I've been driving the Buick GL8 for a while now, and I've noticed that the fuel consumption in the city is basically around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, which translates to about 0.1 liters per kilometer. On the highway, it can drop to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, or 0.08 liters per kilometer. The car has a spacious interior and is comfortable to ride in, but its fuel consumption is a bit higher than sedans. Driving steadily, avoiding sudden braking, and maintaining proper tire pressure can save a lot of fuel. In the summer, using the air conditioning can increase fuel consumption by about 5%. I make it a habit to perform regular maintenance, changing the engine oil and air filter, which helps keep the fuel consumption between 9 to 11 liters. Overall, the GL8 is suitable for family trips or business use, and keeping the speed moderate can help balance fuel consumption.

What is the difference between floating brake discs and fixed brake discs?

Floating brake discs and fixed brake discs differ in the following ways: 1. Different braking principles: Floating brake discs slide freely on the axle pins matched with the bracket, generating braking torque; Fixed brake discs generate friction and braking torque when the pistons inside the brake calipers extend the brake pads to clamp the brake disc. 2. Different structures: Floating brake discs mean the brake calipers are floating; Fixed brake discs mean the brake calipers are fixed. Situations requiring brake disc replacement include: 1. The thickness of the brake disc is less than the minimum maintenance standard allowed by the vehicle manufacturer; 2. The wear indicator on the brake disc contacts the brake disc; 3. The brake disc exhibits abnormal wear or conical wear.
