a mid-size SUV, and all models are equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. 2. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine of the GS8 delivers 252 horsepower and a maximum torque of 390 Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT). The use of a 6AT transmission can improve the vehicle's fuel economy and enhance the smoothness of gear shifts. 3. The GS8 features a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

During long-distance drives with the GS8, I've tested the fuel consumption several times. The two-wheel-drive gasoline version can generally maintain around 8L on the highway, but it's completely different in the city. During morning and evening rush hour traffic, the displayed consumption can shoot up to 12L, and if the air conditioning is on, it adds another 0.8L. The four-wheel-drive version is even more extreme—a friend's four-wheel-drive top trim model measured 14L in the summer. However, the hybrid version is truly fuel-efficient, with the electric motor providing exceptionally smooth starts and a combined consumption of just 6.2L. Considering the vehicle weighs over 2 tons, this fuel efficiency is actually slightly better than the Highlander. I recommend opting for the hybrid; with its 65L fuel tank, it can easily cover 900 km on a full tank, saving a significant amount on fuel costs each month.

What are the symptoms of a damaged motorcycle overrunning clutch?

The symptoms of a damaged motorcycle overrunning clutch include clutch slippage, incomplete clutch disengagement, and clutch shudder. The specific manifestations are as follows: Clutch slippage: When starting the car in low gear, after releasing the clutch pedal, the car cannot start or has difficulty starting; when accelerating, the speed does not increase with the engine speed, and the car feels powerless to drive. In severe cases, a burning smell or smoke may occur. Incomplete clutch disengagement: Even when the clutch pedal is fully depressed, the power between the clutch driving and driven discs cannot be completely cut off, resulting in difficulty shifting gears, gear grinding, inability to stop, or clutch overheating. Clutch shudder: When starting, the entire vehicle shakes, especially when idling and gradually releasing the clutch pedal in low gear, the vehicle experiences continuous jerking. The main causes of overrunning clutch damage are poor quality and improper use. Under normal circumstances, as long as it is used reasonably, the probability of overrunning clutch failure is relatively low. However, if the quality of the parts is unreliable or the use is unreasonable, it can lead to excessive wear and frequent damage to this component. Therefore, when using the electric start system, always hold the clutch handle, which can reduce the chance of overrunning clutch damage. Additionally, when replacing the overrunning clutch, choose a product with more steel rollers for replacement, as this will result in a relatively longer service life.

How many points will be deducted for driving straight in a U-turn lane?

According to Article 51 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", violators will be penalized with 3 demerit points. Driving straight in a U-turn lane is considered a violation of traffic prohibition signs or markings. However, if the lane is designated for both U-turns and straight driving, no points will be deducted. Permissible U-turn situations: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, U-turns are allowed. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make a U-turn without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs: U-turns are allowed if there are no explicit prohibitions. This means the absence of "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and the centerline is not solid. Yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate no-stopping zones, typically at intersections prone to congestion or near important facilities. While stopping on these lines is prohibited, U-turns are allowed unless there is a central barrier. Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: If a U-turn traffic light is present, U-turns are only allowed when the light is green. Simultaneous "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Allowed" signs: U-turns are permitted even if left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn". Precautions when making U-turns: Observe road markings: U-turns are not allowed on solid lines; proceed to find a suitable location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, U-turns are also prohibited, as U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane; U-turns from the second left-turn lane are not allowed. Yield to straight-moving vehicles before making a U-turn to avoid accidents and full liability. Check lane arrows: If the leftmost lane has a straight arrow instead of a left-turn arrow, U-turns are not allowed even without explicit prohibitions. U-turns on pedestrian crosswalks are prohibited and considered violations.

Does a New Car Still Enjoy the Six-Year Exemption from Inspection After Transfer of Ownership?

A new car can still enjoy the six-year exemption from inspection after transfer of ownership. The conditions for the six-year exemption policy for new cars include: the vehicle must be a non-operational vehicle; the approved seating capacity is 6 or fewer people (starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational mini and small buses with 7 to 9 seats are also included in the exemption scope); the vehicle type specified on the driving license includes cars (mini, small, medium, large), mini ordinary passenger vehicles, mini off-road passenger vehicles, small ordinary passenger vehicles, small off-road passenger vehicles, and small special passenger vehicles; the vehicle must be registered within 4 years from the date of manufacture; and the vehicle must meet all the above conditions and must not have been involved in any traffic accidents causing casualties during the exemption period. Regulations on exemption from inspection: The so-called exemption from inspection refers only to exemption from on-site inspection. Drivers are still required to undergo a biennial regular inspection. After providing proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption, and resolving any traffic violations or accidents, they can directly apply to the traffic management department for the inspection label without needing to undergo a safety technical inspection at an inspection agency. However, if the vehicle is involved in a traffic accident causing casualties during the exemption period, it must undergo inspection according to the original regulations. Regulations on annual vehicle inspection: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years and once every 6 months after 5 years; trucks and large or medium non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years and once every 6 months after 10 years; small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, with a biennial application for the inspection label (starting from November 20, 2020, vehicles older than 6 years but less than 10 years will be inspected once every two years instead of annually, and vehicles older than 10 years will be inspected once a year); vehicles older than 15 years must be inspected once every 6 months.

Why won't my Citroen C5 start even though it has power?

There are several possible reasons why a Citroen C5 won't start. If the headlights can turn on normally, you can rule out a dead battery. Other potential causes include an unactivated anti-theft system, a damaged starter motor, or a non-functioning fuel pump. A proper inspection is needed to determine the exact cause. Here's additional information on Citroen C5 maintenance to prevent starting issues: 1. Generally, perform minor maintenance every 15,000 kilometers: Specific tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter, using compressed air to clean the air filter and cabin air filter, cleaning the throttle body, and resetting the engine control unit. 2. Conduct inspections every 15,000 kilometers: To prevent engine stalling while driving, check the fuel pump connector and its electrode contacts for any signs of burning during each 15,000 km maintenance. Also, ensure the extended vent tube of the charcoal canister is unobstructed. 3. Use higher quality oil when temperatures drop: To better remove carbon deposits inside the engine, you can try Jinsheng Fuel-Saving Pioneer, which claims to remove carbon deposits, reduce noise, and enhance power.

Can You Still Drive with a Tire Pressure Check?

If a car needs to check tire pressure, it cannot continue normal driving and must immediately pull over to inspect the tires. If a tire pressure monitoring tool is available, check whether the pressure in all tires is normal. Only after confirming that all tire pressures are normal can you continue driving. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Tire friction and adhesion decrease, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of Underinflated Tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in tire parts, leading to excessive heat due to overcompression; Weakens cord and rubber functionality, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; Multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature and softening the tire, drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may lead to blowouts; Increases tire deformation, leading to sidewall cracks and flexing movements, causing excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.
