The fuel tank capacity of the Forester is 63 liters, as officially announced. The Forester uses 92-octane gasoline with a fuel consumption of 7.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 807km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the remaining fuel. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. In actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

I drive a Forester as my daily commuter, and its fuel tank capacity is around 60 liters. With an average fuel consumption of 10 liters per 100 kilometers, a full tank can take me about 600 kilometers, which is particularly practical for me. For my daily commute and weekend trips to the suburbs, I rarely need to visit gas stations, saving me a lot of time and energy. On weekends, when I take my family camping or to the beach, not having to refuel mid-journey gives me peace of mind, and the kids don’t get restless. The capacity is moderate for a compact SUV—larger than the 50-liter tanks in smaller cars but smaller than the 70-liter tanks in some large off-road vehicles, striking a good balance between space and weight. The fuel efficiency is well-controlled, helping me save on expenses during times of high fuel prices. The low-positioned fuel tank design prevents scraping the chassis when parking, and its reliability has always been solid. Overall, I feel that 60 liters is the golden size for family use—durable and economical.

What is the equivalent displacement of the Magotan 330?

The Magotan 330 is equivalent to a 1.8L or 2.0L displacement. Engine displacement refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or expelled per stroke or cycle. The space volume that the piston moves from the top dead center to the bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement. If the engine has multiple cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is called the engine displacement. The Magotan is a mid-size sedan under the Volkswagen brand, classified as a B-segment car. The vehicle measures 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2812mm.

Can I Get My License Plate Immediately After Choosing a Number On-Site for a New Car?

After randomly selecting a license plate number, you can usually get the plate on the same day. For self-selected plates, it typically takes about a week. Regulations: For the "50 choose 1" selection method, plates are usually issued the same day. If you choose a custom plate, it generally takes a few days. If there are many people registering plates, the processing time may naturally be extended. Methods: The processing time for self-selection and one-time selection is 5 minutes. If you don’t select a number the first time, you can try again after five minutes. When selecting, make sure to fully utilize the selection rules. Prepare three preferred numbers in advance and input them in order on the selection machine. If all three numbers have already been taken, you can use the "similar number query" function. The machine will then provide six similar numbers based on the first number you entered, from which you can choose. If none of the six are suitable, the machine offers a "fuzzy query" function. You can input a question mark (?) in place of certain digits along with the remaining numbers, then press the fuzzy query key to search. Note that you can use no more than two question marks.

Is It Safe to Keep the Vehicle Registration Certificate in the Car?

No, it is not safe. While the vehicle license can be kept in the car, the vehicle registration certificate should be stored at home. As long as you are not selling the car, there is no need to carry the green book (vehicle registration certificate) with you. Vehicle License: Also known as the motor vehicle license, it is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. The Motor Vehicle License is an important document recognized by Chinese laws and regulations, playing a significant role. Motor vehicle drivers must attach great importance to it to protect their legitimate rights and interests from being infringed. Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate: If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, the owner of the motor vehicle should apply for a replacement or reissuance at the local vehicle management office. When applying, the owner must fill out an application form and submit identity proof. For a replacement of the motor vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle must also be inspected. The vehicle management office should confirm the motor vehicle, review the submitted proofs and certificates, and reissue or replace the motor vehicle registration certificate within one day from the date of acceptance.

What Causes the Insufficient Battery Warning on the Car's Central Control Screen?

The reason for the insufficient battery warning displayed on the car's central control screen may be due to low battery voltage. Here are the specific details: 1. Cause: To confirm low battery power, observe the vehicle's ignition performance during winter mornings. If the ignition is slower than usual, requiring multiple attempts, or the battery seems strained, it indicates low battery voltage. Another way to check is by observing the headlights during ignition—if they dim, it signifies insufficient battery power and requires attention. 2. Solution: If the battery charge is low during winter, it's advisable to recharge the battery by driving for about half an hour, preferably on highways or elevated roads. For cars experiencing low battery issues, drive the vehicle every three to four days. In winter, park the car in a garage to avoid prolonged exposure to low outdoor temperatures, which can further deplete the battery, as garages generally maintain higher temperatures. Avoid using the radio, lights, etc., after turning off the engine if the battery is low. Additionally, replace the battery if it has been in use for two and a half to three years.

What Three Points to Look at for Straight Driving?

The so-called "three-point alignment" refers to the projection points on the ground formed by the driver's eyes, any point on the car, and the ray connecting the first two points during driving. The "alignment" refers to the ray connecting the first two points. While driving, the driver can observe the distance between the second and third points and surrounding obstacles, thereby determining the distance between the car and the surrounding obstacles. This provides an important reference for maintaining a safe distance between the car and surrounding obstacles. Relevant information about the driver's license test is as follows: 1. Introduction: The driver's test is a qualification examination conducted by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate a motor vehicle. 2. Content: The test for motor vehicle drivers is divided into the following subjects: the subject of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (also known as the "theoretical test," abbreviated as "Subject One"), the subject of field driving skills (commonly known as the "pole test," abbreviated as "Subject Two"), and the subject of road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge (commonly known as the "road test," abbreviated as "Subject Three"). The test content and passing standards are uniform nationwide, with corresponding test items specified for different types of vehicles.

Is There a Concept of Fully Synthetic Transmission Oil?

Transmission oil can be fully synthetic. Fully Synthetic Oil: Fully synthetic oil is formulated using special structured esters and PAO (Polyalphaolefin) fully synthetic base oils as raw materials, combined with the latest global composite additive technology, and blended through advanced processes. It represents the pinnacle of gasoline engine oils worldwide. Performance: Oxidation Stability: Its antioxidant capacity is approximately 25% higher than that of conventional fully synthetic oils, more effectively controlling oil oxidation and degradation, thereby extending the oil change interval. Detergency and Dispersancy: Its cleaning and dispersing performance is over five times that of mineral oils, significantly reducing deposit formation, preventing engine wear, maintaining robust engine power, and reducing fuel consumption. Excellent Low-Temperature Fluidity: Ensures smooth engine starts even at temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius. Note: Avoid mixing or misuse during application; when adding oil, it must be stored in a cool, dry place, sealed and protected from light, with a storage temperature range of -20 to 40 degrees Celsius; unopened fully synthetic oil has a shelf life of three years. If used beyond this period, it requires re-inspection and must meet quality standards.
