I've been driving a Buick Excelle 1.5L for three years, commuting daily in the city. The real-world fuel consumption typically ranges between 8 to 9 liters, reaching up to 10 liters in heavy traffic, but easily dropping to just over 6 liters on highways. The key to fuel efficiency is smooth driving—avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking can easily save 1 liter. Maintaining tire pressure at the recommended level is crucial; too low increases resistance. Running the air conditioning at full blast consumes more fuel, so in summer I try to use just the fan. Regular maintenance is vital—changing the engine oil and air filter periodically ensures the engine runs efficiently, keeping fuel consumption stable at around 7 liters on long trips. The car's weight is a factor, and extra luggage affects it too, so I manage the load. Overall, the average is slightly over 8 liters, a bit higher than the official claim of 7 liters but still acceptable for daily use.
