I've been driving a Toyota Highlander for a while now, with fuel consumption typically around 19-21 mpg in the city and 26-28 mpg on the highway. The hybrid version is more fuel-efficient, achieving a combined mileage of 35-36 mpg. There are quite a few factors that affect fuel consumption: aggressive driving habits can increase fuel usage by 10%-20%, such as rapid acceleration or hard braking; carrying more weight, especially during family trips with luggage, will raise fuel consumption; road conditions like traffic jams or uphill driving also increase fuel usage. Insufficient tire pressure can lead to about 5% more fuel consumption, so I check my tire pressure monthly; seasonal changes, like using air conditioning in summer or heating in winter, can slightly increase fuel consumption by 1-2 mpg. Compared to other SUVs in the same class, the Highlander's fuel efficiency is above average. Regular maintenance, such as replacing the air filter, can help save some fuel. Overall, it strikes a good balance between practicality and economy.

What Are the Long-Term Effects of Water Getting Into a Car?

If you forgot to close the car window during rain and only a small amount of water got in, it indicates minimal impact. However, for safety, it's best not to turn on any electronic devices in the car, such as lights or starting the engine, to prevent short circuits caused by water exposure. You can use the key to open the door, and if it's still raining, cover the car with an umbrella or waterproof cloth. Here are emergency measures for water entering the exhaust pipe: Do not force ignition: If the exhaust pipe takes in water and the engine stalls, do not attempt to restart it. Instead, call for roadside assistance immediately. After a simple cleaning and drying, the engine will resume normal operation, and the repair costs are relatively low, making it easier for insurance claims. Observe carefully: Check if the vehicles ahead can pass through. If the water depth exceeds half of the wheel height, it's best not to force your way through. Avoid speeding: Drive slowly through water. Speeding can cause water waves stirred up by the wheels to enter the exhaust pipe, leading to engine stalling.

Seal stamping: Stamp with the same seal as the original registration, and private vehicles must submit the owner's ID card for verification. Review: Go to the Vehicle Management Section of the Traffic Police Brigade and submit the documents to the registration acceptance counter for review by the handler. Inspection: Vehicles that meet the transfer conditions are sent to the motor vehicle inspection counter for inspection and approval. Payment: After passing the inspection, for transfers or changes within the same county or city, go directly to the license plate management counter to wait for notification of payment.

Can I claim insurance for water damage to my car?

Yes. Heavy rain has met the conditions for a natural disaster, so basically all damages to the vehicle can be compensated through auto damage insurance. If the vehicle is soaked in water, as long as the engine is not flooded, only replacing parts or repairing circuits, etc., are covered by auto damage insurance. Even if the entire car body is submerged by heavy rain, resulting in a total loss of the car, the insurance company can compensate according to the total loss. The following situations are exceptions: However, in one case, the insurance company will not compensate. That is, if the owner still forcibly starts the vehicle after it has been flooded, the resulting damage will not be covered. If encountering road flooding, and the vehicle damage is caused by the owner driving through the water despite foreseeable risks, the insurance company will not compensate. But most car owners are not aware of this rule. Therefore, it is necessary to remind car owners that when the vehicle stalls due to heavy rain, do not attempt to restart the vehicle. Instead, try to tow the vehicle out of the water and immediately call the insurance company to report the claim, letting the insurance company staff handle the situation.

Will the engine take in water if the car passes through water without stalling?

It will not take in water. Here is the explanation of whether the engine will take in water when the car passes through water without stalling: Water entry points: If the car does not stall, there is no water entry. The engine is a fully sealed environment, with the only possible water entry points being the air intake and exhaust ports. No water entry: The exhaust port will not take in water while operating. Therefore, as long as the air intake is higher than the water surface, there will be no water entry. If the engine takes in water, the car will stall; if the car does not stall, it means no water has entered. Below is extended information on water-affected vehicles: Specific definition of water-affected vehicles: The vehicle begins to accumulate water, and internal components are damaged due to water exposure, with corresponding flood levels for water-affected vehicles. Classification of water-affected vehicle flood levels: Level 1 is when water just reaches the vehicle chassis, Level 2 is when water reaches half of the wheels, Level 3 is when water almost completely submerges the tires, Level 4 is when water reaches the engine hood, Level 5 is when water completely submerges the engine hood, and Level 6 is when water submerges the roof.

Is it safe to leave the car in the repair shop for 3 days?

It is safe to leave the car in the repair shop for 3 days, but you need to take away your valuables. Here is more relevant information: Designated repair shop special clause: Generally, the repair prices at 4S shops are much higher than those at ordinary repair shops. Therefore, many insurance companies, considering cost issues, often hope that customers will go to ordinary repair shops for repairs, while customers, for peace of mind, prefer to go to 4S shops. Such conflicts often occur between insurance companies and policyholders during the car damage insurance claims process. To solve this problem, after an application by insurance companies, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued a reply, agreeing that six insurance companies, including Pacific Property Insurance and PICC Auto Insurance, could use the "Designated Repair Shop Special Clause" and corresponding rates, resolving the conflict between high-end car owners who are willing to pay more premiums for 4S shop repairs and insurance companies. When repairing your car at a repair shop, pay attention to the following points: (1) Oil change: The amount of oil used by a car is usually between 4 to 5 liters, often in the awkward situation where one barrel is not enough, but two barrels are too much. (2) Mechanical parts: It is almost impossible to tell whether mechanical parts are good or bad or if they have been refurbished. (3) Brakes: When you notice a decrease in the car's braking force, it is often directly suggested to replace the brake pads or discs. In fact, simply cleaning them with a cleaning agent and replacing the brake fluid can often solve the problem.
