After cleaning, the fuel injector's spray diameter increases, leading to more fuel being injected per unit time, which results in higher fuel consumption. Due to the lack of proper calibration after cleaning the throttle body, the ECU's detection program continues to calculate and adjust the fuel injection quantity based on the original throttle body settings.

What is the highest fuel consumption of a Hummer?

Under conditions such as heavy load, city driving, or other scenarios, fuel consumption can reach around 30L. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Enhance vehicle maintenance. The adjustment and maintenance of the vehicle affect engine performance and driving resistance. According to statistics, poor maintenance can increase fuel consumption by 10% to 20%. Regularly visit an auto repair shop for routine maintenance, such as checking tire pressure, performing wheel alignment, adjusting the gap between brake pads and brake drums, lubricating the chassis lubrication points, changing the engine oil on schedule, and inspecting filters. Additionally, choose the least viscous engine oil specified in the manual, as higher viscosity increases friction, leading to higher fuel consumption. Reasons for high fuel consumption: Using higher viscosity engine oil increases resistance during engine operation. Prolonged idling can lead to more carbon deposits, and the engine injects more fuel to maintain operation at low temperatures. Long-term short-distance driving, carrying heavy loads for extended periods, low tire pressure, installing wider tires, frequent stop-and-go driving, aggressive driving habits, driving with windows open at high speeds, and using gears that are too low or too high.

What does the motor vehicle transfer registration application mean?

Motor vehicle transfer registration refers to the process of changing the vehicle's administrative jurisdiction when it is moved from one city to another. This requires changing the license plate and vehicle registration certificate, and the procedures must be completed at two different vehicle management offices, including both the transfer-out and transfer-in procedures. The process of registering a vehicle in a different location can be handled by the owner or delegated to someone else. The processing time for a motor vehicle transfer registration typically takes 1-3 days. Motor vehicle transfer registration refers to the change of vehicle ownership due to the owner's relocation or moving into the jurisdiction of another vehicle management office, which requires filing an application with the original registration office. Required materials and procedures: Document submission: Apply for the motor vehicle transfer registration (transfer-out) procedure at the local vehicle safety management office, collect the vehicle's archival documents, and then return to the original jurisdiction to apply for the motor vehicle transfer registration (transfer-in) procedure. Vehicle inspection: Drive the vehicle to the inspection office for an external inspection, remove the license plate, take a photo of the vehicle, collect the vehicle photo, and paste it on the "Inspection Record Form." Then, proceed to the main hall to complete the filing procedures. License plate selection: After the machine processing, collect the relevant materials, queue up, and pay the transfer fee. Transfer and registration: Required materials include the "Motor Vehicle Registration, Transfer, and Cancellation Form/Transfer Application Form," inspection record form, original motor vehicle property rights certificate, original vehicle registration certificate, original driver's license, original ID card of the buyer, original license plate, vehicle photo, and transfer invoice from the trading market, among others.

What is the wading depth of the 10th-generation Accord?

The maximum wading depth of the 10th-generation Accord is 350-400mm. The wading depth of the 10th-generation Accord is determined by the vehicle's ground clearance, which is listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally speaking, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the 10th-generation Accord is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause serious damage to the engine's mechanical structure (connecting rods, pistons, crankshaft, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before wading, always turn off the automatic start-stop function to prevent the vehicle from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause serious damage to the engine due to water intake; Judge the underwater road conditions based on the passage of the vehicle ahead and choose a suitable entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration; On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, and reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to judge the water depth before deciding whether to proceed; Understand your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not enter the water rashly; choose an alternative route instead.

What is the fuel consumption of the Mercedes-Benz GLC300?

The Mercedes-Benz GLC300 currently has 8 models on sale. Among them, the Mercedes-Benz GLC-2022-GLC-300L-4MATIC Dynamic Edition Premium Collection, Modified Dynamic Edition, Modified Luxury Edition, and Modified Luxury Edition II are equipped with a 258-horsepower engine, with a combined fuel consumption of 8.7L/100Km. The Modified Dynamic Edition has a combined fuel consumption of 8.55L/100km, accelerates from 0-100km/h in 6.9 seconds, and has a fuel tank capacity of 66L. The GLC is a medium-sized SUV under the Mercedes-Benz brand, and this model uses two types of engines: a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The distance a Mercedes-Benz GLC300 can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: Equipped with a 258-horsepower engine and a fuel tank capacity of 66L, the Modified Luxury Edition II can travel 758 kilometers on a full tank. The Modified Dynamic Edition can travel 771 kilometers on a full tank. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
