How to Solve High Fuel Consumption in Sedans?
2 Answers
When a car starts at low speed, it is in the peak fuel consumption zone. Therefore, gently pressing the accelerator during startup to prevent excessively high RPM can effectively reduce fuel consumption. Avoid unnecessary high RPM as much as possible, as fluctuating engine speeds can also significantly increase fuel consumption. Change the engine oil and remove carbon deposits. Anticipating road conditions in advance not only improves driving safety but also saves fuel, such as gradually slowing down before traffic lights and utilizing inertia to coast.
I've driven quite a few cars in my life. If a sedan's fuel consumption is high, it's mostly due to poor daily maintenance. First, check if the tire pressure is correct—insufficient pressure increases rolling resistance and consumes more fuel. Also, replace the air filter regularly; if it's dirty, airflow is restricted, and fuel doesn't burn completely. Engine oil viscosity being too high isn't good either—using thinner oil in winter saves fuel. Driving habits matter too—avoid sudden braking and rapid acceleration, especially in city traffic—ease off the throttle. Cruise control on the highway is quite useful. Get regular check-ups and replace aging spark plugs. With these small adjustments, you'll save fuel and hassle, with safety as the top priority.
