How to Judge the Distance Between Cars When Driving?

A following distance of about 2 meters is generally appropriate. Being too close can easily lead to rear-end collisions, while being too far may allow other vehicles to cut in. Normally, drivers can judge the distance by observing the position of the rear bumper and tires of the preceding vehicle from the outline of their own car's front: How to judge the distance between cars on the left, right, front, and rear To determine the position of the left wheel, we need to know where the left wheel will pass to avoid running over solid lines or obstacles like potholes and rocks on the road. When our line of sight aligns the protruding node of the left wiper with an object on the ground, the left wheel will pass over that object. For example, in the following illustration, if the wiper node aligns with the centerline on the ground, the tire will run over the centerline.

What does 3T on tires mean?

The 3T marking on tires refers to the Treadwear Index, Traction Index, and Temperature Index. The Treadwear Index indicates the tire's wear resistance—the higher the number, the more wear-resistant the tire is, but the harder the rubber becomes, resulting in reduced comfort. Conversely, a lower number means less wear resistance, softer rubber, and better comfort. Below are the specific details of the 3T indicators: 1. TREADWEAR (Wear Resistance Index). The higher the number following this, the more wear-resistant the tire is. For typical family sedans, the number is usually above 300, indicating relatively high wear resistance. Performance tires with superior grip, however, often have numbers below 200. 2. TRACTION (Traction Ability). The Traction Index measures the tire's grip performance on wet surfaces, categorized into four grades: AA, A, B, and C. 3. TEMPERATURE (Temperature Index). The Temperature Index grade reflects the tire's heat dissipation capability.

Which is More Fuel-Efficient: Naturally Aspirated or Turbocharged?

Naturally aspirated engines are generally more fuel-efficient than turbocharged engines. Typically, the fuel consumption of a 1.8T turbocharged engine is equivalent to that of a naturally aspirated 2.0-2.4L model. The main reason is that turbocharging only increases pressure within the same cylinder volume to achieve better power and torque performance. With increased air pressure, gasoline consumption cannot be too low. Additional information: 1. A turbocharged engine refers to an engine equipped with a turbocharger. 2. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases intake air volume by compressing air. It utilizes the inertial force of exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller then compresses the air delivered from the air filter pipe, pressurizing it before it enters the cylinder.

What is Considered Normal Engine Oil Consumption?

For imported foreign models, the normal range is generally 0.1-0.2g/kWh, with German models being slightly higher. The following factors affect engine oil consumption: 1. Oil viscosity. Lower viscosity oil has relatively poorer sealing performance, leading to increased oil being drawn into the combustion chamber. 2. Driving conditions. High-speed driving and frequent acceleration/deceleration will increase oil consumption. Different operating conditions result in varying oil consumption levels. 3. Poor fuel quality can easily cause carbon deposits to form in the piston ring grooves, which may eventually lead to stuck piston rings over time. 4. After a certain mileage, wear on piston rings and cylinder walls may cause the clearance to exceed limits, allowing small amounts of oil to enter the combustion chamber and result in genuine oil burning. 5. Damaged or hardened/aged valve stem seals. When assessing oil consumption, it's important to note that thinning oil makes it difficult to accurately determine the true oil level.
