Carrying 500 jin (250 kg) of cargo in an SUV can damage the vehicle. Below are the hazards of overloading: Braking performance: Vehicle load directly affects braking distance, which is a critical factor in stopping performance. Due to increased inertia, overloaded vehicles require longer braking distances. The expanded danger zone between vehicles can easily lead to traffic accidents. If the weight is concentrated in the trunk area, the rear of the vehicle will sag downward, affecting driving dynamics. This is particularly dangerous during uphill, downhill, and turning maneuvers, where loss of control becomes more likely. Leaf spring usage: Overloading the drivetrain and leaf springs causes continuous rebound during operation, significantly shortening the springs' service life.

Should the Buick Regal use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Buick Regal should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will also be indicated. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should choose 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should choose 95 octane gasoline. However, with the use of some new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be determined solely by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be adjusted to use lower-grade gasoline because, in addition to the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Buick Regal occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after use. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower-grade gasoline, using higher-grade gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will change the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, and the actual feedback experience is reduced performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher-grade gasoline, using lower-grade gasoline can cause engine knocking. Because the octane number is too low, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing it to ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires during the compression stroke, resistance will occur during the upward stroke. This resistance will make the engine run very unstably. If it is mild knocking, it only increases noise and does not significantly damage the engine. However, if there is obvious knocking, it indicates that the engine's condition is very severe. The vibration not only affects driving stability but can also cause abnormal wear on the piston and cylinder, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Honda City?

The official combined fuel consumption of the GAC Honda City is 5.4-5.6L/100km. In congested urban road conditions, the fuel consumption can reach 7-8L/100km. Actual fuel consumption is influenced by various factors and should be based on the vehicle's real-world usage. Additional information: Interior: The interior maintains a minimalist style. The dashboard is primarily made of hard plastic with chrome trim accents. The 2600mm wheelbase still delivers a 2900mm-level performance without compromising practicality. The Sport series features a three-dimensional instrument panel. The door panels are wrapped in large areas of fabric, which is a significant improvement over exposed hard plastic and complements the overall sporty style. Features: The City is equipped with a sunroof, rear air vents, a pre-collision ESS emergency braking warning system, HAS hill start assist, and smart sensing airbags. The 2018 City models come standard with fabric seats, and the driver's seat includes manual height adjustment for added comfort.

Can the Touareg 380 use 92 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Touareg 380 should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will also indicate the recommended octane rating. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline. This is because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Touareg 380 occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will change the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance.
