What is the fuel consumption of the GAC GS8?
1 Answers
There are 12 models of the GAC GS8 currently on sale. Among them, four models from the 2022 Pilot series—2.0TGDI two-wheel-drive Luxury Smart Connect Edition (6-seater), two-wheel-drive Premium Edition (6-seater), two-wheel-drive Luxury Smart Connect Edition (7-seater), and two-wheel-drive Premium Edition (7-seater)—are all equipped with a 252-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.6L per 100km. Two models, the four-wheel-drive Supreme Edition (7-seater) and four-wheel-drive Supreme Edition (6-seater), are also equipped with a 252-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.4L per 100km. Two models, the four-wheel-drive Luxury Smart Connect Edition (6-seater) and four-wheel-drive Luxury Smart Connect Edition (7-seater), are equipped with a 252-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.2L per 100km. Two models from the Hybrid series—2.0TM four-wheel-drive Premium Edition (7-seater) and four-wheel-drive Premium Edition (6-seater)—are equipped with a 190-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.33L per 100km. Two models, the Hybrid series 2.0TM two-wheel-drive Premium Edition (7-seater) and two-wheel-drive Premium Edition (6-seater), are equipped with a 190-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.96L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity varies among different models of the GAC GS8. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 252-horsepower engine and NEDC fuel consumption of 8.6L, 9.4L, or 9.2L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 65L. The distance that can be covered on a full tank is 65/8.6*100=756km; 65/9.4*100=691km; 65/9.2*100=707km. For models equipped with a 190-horsepower engine and NEDC fuel consumption of 6.33L or 5.96L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 58L. The distance that can be covered on a full tank is 58/6.33*100=916km; 58/5.96*100=973km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly influenced by 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 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 for combustion. 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 resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.
