The eighth generation Accord wastes gas?

Now on this forum, some people say that 8Ya saves fuel, and some people say that 8YA wastes oil. I am lucky enough to be the owner of 8YA. Looking at the mixed discussions, I will take it today. My own fuel-efficient 8 Ya came out to talk about things (I definitely have one thing to say). Let me tell you some real data first: I went to Panyu, Guangzhou yesterday afternoon, and the round trip was 170 kilometers, including 40 kilometers of provincial roads with good road conditions, and 130 kilometers of busy Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway and Humen Bridge, with speeds between 80 and 110. Cruise control is not used. The journey on the way off the highway was 66 kilometers, with a fuel consumption of 7.6, and the journey to the destination was 85 kilometers, with a fuel consumption of 8.2. After returning to Shenzhen, it showed that the final comprehensive fuel consumption was 7.9, which is not a lot of fuel consumption. You see, fuel consumption is actually quite difficult to say sometimes! In fact, I think that for the same car, different drivers will definitely get different results. For example, since I drove the old Jetta King at home, the fuel consumption only reached 10.5 liters when I drove to and from get off work every day at a speed of almost 20 kilometers per hour during the road construction there one winter. /100 kilometers. Under other circumstances, fuel consumption is around 9/100 kilometers. As for my brother's old carburetor Jetta, when I drove it, the fuel consumption was less than 8 liters/100 kilometers. And since I bought the new Accord 2.4 at the end of last year, my wife started driving that Jetta, and the fuel consumption has changed horribly. The highest one reached 13.3 liters/100 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, it is more than 10 liters/100 kilometers. The fuel consumption of the 1.6 manual car exceeds that of my 2.4 automatic car. There is no comparison between Laojie and 8 Ya in terms of fuel consumption. After all, 8 Ya is equipped with Honda's proud i-VTEC system, which intelligently and accurately controls valve opening based on engine speed and load. Timing, I still think the balance between power output and fuel consumption is good, and the bottom of the body is designed to be relatively flat, which can indeed reduce air resistance and save energy and consumption. But I still heard from Lao Zhang downstairs (also the owner of the 8 Ya car) that the 8 Ya car costs less oil. I think this has something to do with his driving route and driving style, as well as the maintenance of the vehicle. I have been driving the 8YA for a while now, and I have my own set of fuel-saving secrets. I summarized it, *** share it, it’s funny~~ 1. Generally speaking, the gear set in the first gear at the start is relatively large, so it is very It will soon enter 2nd gear, but the driving process after 2nd gear is more knowledgeable, because as long as you step on the accelerator slightly, 8Ya's driving computer will default that you need more power, and then it will delay The timing of shifting gears is to slow down the gas at the start, increase the speed slowly, and wait for 20 kilometers before changing gears before a little more gas and go faster. 2. High speed when driving in the city does not mean fast speed: the speed of driving in the city is usually between 30 and 90. No matter how fast or slow, the most fuel-saving trick is to reduce the speed to 1500 rpm as soon as possible. When the speed exceeds 2000, it is mostly the shifting speed of 8 Ya. Either you don't let it shift gears and slightly loosen the accelerator to obtain the current speed, or you can use a little gas to allow 8 Ya to shift gears in time and maintain the speed of 1500 after achieving a higher speed. Avoid half-high speed but not low speed. 3. In addition, although the 8 Ya is an automatic transmission, which saves the trouble of frequent gear changes, the several gears next to the gear lever still have functions. For example, when waiting for a red light for a long time, I usually shift the gear to the N position; when walking on a mountain road with many turns and steep slopes, I should choose the high gear, because this can avoid the gearbox from changing gears frequently, which not only saves fuel, but also Protected the gearbox. 4. When driving, try not to open the windows unless necessary. Especially when driving at a speed of more than 50 yards, turning on the air conditioner is more fuel-efficient than opening the windows. When driving at low speeds, if you want to open the windows, try not to fully open the windows. Open the windows 1 /3 is enough, and either the windows must be opened or not, all four windows must be opened to reduce resistance. Therefore, air conditioning does not consume too much fuel, so don’t skimp on this comfort indicator. But the air conditioner should not be turned on and off with very short intervals. 5. Be willing to give the gas when going up a steep slope. Don't think that not giving the gas means saving fuel when going downhill: accelerate before going up a long slope, release the accelerator slowly during the uphill process, and go faster when you feel 8 Ya strenuous when you reach the middle of the slope. Release the accelerator, let the 8 Ya automatically shift gears in time, and then follow up in time to refuel and move forward.

When going downhill (except for steep slopes that require brake assistance), apply light oil. It feels like the engine is pulling the car downhill. Do not refuel. When you feel that the car is rushing down and the speed is decreasing, 8ya is It's uncomfortable. You must know that the car is pushed by the piston. When going downhill without refueling, the inertia is forced to pull the car and push the piston. It will cause serious damage to the car and it is impossible to save fuel. 6. Learn to use the throttle and speed to shift gears: when the speed changes from fast to slow, releasing the accelerator will generally default to a downshift. When the rpm (around 2000) and speed are both rising, releasing the accelerator will generally result in an upshift. , if you master this when driving in the city, you can save a lot of fuel. 7. Avoid refueling hard except when overtaking or when you urgently need to gain higher speed. 8. Learn to drive predictably and adjust to the appropriate speed, especially on roads with many traffic lights in the city. Do not apply the gas first to achieve a high speed and then apply the brakes three to five seconds later. Every time you apply the brakes, it means that you will The energy consumed when refueling just now cannot be converted into kinetic energy, but will be dissipated in the form of brake heat. Firstly, the passengers will feel uncomfortable, and secondly, it will still waste fuel. 9. Cruise control can provide more comfort when driving, but it is by no means the most fuel-efficient way. 10. Don’t treat your 8YA as a safe. Even if its trunk is quite large, don’t accumulate too many unnecessary things. It’s best not to put useless things in the car. Empty your trunk and the weight of the car will increase by 10 kilograms. Fuel consumption should be increased by 1%. I read a book before and it seemed a bit much. . . . But anyway, too much burden will reduce the car's acceleration ability, which will consume energy and fuel. 11. Maintenance is very important. Maintain the engine regularly and repair it immediately if there is any problem. Otherwise, the engine efficiency will be reduced and the fuel consumption of your car will be increased. Check your tire pressure regularly and perform four-wheel alignment regularly, otherwise excessive friction will still affect fuel consumption. In fact, taking a step back, even if the driving skills are the same, the fuel consumption may be different. The fuel consumption is affected by the assembly and welding technology of some models when they leave the factory. Just like my old Jetta, my friend also has the same one, and they all drive. I'm an expert, but there is always a big difference in fuel consumption, which is largely related to the imbalance of assembly and welding of each vehicle. Of course, Guangben is still worthy of praise. I have driven Lao Zhang downstairs' 8 Ya (Lao Zhang downstairs will soon be trained by me to become a fuel-saving master of 8 Ya ^_^). Every car is very good in assembly and welding. On average, there will be no difference in fuel consumption between the same model and the same technology. Basically, that’s it. The fuel consumption of 8 Ya is still satisfactory. Sometimes, if the fuel consumption is too much, it really depends on the technique. If you have any advanced secrets, please feel free to exchange and discuss them together~
