What is the fuel consumption of the GL8 2.0T?

[LeStephen]

There are 16 available models of the GL8 2.0T, including the 2022 Land Business Class 652T Comfort, 2022 Land Business Class 652T Luxury, and 2022 Land Business Class 652T Smart Luxury, all equipped with a 237-horsepower engine. The NEDC fuel consumption is 7.94L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity varies among different GL8 2.0T models. The driving distance on a full tank is as follows: Models with the 237-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 66L, allowing a driving distance of 66/7.94*100=831.2KM on a full tank. Automobile fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the need for greater 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 vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is less likely to vaporize during a cold start, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine control unit may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.

I drove the Buick GL8 652T model for two years, with an actual combined fuel consumption of around 9.5L. In city traffic with frequent stops, it could go up to 12L, but on national highways maintaining a steady 70 km/h, it could drop to 7.9L. Here are some fuel-saving tips: don't turn off the start-stop function, as this car comes with a 48V mild hybrid system; use eco mode during cruising, which can lower the engine RPM by 500; maintaining tire pressure at 2.6 saves half a liter of fuel compared to 2.3. Once, I borrowed a friend's older 25S model for a long trip, and the 2.0T engine saved 1.8L per 100 km compared to its 2.5L engine. The new technology has clearly made significant progress.

Having worked as a chauffeur for five years, I've upgraded through three generations of GL8. The current 2.0T model saves nearly 20% fuel compared to the previous 2.4L. During morning rush hour airport transfers, it averages 9.8L/100km, while evening peak traffic can push consumption up to 13L/100km. Personal tips: Replacing the air filter every 10,000km shows the most noticeable fuel savings; Using 0W20 oil instead of 5W30 saves 0.5L/100km; AC usage in summer has minimal impact, but avoid warming up the car for more than three minutes in winter. Once I borrowed the Avenir 4-seater version - the added weight from aviation seats increased consumption by 0.8L. Remember: ECO mode is gimmicky, manual shifting delivers precise fuel control.

Tested the cylinder deactivation technology on the GL8: When cruising at 80 km/h with two cylinders operating, the instantaneous fuel consumption was 5.8L, but it instantly rose to 7.9L when switching to four cylinders. It is recommended to turn off the auto-hold function in urban driving, as this feature increases fuel injection by 10% at each start. Actual measured factory data: With a 66L fuel tank, the low fuel light comes on after 700 km in city driving, and it can run up to 830 km on the highway. Pay attention to the fuel trim value; I once refueled at a small gas station, which caused a long-term fuel trim of +15%, directly increasing fuel consumption by 1.2L. When the rear seats are frequently occupied by three people, the suspension compression leads to increased rolling resistance, resulting in approximately 0.5L more fuel consumption.
