What is the fuel consumption of the new GL8?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the new Buick GL8 varies by model: the 2.0L model consumes 10L/100km, the 2.4L and 2.5L models consume 12L/100km, and the 3.0L model consumes 14L/100km. Methods for calculating fuel consumption: By measuring the amount of fuel added in one refill and recording the distance traveled, the vehicle's fuel consumption can be calculated. The fuel consumption obtained through these two methods represents the average fuel consumption of the vehicle. Methods to save fuel: When driving in the city, traffic jams are common. Therefore, experienced drivers often plan their routes in advance to avoid congested areas. Reducing frequent starts and stops and maintaining an economical speed can help save fuel.
I've been driving the new GL8 for three months now, mainly using it for urban client pickups and drop-offs. The dashboard shows an average fuel consumption of around 10 liters, which drops to just over 8 liters on highways. Given its large size, it's not surprising to see fuel consumption spike to 12 liters in traffic jams, and driving habits play a significant role. Sudden braking and acceleration are particularly fuel-intensive, but I've noticed a clear drop in consumption after adopting a steady driving pace. The air conditioning also has a notable impact—even on highways with a full load and AC on in summer, consumption stays around 9.5 liters. My advice is not to focus too much on fuel consumption during the break-in period; it tends to stabilize after the first maintenance.
