Buick Excelle XT 16T has high fuel consumption. The reasons are as follows: 1. The car is heavy, nearly 1.5 tons, slightly heavier than its peers. 2. The tires are wide, reaching 225mm, which is also among the top in its class. Compared to similar models, this to some extent leads to higher fuel consumption. 3. The transmission and engine are not well matched, and the transmission efficiency is not very high. 4. The engine itself lacks new technology support such as direct fuel injection. Additional information: Methods to reduce fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer. Air conditioning failure may also be an important reason for high fuel consumption. If the air conditioning cooling effect is not good, many people will increase the fan speed and lower the temperature to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent sudden braking is the main cause of high fuel consumption. Data from hybrid models with kinetic energy storage show that their fuel consumption is about 40% lower than that of similar models. This side data also reflects that the comprehensive fuel consumption in urban areas is high, which is obviously related to frequent sudden braking.

Is the car film applied to the inside or outside?

Car film is applied to the inside, except for the current modification films that change color, because applying it to the inside avoids exposure to wind and rain, slowing down aging. This prevents the car film from being subjected to excessive external interference during use, which could lead to a short lifespan, poor adhesion causing peeling or lifting edges, and other issues. If applied to the outside of the glass, it is also prone to scratches or damage from other objects. Car film is a thin layer applied to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof. This thin layer is also called solar film or heat insulation film, and its functions include blocking ultraviolet rays, reducing heat, preventing injuries from shattered glass, reducing glare, and, based on the one-way transparency of the solar film, protecting personal privacy.

What's the matter with the tire pressure warning?

The main reasons for the car's tire pressure warning are: 1. The tire pressure data was not reset after tire repair or inflation. After repairing or inflating the tire, the tire pressure data needs to be reset. Otherwise, even if the tire pressure is normal, the monitoring system will retain the original fault code, so the tire pressure light will still be on. Generally, you just need to go to a 4S shop and ask the staff to use a decoder to clear the original fault code. If there is a tire pressure reset button on the car, you can also perform a manual reset. 2. The battery of the tire pressure sensor is dead. Tire pressure monitoring sensors can be divided into external and internal types based on their installation position. The external type is installed on the tire's valve stem, while the internal type is installed inside the tire. Both types of sensors require batteries to operate. The battery life of the external type is 1-2 years, and the internal type is 5-8 years. Once the battery is exhausted, the tire pressure sensor will not work, causing the tire pressure light to come on even though the tire pressure is normal. 3. Valve stem leakage, the car being idle for too long, or external temperature effects. When the car's tire pressure is abnormal, the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard will come on. At this time, the owner should pay attention to checking the tires. If the tire pressure light comes on while driving, it is best to reduce speed, control the steering wheel, and find a safe place to check. Whether the tire pressure light disappears afterward or not, it is necessary to go to a nearby repair shop for a recheck as a precaution.

How Far Can a Motorcycle Travel in One Day?

If riding at the most ideal speed with a full tank of fuel, the longest riding distance in one day can reach approximately 120 kilometers. Below is an introduction to the distances motorcycles with different displacements can cover: 1. The distance a motorcycle can travel in one day varies depending on the engine type and the vehicle's displacement. Motorcycles with a displacement of over 150 milliliters and water-cooled engines can continuously travel about 200 kilometers; 2. For underbone motorcycles or standard motorcycles with a displacement of around 110 milliliters, it is recommended not to exceed 100 kilometers due to engine heat dissipation issues. Due to cooling differentials, scooters are not recommended for continuous travel over 50 kilometers.

How many points are deducted for stalling without returning to neutral in Subject 2?

Stalling without returning to neutral in Subject 2 results in a deduction of 100 points. Below are the relevant details: 1. Common point deductions in Subject 2 include: failure to use the seatbelt as required; blocking or turning off the in-car audio-video monitoring equipment; not following the examiner's instructions; inability to correctly use vehicle components such as lights and wipers; the vehicle rolling backward more than 30 cm during startup; driving with both hands off the steering wheel; prolonged mismatch between gear and speed, causing the engine RPM to be too high or too low. Additionally, each test item has specific deduction rules. 2. Specific deduction items: For hill-start and parking, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm, 100 points are deducted. If the startup time exceeds 30 seconds after stopping, 100 points are deducted. If the vehicle's wheels roll over the road edge line while parking, 100 points are deducted. If the vehicle body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line and the parking brake is not properly engaged, 100 points are deducted. If the body is between 30 cm and 50 cm from the road edge line, 10 points are deducted. If the vehicle rolls back between 10 cm and 30 cm during startup, 5 points are deducted. For parallel parking, exiting the line after parking or failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal when exiting the garage results in a 100-point deduction. Exceeding 90 seconds to complete the task deducts 10 points. Contacting the garage edge with the vehicle body deducts 100 points. Each time the wheels touch the lane edge during movement, 10 points are deducted. Parking for more than 2 seconds deducts 10 points, and each occurrence deducts 5 points.
