The official combined fuel consumption is 6.4L/100km. Below is the relevant introduction: Chevrolet Malibu: The full name of the Malibu is Chevrolet Malibu, born from General Motors' mid-to-high-end car lineup, sharing the same platform as Buick's "Double Jun" series. Vehicle Design: The Malibu adopts Chevrolet's new family-style front face design, combining a U-shaped grille with a honeycomb front grille. The headlight design somewhat resembles the current Buick Excelle GT's style. The overall design gives a sense of grandeur and stability. The rear taillights feature LED design. The rear end draws inspiration from the Camaro, with square taillights and robust dual exhaust pipes showcasing a strong American sense of power.

I just picked up the car three months ago, and my 1.5T Malibu XL currently has a combined fuel consumption of around 8.3L. For daily commuting on urban expressways, fuel consumption can reach 9.5L during morning rush hour traffic. However, it's noticeably more fuel-efficient on highway drives during weekends, with fuel consumption dropping to just 6.8L when cruising at 120 km/h. Surprisingly, the impact of air conditioning isn't as significant as I imagined—summer consumption is only about 0.5L higher than spring/autumn. Fuel consumption was slightly higher in the first month after purchase; the 4S dealership said the new engine needed breaking in. Now, after 5,000 km, it has gradually stabilized. Although the body is heavier than a Corolla, the cylinder deactivation technology automatically shuts down two cylinders during steady-speed driving, which does save some fuel. I recommend installing a fuel tracking app—manually recording each refuel gives more accurate data, as the dashboard display sometimes underreports by about 0.2L.

What is the tire model of Changan CS75?

Changan CS75 has three tire sizes: 225/55-R19, 225/65-R17, and 225/60-R18. The front and rear tire specifications are the same, with the brand being Yokohama (GEOLANDAR-G91 pattern). Relevant tire information is as follows: 1. The international standard tire code represents the section height and aspect ratio in millimeters. Smaller tire sizes reduce friction with the ground during vehicle operation, making them more fuel-efficient. However, larger tire sizes ensure better road grip, enhancing acceleration performance and body stability at high speeds. 2. Tire pressure is crucial for tire longevity; both overinflation and underinflation can shorten tire life. Low pressure increases tire body deformation, leading to excessive heat generation and rubber aging, ultimately enlarging the tire contact area and accelerating shoulder wear. High pressure causes excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving.

What Causes Engine Oil Leakage in a Car?

Engine oil leakage in a car is primarily caused by the failure of rubber seals in the engine. Below is an introduction to the functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication to reduce wear - The relative sliding between the engine's pistons and cylinders, as well as between the crankshaft and bearings, causes wear. Engine oil forms a thick oil film between these sliding surfaces, separating the moving parts to minimize wear. 2. Cooling - Engine oil carries heat back to the oil pan, where it is dissipated into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. 3. Cleaning - Engine oil circulates carbon deposits, sludge, and metal wear particles from engine components back to the oil pan, flushing away contaminants through the flow of the lubricant. 4. Shock absorption - When cylinder pressure rises sharply, it suddenly increases the load on pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings. The lubricated transmission of this load through the bearings helps cushion the impact.

What type of fuel should the Baojun RS3 use?

Baojun RS3 uses 92-octane gasoline. How to choose gasoline: The Jetta VS7 can use 92-octane gasoline, but using 95-octane gasoline provides better engine protection. Even high-compression engines can use lower-octane gasoline. Do not blindly choose gasoline based on compression ratio; simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Choosing between 95-octane and 92-octane gasoline: 95-octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. High-compression engines should use high-octane gasoline. Using low-octane gasoline in a high-compression engine can cause abnormal combustion, leading to knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced performance. This type of fuel is suitable for high-end vehicles. 92-octane gasoline has an octane rating of 92 and contains 8% n-heptane, making it suitable for mid-range vehicles.
