What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2014 Buick GL8?
1 Answers
2014 Buick GL8 has a fuel tank capacity of 77L. This data is official. Owners of the 2014 Buick GL8 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2014 Buick GL8 comes with two different engine displacements. The model with a 2.4L displacement uses 92-octane fuel, has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 10.2L/100km, and can travel approximately 754km on a full tank. The model with a 3.0L displacement also uses 92-octane fuel, has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 11.1L/100km, and can travel approximately 693km on a full tank. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the remaining fuel. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel can expand due to temperature increases without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked capacity. Other factors affecting fuel consumption include: Vehicle weight: There is a direct correlation between vehicle weight and fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding reduction in fuel consumption. Vehicle aerodynamics: A lower drag coefficient results in lower fuel consumption, while a higher drag coefficient increases fuel consumption. Tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases friction and adhesion, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Aggressive acceleration and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption. Wind direction: Driving with a tailwind reduces fuel consumption, while driving against a headwind increases engine workload and fuel consumption. Road conditions: Driving on flat roads consumes less fuel compared to rough or steep roads. Additional electronic devices: Using extra equipment like air conditioning increases fuel consumption.
