Does Braking Consume Fuel?

[McBarrett]

During driving, frequent braking is both dangerous and fuel-consuming. Below are more reasons that may lead to increased fuel consumption in cars: 1. Poor driving habits: sudden acceleration, sudden braking, coasting in neutral, and mismatched speed and gear. 2. Carbon buildup and electronic control system failures: carbon deposits on the throttle body, idle valve, and fuel injectors, as well as inaccurate signals from the oxygen sensor, intake pressure sensor, and coolant temperature sensor. 3. Lack of timely vehicle maintenance: failure to replace air filters, fuel filters, spark plugs, and clutch plates on time can also result in higher fuel consumption. 4. Methods to check the causes: inspect whether the tire pressure meets the standard, the degree of tire wear, whether the wheels rotate normally, and the condition of the bearings and braking system.
