2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the 2020 Buick GL8 Avenir Aviya version is 70L. The Buick GL8 652T has a fuel tank capacity of 66L, and the Buick GL8 653T has a fuel tank capacity of 70L. These figures are official data. Owners who have purchased the 2020 Buick GL8 can also check the fuel tank capacity on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Buick GL8 Avenir Aviya Four-Seat Premium Edition, Buick GL8 Avenir Aviya Six-Seat Elite Edition, and Buick GL8 Avenir Aviya Seven-Seat Comfort Edition have a combined NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 886km. The Buick GL8 ES Land Baron 653T Smart Flagship, Buick GL8 ES Land Baron 653T Flagship, Buick GL8 ES Land Baron 653T Luxury, Buick GL8 ES Land Baron 653T Premium, and Buick GL8 ES Land Baron 653T Comfort versions have a combined NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 886km. The Buick GL8 Land Business Class 652T Premium Welfare Edition, Buick GL8 Land Business Class 652T Luxury Welfare Edition, and Buick GL8 Land Business Class 652T Premium have a combined NEDC fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100km. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 835km. The Buick GL8 Land Business Class 652T Luxury and Buick GL8 Land Business Class 652T Comfort versions have a combined NEDC fuel consumption of 7.8L per 100km. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 846km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge in the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. In addition, the following factors can affect a car's fuel consumption: Vehicle weight: The relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding reduction in fuel consumption by several percentage points. Car design: A lower drag coefficient will significantly reduce fuel consumption. A higher drag coefficient will noticeably increase fuel consumption, and this relationship is also directly proportional. Low tire pressure: This increases friction and adhesion, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Rapid 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 reduces fuel consumption, while driving on rough or steep roads increases it. Use of additional electronic devices: Using additional equipment like air conditioning during driving increases fuel consumption.
Speaking of the fuel tank capacity of the 2020 Buick GL8, I've checked the specifications – it's 66 liters, which is a reasonably sized design. As a family MPV, the GL8 having a slightly larger fuel tank means that once you fill it up, it can last longer for daily commutes or long-distance trips. Based on its average fuel consumption of 11-12L/100km in the city and 8-9L/100km on highways, the range is approximately 700-800 kilometers. For weekend road trips or city driving, this reduces the hassle of frequent refueling. I believe that when choosing a car, it's practical to consider both fuel tank capacity and fuel consumption rate together, rather than just focusing on the numbers, because driving habits like sudden acceleration or carrying a full load can increase fuel consumption. Overall, the 66-liter capacity is very practical in real-world use, especially for a spacious model like the GL8, striking a balance between economy and utility.
