Mazda 8 fuel consumption is 6-8L/100km. Properly adjust tire inflation pressure: Maintaining correct tire pressure can reduce wheel rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption. Additionally, when tire pressure is slightly higher than the specified value by +0.2bar, it can also save vehicle fuel. Moderate use of in-car auxiliary electrical equipment: Significant fuel consumption increase may occur when using certain electrical devices, such as the air conditioning system's cooling function. If heating purposes have been achieved, the seat heaters should be turned off promptly. The rear window defroster should be turned off when there is no fog or ice on the window.

I think the fuel consumption of my Mazda 8 over these years has been quite balanced. In city traffic with frequent stops and starts due to traffic lights, it can reach 11-13 liters per 100 kilometers. However, it's quite fuel-efficient on the highway, dropping to 7-9 liters, especially in cruise control where wind resistance is low. Using air conditioning in summer increases fuel consumption by about 2 liters, and cold starts in winter also consume slightly more. The car has a spacious interior, and fuel consumption rises by about 10% when carrying heavy loads, such as during moving or family trips. I maintain a steady speed and avoid rapid acceleration, keeping fuel consumption stable at around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can easily cover 500 kilometers. Regular maintenance like oil and air filter changes helps maintain efficiency. Although MPVs generally have higher fuel consumption, the overall cost-effectiveness is acceptable, making it a practical choice for families.

Which car currently uses a rotary engine?

Currently, only Mazda persists in developing twin-rotor engines. However, due to technical challenges and inherent drawbacks of rotary engines, Mazda has only equipped its mass-produced RX-8 with this powertrain. Here are some key points about rotary engines: 1. Rotary engines differ significantly from conventional engines in terms of production, assembly, and maintenance, resulting in high development costs. 2. With substantial improvements in power-to-weight ratio, emissions, and fuel efficiency of reciprocating piston engines, coupled with the automotive industry's mature expertise in piston engine technology versus limited knowledge of rotary engines, rotary engines haven't demonstrated clear advantages. Consequently, most automakers lack motivation to develop them, leaving Mazda as the sole exception.

What brand is Firelli tires?

Firelli is Pirelli. Pirelli tires are products of the Italian company Pirelli. Pirelli is one of the world's most renowned tire companies, founded in Italy in 1872, and is currently the fifth-largest tire manufacturer globally, with 24 factories worldwide. Tire maintenance precautions: 1. Tire pressure check: Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold, i.e., after the vehicle has been parked for three hours or driven less than 2 kilometers. Check at least once a month, including the spare tire, with the pressure value based on the parameters recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. If any abnormalities are found, thoroughly investigate the cause. Tire pressure is a crucial indicator of tire lifespan; exceeding the normal pressure by 20% reduces tire life by 10%, while being 30% below normal pressure reduces tire life by 52%. 2. Avoid foreign objects: While driving, especially at high speeds, even a small pebble can cause significant damage to the tires. Pay special attention during driving. Unexpected cuts, incorrect tread patterns, and contamination by gasoline or diesel can all degrade tire performance. 3. Wear level: Stop using the tire when it wears down to the wear indicator, which is generally at a remaining tread depth of 1.6 mm. 4. Wheel alignment, balancing, and tire rotation: Due to factors like different driving positions, front and rear tires wear unevenly. Rotating tires can achieve optimal wear and extend their lifespan. Generally, tires should be rotated every 8,000-10,000 kilometers, but if uneven wear is noticed, rotation should be done as soon as possible. 5. Prevent tire aging and damage: Since tires are rubber products, avoid contact with oil, acid, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals during driving, parking, or storage, as they can cause corrosion, deformation, or softening. When parking, it's advisable to park in the shade to prevent direct sunlight from causing premature aging and damage. Regular maintenance can include using tire wax for care.

What is the normal RPM range for an automatic transmission car?

For automatic transmission vehicles, it is generally reasonable to keep the engine RPM below 2000. Here are some explanations about RPM: 1. The engine RPM relates to the number of power cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the effective power varies with different RPM levels. 2. Therefore, when specifying the effective power of an engine, the corresponding RPM must also be indicated. 3. The effective power and corresponding RPM specified on the engine's product plate are referred to as the rated power and rated RPM, respectively. The operating condition of the engine at the rated power and RPM is called the rated condition.

What is the difference between coolant and antifreeze?

The difference between engine antifreeze and coolant is that antifreeze only has antifreeze function, while coolant has both cooling and antifreeze functions. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is a coolant with antifreeze function. Correct use of coolant can not only protect the engine's cooling system to improve heat dissipation, but also improve engine efficiency and extend its service life. The following are other functions of antifreeze coolant: 1. Anti-corrosion function: The engine and its cooling system are made of metals such as copper, iron, aluminum, steel, and solder. These metals will corrode and rust when exposed to water at high temperatures over time. Antifreeze coolant not only does not cause corrosion to the engine cooling system but also has anti-corrosion and rust removal functions. 2. High boiling point of antifreeze coolant: The boiling point of water is 100°C, while the boiling point of high-quality antifreeze coolant is usually above 110°C, making it less likely to boil during summer use. 3. Antifreeze coolant prevents scaling: The most troublesome issue for drivers using water as a coolant is scaling. Scale adheres to the metal surfaces of the radiator and water jacket, gradually reducing heat dissipation efficiency and being difficult to remove. High-quality coolant is made with distilled water and contains anti-scaling additives, which not only prevent scaling but also have descaling functions.

How to Shift Gears While Driving a Manual Transmission Car

Manual transmission car shifting methods while driving are as follows: 1. Upshifting: First increase the vehicle speed to the required shifting speed, then press the clutch - shift gear - release the clutch while pressing the accelerator. 2. Downshifting: First reduce the vehicle speed to the required shifting speed, then: press the clutch - shift gear - release the clutch while pressing the accelerator; remember that when downshifting, the vehicle speed must be reduced, otherwise the speed will be too high to shift gears. 3. While driving, you can reduce speed without shifting gears depending on the situation, use the brake to reduce speed without frequently using the clutch. When braking, except in emergency situations, do not stomp on the brake pedal, mainly use intermittent braking.
