400-horsepower engine consumes approximately two to three liters of gasoline when idling for one hour. Here is a brief introduction about gasoline: 1. Basic information: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through distillation and cracking, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. 2. Composition: The main components are C5~C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into different grades such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98 based on octane ratings. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95.

After cleaning, the fuel injector's spray diameter increases, leading to more fuel being injected per unit time, which results in higher fuel consumption. Due to the lack of proper calibration after cleaning the throttle body, the ECU's detection program continues to calculate and adjust the fuel injection quantity based on the original throttle body settings.
