The fuel consumption of the Buick GL8 is 7.9L/100km. Below are the specific details about the Buick GL8: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Buick GL8 is a mid-to-high-end MPV launched by SAIC-GM Buick. 2. Powertrain: This vehicle is equipped with a 2.0T SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine, which delivers a maximum power of 191 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. During operation, the engine reaches its maximum power output at 5,400 rpm and its maximum torque output between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm.
I've been driving a Buick GL8 for three years, mostly for commuting in the city and picking up the kids. The fuel consumption is generally between 10 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can drop to around 8 liters on the highway. However, if the car is full of people or the air conditioning is on, it easily jumps to 13 liters. I usually fill up the tank in one go, and my monthly fuel cost is a little over a thousand yuan. With high fuel prices now, I really need to drive more economically. It's best to develop a habit of smooth acceleration and avoid stomping on the gas pedal. I've heard that regular maintenance of spark plugs and cleaning the air filter can also improve efficiency. Overall, it's considered to have moderate fuel consumption among family MPVs, not as heavy as some older models, and the spaciousness is very practical.
