Reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Peugeot 2008: 1. Driving habits: Rapid acceleration and sudden braking in urban driving and speeding can increase fuel consumption by 5% to 30%. Prolonged idling also raises fuel consumption because the vehicle consumes energy as long as it is running. Maintaining a steady speed as much as possible can effectively reduce fuel consumption. 2. External environment: Road conditions and weather temperature can affect fuel consumption. Generally, smooth roads are more fuel-efficient than bumpy ones, straight roads are better than winding ones, and clear roads are more efficient than congested ones. In hot summer weather, air conditioning cooling consumes additional fuel. In winter, low temperatures prevent gasoline from reaching the optimal combustion temperature, leading to incomplete combustion and increased fuel consumption. 3. Vehicle maintenance: Car maintenance includes checking tire pressure and cleaning carbon deposits. Regularly inspect and adjust tire pressure. Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the road, raising driving resistance and fuel consumption. Additionally, dirt and grease on the engine surface can hinder heat dissipation, leading to higher fuel consumption. Proper vehicle maintenance is a crucial method for reducing fuel consumption. Regular inspections and maintenance not only lower fuel consumption but also extend the vehicle's lifespan and prevent unexpected issues.

What is the minimum number of points required to retain on a driver's license?

At least one point must remain on the driver's license. The following are the relevant laws and regulations: 1. Accumulating 12 points in one cycle: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points in a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain their motor vehicle driver's license. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points or more twice in one scoring cycle, or accumulates 24 points or more, the vehicle management office shall also conduct a road driving skills test within ten days after the driver passes the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. 2. Not reaching 12 points in one cycle: If a motor vehicle driver does not accumulate 12 points in a scoring cycle and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the points have not reached 12 points but there are still unpaid fines, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle.

Does ETC Need to Be Powered?

Installing ETC does not require charging as it uses its own built-in power source. The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but there is no need to charge the battery during normal use because there is a solar panel on the back of the battery that can charge itself. During installation, it is necessary to avoid the black areas on the windshield. The built-in power source of ETC typically has a battery life cycle of 3-5 years. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their personal name. How ETC works: The onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. Using computer networking technology, it settles payments with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-saving: Reduces wear and fuel consumption by minimizing vehicle starts and stops; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more advanced, faster, and higher-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

Can I Change to Wider Tires Without Changing the Wheel Hub?

Yes, you can. But the change should not be too significant. For example, taking a 195 tire as an example, you can change from 195 to 205 without altering the wheel hub, as there are no national regulations prohibiting the use of tires one size larger. However, you must not change the size of the wheel hub; it must match the original factory hub size. If you modify the wheel hub size and are caught by traffic police, you may face penalties requiring you to restore it to the original condition. Generally, a 195 tire is paired with a 15-inch wheel hub, while a 205 tire is paired with a 16-inch wheel hub. A 15-inch wheel hub can accommodate a maximum of a 205 tire, but it is still recommended to use a 16-inch wheel hub. The numbers 195 and 205 represent the tire's cross-sectional width: 195 means the tire width is 195mm, and 205 means the tire width is 205mm. The parameters on the tire have the following meanings: the first number represents the tire width, the second number represents the aspect ratio, and the third number represents the suitable wheel hub diameter. Taking 225/55R18 as an example, these numbers mean: 225 indicates the tire section width in millimeters, generally ranging from 145 to 285mm in increments of 10mm; 55 is the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire sidewall height to the tire section width, representing 55%. Typically, the aspect ratio ranges from 30% to 80%. Normally, ordinary sedans should not use tires with an aspect ratio greater than 75%, while luxury cars and high-performance sports cars are recommended to use tires with an aspect ratio <60%; R stands for Radial, indicating the tire has a radial structure, and 15 is the outer diameter of the wheel hub in inches.
