The Borgward BX5 uses 95-octane gasoline. The octane rating of gasoline represents only a parameter of its anti-knock performance, with higher ratings indicating better anti-knock performance, and has no relation to purity. Below are some relevant details about the Borgward BX5: 1. Dimensions: The Borgward BX5 has a length, width, and height of 4490mm, 1877mm, and 1675mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2685mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60L, a minimum ground clearance of 186mm, a maximum horsepower of 150, and a maximum power of 110 kW. 2. Related configurations: The Borgward BX5 is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, front MacPherson independent suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension, front-wheel drive, an 8.0-inch touch LCD screen, Bluetooth, a trip computer display, and supports mobile phone connectivity.

I've been driving this car for three years. The sticker inside the fuel filler cap clearly states unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or above. The manual says 92 is sufficient, so don't be fooled by gas station attendants into wasting money on 95. I usually fill up with Sinopec 92-octane, and during maintenance, the mechanic checked the engine condition and said carbon buildup is well controlled. The fuel tank cap release switch is located below the left side of the driver's seat—remember to turn off the engine before refueling. On the highway, a full tank can last for 600 kilometers, and when gas prices rise, it works out to just over 6 cents per kilometer.

What Stickers Should Be Placed on Car Windows?

There are two stickers that should be placed on car windows: the annual inspection sticker and the compulsory traffic insurance sticker. Below are the details: 1. Environmental Protection Sticker. According to the new regulations, the emission inspection cycle for motor vehicles should align with the safety technical inspection cycle. Vehicles exempt from on-site safety inspections are also exempt from emission inspections, meaning that if a vehicle passes the annual inspection, it no longer needs to display the environmental protection sticker. 2. Motor Vehicle Annual Inspection Sticker. The front windshield of a motor vehicle must display not only the annual inspection sticker but also the insurance sticker. Article 13 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" states that the inspection sticker and insurance sticker should be placed in the upper right corner of the front windshield. If a motor vehicle fails to display these stickers as required, traffic police may impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Additionally, failure to display the compulsory insurance sticker may result in both a fine and penalty points.

Why is the GT-R called the Godzilla?

1962–1972: The first-generation GT-R achieved an undefeated streak of 50 races in the Le Mans GT1 category, earning it the title of "Godzilla" among performance car enthusiasts. Here are the highlights of its legendary achievements: 1. 1969–1972: The GT-R dominated the competition, setting an unbeaten record of 50 races, cementing its status as the undefeated "Godzilla" in the hearts of fans. The 1970 two-door GT-R C10, with the highest horsepower output in Japan at the time, far surpassed the modest 120 horsepower of the contemporary 240Z. The KPGC10 claimed victories in various domestic races, gaining fame and becoming a classic. 2. 1988: The extensively refined GT-R proved its mettle in numerous high-end competitions, securing championships in both the All Japan Group A and Group N touring car series. It also achieved a staggering record of 29 wins in 29 appearances in the JTCC. 3. 1989: Launched in August, the R32 inherited the legacy of Nissan's renowned Skyline racing series, incorporating cutting-edge technology to earn titles like "Unbeatable Godzilla" and "King of the Road." As a result, the R32 remains the purest performance-oriented version in the GT-R lineup.

How Should Beginners Observe Rearview Mirrors While Driving?

Here are the methods for beginners to observe rearview mirrors: 1. Central rearview mirror: Adjust it so that you cannot see your own car in the mirror, and position it vertically with the distant horizon in the center of the mirror. 2. Left side mirror: The correct position for the left side mirror is when the body of the car occupies one-fourth of the mirror's width in the horizontal position, and adjust the vertical position accordingly. 3. Right side mirror: When adjusting the vertical position of the right side mirror, two-thirds of the mirror's surface should show the ground. Below are the installation positions of rearview mirrors: 1. Interior rearview mirror: The interior rearview mirror allows the driver to confirm the situation behind without significantly changing the forward line of sight while driving. 2. Exterior rearview mirrors: Passenger cars generally mount the exterior rearview mirrors on the doors. 3. Undercarriage mirror: The undercarriage mirror enables the driver to see areas beyond the front and rear wheels under the car's body through the mirror directly in front of the driver's seat. It helps the driver see if there are people or obstacles near the wheels or beside the car when reversing or starting forward, preventing injuries, damage to objects, and vehicle harm, providing convenience and safety to the driver.

Why is the idle speed high during cold start?

Cars have high idle speed during cold start for the following reasons: 1. High idle speed during startup is normal: (1) The car needs high speed to make the engine reach normal working conditions as soon as possible, requiring a richer mixture, so the intake air volume and fuel injection volume will increase, resulting in higher speed. (2) Increased oil viscosity during cold start: During cold start, the idle stepper motor automatically adjusts to increase the intake air volume, allowing more air to enter the cylinder, so high idle speed is normal. 2. Excessive carbon deposits: Timely cleaning of the throttle and idle motor can generally solve this problem.

What is the speed limit on highways?

The speed limit is 110 km/h, and there are also speed limits of 80 km/h, such as in tunnel sections and mountainous highways, as well as a speed limit of 120 km/h, but these are mostly on multi-lane highways in plain areas. Below are the penalties for speeding based on relevant laws and regulations: According to the actual traffic conditions on highways and the functionality of speed monitoring equipment, the Traffic Police Corps of the Public Security Department stipulates that speed monitoring equipment captures violations based on vehicle-type-specific speed limits, namely: 1. Small passenger vehicles exceeding 120 km/h (excluding 120 km/h) on Hainan Province highways will be automatically captured by speed monitoring equipment; 2. Other vehicles besides small passenger vehicles exceeding 100 km/h (excluding 100 km/h) on Hainan Province highways will be automatically captured by speed monitoring equipment. 3. Small passenger vehicles speeding within 50% (180 km/h) on highways will be fined 200 yuan, while severe traffic violations exceeding 50% (over 180 km/h) will be fined 1,000 yuan and may also result in license revocation; 5. Other vehicles besides small passenger vehicles speeding within 50% (150 km/h) on highways will be fined 200 yuan, while severe traffic violations exceeding 50% (over 150 km/h) will be fined 1,000 yuan and may also result in license revocation.

How to Maintain Car Paint?

There are several main methods for maintaining car paint: 1. For the first wash of a new car, it is best to go to an indoor dust-free hand wash facility or a well-maintained car wash. Some contaminants are not visible to the naked eye, such as tree sap, alkali, acid, and other chemical pollutants, which should be thoroughly removed. 2. Do not wax a new car casually, as the paint layer of a new car already has a protective wax coating. Waxing too early can remove the original wax on the new car's surface, causing unnecessary waste. Generally, there is no need to rush to wax a new car within three months of purchase. 3. Regularly inspect the car body, engine hood, and surrounding areas. If any scratches are found, they should be promptly addressed at a professional detailing shop.
