Does the Throttle Affect Fuel Consumption?

[IsabellaRose]

High fuel consumption in cars is not related to the throttle. The factors that affect a car's fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Transmission: The transmission is a power-speed adjustment device connected between the engine output and the wheel drive shaft. Its basic functions are: changing the corresponding "power-speed" combination according to the car's driving needs, altering the speed direction (reverse gear), and disconnecting the engine from the drive shaft (idle). 2. Vehicle Weight: The heavier the vehicle, the more power is required, naturally leading to higher fuel consumption. 3. Design Factors: This mainly refers to the drag coefficient. Vehicle design is not just about aesthetics but also considers the drag coefficient. The more streamlined and smoother the car design, and the smaller the body attachments, the more effectively the drag can be reduced. The lower the drag coefficient, the lower the vehicle's drag, the better the stability, and the more fuel-efficient it is. Generally, a 10% reduction in drag coefficient can lower fuel consumption by 3%. 4. Tires: Tires have a direct impact on a car's fuel consumption. The wider the tread and the larger the tread pattern, the greater the friction generated, leading to increased fuel consumption.
