How did you achieve a fuel consumption of 6.x liters? I'm driving a 2008 model purely in the city, and after 2,000 kilometers, my average is 8.8. I've been driving very gently.

When the engine is idling, the RPM is stable at around 800. However, when you press the clutch and shift gears, the RPM increases to 1200 (without releasing the clutch, just purely shifting gears). What could be the reason for this? (The transmission, clutch, and flywheel have been checked and there are no abnormalities.) Car model: Manual rear-wheel drive Mazda 6-speed manual RX-8 Type S.

I recently got an 08 Mazda 2 hatchback, 1.3L automatic. It has been driven 130,000 km over 15 years. I've been driving it for about 10 days, mostly commuting in the city with a round trip of 40 km a day, but the fuel consumption is ridiculously high... After the fuel warning light first came on, I added fuel worth 200 yuan, which was 25.6 liters, and drove a total of 247 km. The average fuel consumption was 10.35 liters/km, costing 0.8 yuan/km. After the fuel warning light, the engine light turned yellow as well, what's going on??? I didn't think too much and just drove to the gas station, asked the staff to fill it up, but it could only take 34 liters before the pump stopped. The staff said it was full. Isn't the Mazda 2's fuel tank capacity supposed to be 43 liters? Why is it full so much earlier, is there something wrong? Looking for help, how should I deal with this? Has anyone experienced the same situation?

Model X owners, what cars are you upgrading to or purchasing? I currently have a 2017 Model X 100D 5-seater, which is over 4 years old. Recently, when going out with my daughter, I often have to let her mom drive so I can sit in the back with her. The rear seats are really uncomfortable, and my daughter tends to get carsick easily. I'm thinking about getting another car, considering 6-7 seat SUVs or MPVs, but haven't decided yet. What have you all bought?

I'd like to ask fellow car enthusiasts about the fuel consumption display of the Scirocco when cruising at a steady 120 km/h on the highway during the Spring Festival. Please specify your model, like 1.4T single turbo 7-speed showing xxx fuel consumption at 120. I'm just looking for a reference because I'm considering buying a fuel-efficient car with cruise control for highway driving. I think the Scirocco 1.4 single turbo is pretty good, but I've heard that the 2.0T 6-speed is also very fuel-efficient.

I bought a 2007 1.6 automatic luxury model for 16,000 in 2022. It was noisy and not easy to drive, so I ended up spending 12,000 on it gradually. I replaced the shock absorbers, engine mounts, stabilizer bar, light bulbs, bearings, and cleaned the engine—pretty much everything that needed fixing. It's much better to drive now and feels like it can last a few more years. I have to say, the parts are really cheap. The city fuel consumption averages 8.8, and I drive pretty aggressively.

Based on your information, spending nearly 1,000 yuan on fuel for about 1,600 kilometers, with a fuel consumption of 6 to 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers, seems quite reasonable for a 2012 automatic Suzuki Swift. This fuel economy is typical for this model and year, especially considering it's an automatic transmission. If you're mostly driving in urban areas with traffic, this consumption is quite normal.

Hello everyone in the Leapmotor community, I have a question. Can you unplug the charging gun during slow charging at home? This morning at 6 o'clock, while I was sleeping and the car was charging, my father needed to use the car. He directly unlocked and unplugged the gun to drive away. This raises my doubts: Can the Leapmotor C11 pure electric model be directly unplugged during slow charging? First, does this operation pose any threat to personal safety? Second, will this affect vehicle safety? Third, will it impact the battery? If it's an incorrect operation, how should one correctly stop using the car during charging?

After 8 years with my old petrol car, it started burning oil, and I noticed a lot of people around me were switching to electric vehicles. That got me thinking. I was originally planning to get the top-spec Tank 300 (Menglong), and during the National Day holiday I went for a test drive — it met my expectations.On the way back, I stopped by a Jetour dealership and saw the T2. My daughter instantly fell in love with the exterior and interior — it completely overshadowed the Menglong in her eyes. Looks clearly played a big role, and after a test drive, it felt good enough. Since I don’t really need 4WD for daily driving, I booked it right away. Looking back now, I do wish I had waited for the 4WD version — a bit more power would’ve been nice.For this type of vehicle, electric power saves a lot. For daily use, my cost is just around 0.10 AED/km (charging at home on off-peak rates of 3.3 AED/kWh). My daily round-trip to work is under 20 km, so I only charge every four days, when the battery hits around 20%.For long-distance trips, I don’t bother with charging — it’s too much hassle. I just set the car to preserve 60% battery and drive on petrol. Even if fuel consumption is slightly higher, it’s fine since I only do a few road trips per year.The car is heavy and feels solid on the road. Acceleration is decent, but the 4WD version definitely would’ve offered better power and confidence. I’ve had the car for over half a year now. So far, the only issue has been a slight noise from the steering system — which was fixed. Other than that, no major problems. Buying a car always involves a bit of luck anyway.The biggest downside is the driver assistance system — it lags behind the competition. The infotainment system has improved a bit with the latest 4.11 update, but it still has room for improvement.Overall, I’m quite satisfied. Compared to many newer EV startups, Chery is an established brand. The lifetime warranty adds a lot of peace of mind, especially on the powertrain and electric components.
