How to Solve High Fuel Consumption in Wuling Hongguang?
3 Answers
When the engine has carbon deposits and the vehicle operates for a long time, carbon deposits and sludge will inevitably form during gasoline combustion, leading to increased fuel consumption. The function of a car's spark plug is to ignite the air-fuel mixture with a high-voltage electric spark. Faulty spark plugs will result in slower acceleration and higher fuel consumption. Abnormal tire pressure can also affect a car's fuel consumption. Low tire pressure or severe tread wear will lead to increased fuel consumption. When a car carries heavy loads for an extended period, the increased weight raises the driving pressure, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
I've been driving in rural areas for over a decade. When hauling goods with my Wuling Hongguang, I noticed the high fuel consumption was quite annoying, possibly due to low tire pressure increasing rolling resistance. Regularly check tire pressure with a gauge and maintain it around 2.5. A dirty air filter can easily clog up - replacing it only costs a few dozen yuan, and with the engine breathing smoothly, fuel consumption naturally drops. Avoid stomping on the accelerator when driving; gentle starts and gradual braking can save up to 20% fuel. Overloading is a big no-no - don't let the vehicle carry too much weight. In summer, don't set the AC too cold; combine it with opening windows for ventilation. Also check for tire wear or wheel hub deformation. These small changes can save money and improve safety. Make regular visits to small repair shops for maintenance checks.
I've been using the Wuling Hongguang for delivery for almost two years, and the high fuel consumption affects my income. I found that using a mobile app to record each refueling and analyze average fuel consumption helps. Emptying the trunk of unnecessary items reduces weight, and maintaining a speed below 60 km/h is optimal. Regularly changing the engine oil with semi-synthetic type offers good value for money, and detouring during traffic jams avoids frequent stops and starts. Don't neglect tire maintenance—a tire pressure monitor is handy and practical, and replacing old spark plugs also helps. Keep a calm mindset while driving, avoid aggressive acceleration, and try these tips to save a lot on fuel costs, which is also good for the environment.
