NMAX's official fuel consumption is 45km/L. Here is an introduction to the NMAX155: Weight: The NMAX155 has an equipped weight of only 130kg, comparable to most 125cc sports scooters on the market. Its 1340mm wheelbase is the same as the sixth-generation Cygnus X, greatly enhancing agility. Energy-saving technology: The NMAX155 is equipped with Blue-Core energy-saving technology, combining high combustion efficiency, high cooling performance, and low power loss. Additionally, the idle stop system automatically shuts off the engine when waiting at a red light. When restarting, it integrates with the SMG intelligent start system to directly drive the crankshaft, reducing vibrations and noise during startup, achieving a fuel consumption level of 45.2km/L. Engine: The NMAX155 is powered by a 155cc Blue-Core liquid-cooled engine, balancing efficiency and performance. Besides excellent energy-saving performance, it features VVA variable valve timing to compensate for the power output gap between low and medium-high RPMs.

I usually commute on my NMAX155, with an actual fuel consumption of 2.2-2.6 liters per 100 kilometers. The bike has a 7.1-liter fuel tank, allowing me to ride about 250 kilometers in stop-and-go city traffic, and an additional 30-40 kilometers on suburban roads. I weigh 70 kilograms, and the fuel consumption increases by 0.3 liters when carrying a passenger. During the first three months after purchase, the fuel consumption was slightly higher but stabilized after the break-in period. I've tried two different oil viscosities and found that 5W-40 saves 0.2 liters compared to 10W-30. Maintaining tire pressure at 28 psi for the front and 32 psi for the rear is the most economical. On my last long-distance ride, keeping the speed around 70 km/h, I managed 300 kilometers before the fuel light came on. Fuel consumption is slightly higher in summer with the air conditioning on, but overall, it's more fuel-efficient than my friend's scooter of the same displacement.

After riding the NMAX155 for two years, I've got plenty to say about fuel consumption. It mainly depends on road conditions. In the city with frequent traffic lights, it's around 2.5 liters, and can go up to 2.8 liters in heavy traffic. Surprisingly, weekend mountain rides are more fuel-efficient, with a minimum of 2.1 liters when maintaining a steady 60 km/h. Modifications have a significant impact; switching to wider tires once increased consumption by 0.3 liters. I prefer using 95-octane fuel, which seems to give me 5% more mileage than 92-octane. Aggressive riding consumes the most fuel—once, in a hurry, I rode full throttle the whole way and nearly hit 3 liters per 100 km. Idling with the fan on also quietly increases fuel consumption, so I turn off the engine if waiting at a red light for more than 30 seconds.

I've owned this NMAX155 for three years and have kept records of its fuel consumption every year. When it was new, it consumed 2.4 liters per 100 km, and now it's stabilized at around 2.3 liters. I always calculate the mileage when refueling. The most fuel-efficient instance was when I drove unloaded on provincial highways during the weekend, achieving 2.0 liters per 100 km. Winter fuel consumption is about 0.2 liters higher than in summer. After installing a windshield modification, the wind resistance at high speeds decreased, making long-distance trips more fuel-efficient. Transmission system maintenance is crucial—when I replaced the transmission cotton at 5,000 km, the fuel consumption dropped by 0.15 liters. Fuel consumption noticeably increases when the rear tire is severely worn. Last week, I went on a short long-distance trip covering 253 km and used 5.7 liters of fuel, averaging 2.25 liters per 100 km. These figures are considered excellent among vehicles in the same class.

Measured fuel consumption under different road conditions: 2.7L/100km during morning rush hour commutes, 2.2L on suburban weekends, and up to 3.1L when climbing hills with passengers. Tire pressure has a greater impact than expected - just 1Pa underinflation in the rear tires increases consumption by 0.15L. Always use MA-grade engine oil; I tried automotive oil and it actually wasted more fuel. The air filter must be replaced every 5,000km - last time I delayed replacement and fuel consumption increased by 0.2L. It's best to consistently refuel at Sinopec stations as smaller gas stations have poorer quality fuel that reduces engine power and increases consumption. Overloading the storage box also affects fuel economy - last time I filled it with tools and consumption rose by 0.3L. The most fuel-efficient riding technique is anticipating road conditions to minimize braking while maintaining speeds between 45-60km/h.

From an economic perspective, here's a reference: My NMAX 155 runs 1,000 km per month with an average fuel consumption of 2.4 liters per 100 km. Currently, 92-octane gasoline costs 7.8 yuan per liter, resulting in a monthly fuel expense of 187 yuan. This saves me 23 yuan per month compared to my friend's PCX 160. A full tank typically lasts 280-310 km. Modifying the transmission can reduce fuel consumption but costs money; a fuel-saving gear costing over 3,000 yuan would cover a year's worth of fuel for me. For long trips, installing a tail box is recommended for better fuel efficiency—actual tests show it saves 0.2 liters compared to using a backpack. Switching to wider tires increases fuel consumption by 10% but significantly improves cornering stability. To save money, regularly replacing the air filter is advised, as it affects fuel consumption by 0.3 liters, saving 9 yuan per month. What satisfies me most about this bike is its stable fuel consumption—it hasn’t exceeded 2.8 liters over three years.

Do I need to handle traffic violations for the biennial inspection of a new car?

New cars require handling traffic violations for the biennial inspection. Vehicle annual inspection: It refers to a mandatory inspection for every vehicle, equivalent to a physical examination for the vehicle, aiming to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents, commonly known as vehicle inspection. On May 16, 2014, the Ministry of Public Security and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening and Improving Motor Vehicle Inspection Work," introducing a series of new measures such as exempting non-operational passenger cars from on-site inspections within six years, implementing cross-regional vehicle inspections, and comprehensively promoting the socialization of inspection institutions. These measures aim to make motor vehicle inspections more stringent and standardized, thereby increasing public satisfaction. Legal provisions: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within five years; after five years, they must be inspected every six months. Starting from September 1, 2014, a trial exemption system was implemented for non-operational passenger cars and other small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans and vehicles with seven or more seats) within six years. During this period, vehicle owners only need to provide proof of compulsory traffic insurance and evidence of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption every two years to directly apply for the inspection mark from the traffic management department of the public security authorities.

Is the engine oil for diesel cars the same as that for gasoline cars?

Diesel engine oil and gasoline engine oil are not the same. The specific differences are as follows: 1. Diesel engine oil with the same viscosity grade has a higher viscosity than gasoline engine oil. If diesel engine oil of the same viscosity grade is used in a gasoline engine, it will cause problems: (1) It will lead to excessive engine temperature. The viscosity of diesel engine oil is greater than that of gasoline engine oil, resulting in greater friction, which causes the engine temperature to rise. The increase in temperature accelerates oil deterioration, reducing the lifespan of the oil. (2) It increases wear during cold starts. If the oil viscosity is too high, the oil supply is too slow during cold starts, especially in extremely cold climates. Although the oil pressure is high, the pumpability of the oil is poor, leading to dry friction, which is the main cause of engine wear. 2. The oil grades are different. The API grade represents the quality grade of engine oil, which is generally divided into two categories: the S series represents oil for gasoline engines, and the C series represents oil for diesel engines. If the oil has both S and C labels, it is a universal oil suitable for both diesel and gasoline vehicles. Diesel engine oil cannot be used in gasoline engines, and gasoline engine oil cannot be used in diesel engines. The additives are different, and interchanging them will cause engine damage.

Is Driving a New Car Uphill Harmful to the Vehicle?

Driving a new car uphill during the break-in period does not harm the engine as long as the RPM is normal. However, if the car is fully loaded during the break-in period, it can cause damage to the mechanical components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers of driving, it is generally recommended not to exceed 75% of the rated load capacity. During the break-in period, it is important to avoid sudden braking and long-distance driving. Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. Additionally, long-distance driving during the break-in period increases the continuous working time of the engine, which can lead to accelerated wear of mechanical parts. Generally, the break-in period of a new car is divided into three stages: initial, middle, and late. The initial stage covers the first 500 kilometers, the middle stage spans 500 to 1,000 kilometers, and the late stage extends from 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. These stages are designed to ensure the car breaks in smoothly and enhances its performance. During the break-in period, it is advisable to drive steadily, avoiding sudden acceleration or hard braking, as these actions can significantly damage the vehicle.

Does idling with the AC on affect the car?

It is perfectly fine to idle the car with the air conditioning running. This is considered idling with the AC on and will not harm the vehicle. As for whether idling with the AC on is harmful, since the engine is already running, the alternator is working, and the compressor is operating, it is a normal operation and will not cause significant damage to the car. Precautions when starting the vehicle: Do not activate the start-stop system when the AC is on. Vehicles equipped with air conditioning enhance passenger comfort, but most cars with start-stop systems will only blow air without cooling (heating relies on the vehicle's coolant temperature) when the engine is off, significantly reducing comfort. Do not refuel when the start-stop system turns off the engine. Many drivers do not exit the vehicle when refueling; they simply open the fuel tank cap for the attendant to fill up. At this point, the vehicle is only briefly turned off by the start-stop system and may restart at any moment, making refueling extremely dangerous. Remember, the vehicle must be completely turned off and powered down before refueling. Key points when using the AC inside the car: Pay close attention to the method and duration of AC usage. Sleeping in the car with the AC on while idling can easily lead to accidents.
