How to Solve High Fuel Consumption in Vehicles?
2 Answers
Insufficient tire pressure and tire wear. Insufficient or low tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the ground, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. Therefore, gasoline quality cannot be overlooked, and it is essential to clean carbon deposits every six months.
As an experienced driver with years behind the wheel, I've dealt with high fuel consumption quite a bit. The key is to develop good habits: don't accelerate too aggressively at start-up, press the gas pedal gently to speed up, maintain a steady speed, and don't exceed 80 km/h to keep the engine running efficiently. Remember to check tire pressure—low pressure increases rolling resistance and wastes fuel unnecessarily. Minimize idling time; if you're waiting at a red light for long, turn off the engine. Don't set the air conditioning too cold—adjusting the temperature reasonably can save fuel. I also make sure to plan routes to avoid traffic jams, preventing unnecessary idling fuel consumption. Clean out the trunk once a month to reduce vehicle weight. With these daily adjustments, I've reduced my fuel consumption by 15%, saving a lot of money and being more environmentally friendly.
