Why Do Buick Cars Consume So Much Fuel?

[LeDakota]

Buick cars consume fuel quickly for the following reasons: 1. Small displacement with heavy body weight. 2. To cater to domestic family needs, most models use 1.6L engines while the vehicle itself is heavy, forcing the engine to operate at high RPMs. 3. Outdated engine and transmission technology, with some models still using 4-speed transmissions. Below are methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Essential summer AC system inspection: AC malfunctions can significantly increase fuel usage. If cooling efficiency is poor, many drivers increase fan speed and lower temperature settings for comfort. Since AC directly impacts summer fuel consumption, timely maintenance is crucial. 2. Frequent hard braking is a primary cause of high fuel consumption: Data from hybrid vehicles with kinetic energy storage systems shows 40% lower fuel consumption compared to conventional counterparts, demonstrating clear correlation between urban driving conditions and frequent braking. 4. Avoid aggressive AC usage in small-displacement vehicles: For sun-exposed vehicles, don't activate AC immediately. Instead, open windows and set fans to high speed to vent hot air before gradually introducing AC cooling.
