How to Solve High Fuel Consumption in Wuling Zhiguang?
2 Answers
Wuling Zhiguang has high fuel consumption, generally it is necessary to check whether the spark plug gap is too large, whether the oxygen sensor has problems, whether the fuel injector is normal, etc. It is recommended to go to a professional auto repair shop for an inspection. Identify where the problem lies, and then solve it according to the specific issue. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Correctly adjust tire inflation pressure: Tire pressure that meets the requirements can reduce wheel rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption. In addition, when the tire pressure is slightly higher than the specified value by +0.2bar, it can also save fuel. 2. Use the correct gear: Match the gear to the speed, do not drive at high speed with low gear or at low speed with high gear. Shift gears in advance, the speed corresponding to the gear should be appropriate, and do not drive at high speed with low gear or at low speed with high gear.
I've been driving my Wuling Sunshine for almost ten years. When the fuel consumption suddenly increases, the first thing I check is the tire pressure. Insufficient pressure can make the car consume more fuel. I use the onboard pressure gauge to maintain it between 2.2-2.5 bar. Then, I check the air filter. If it's dirty, I replace it myself with a new one bought online for just a few dozen yuan, ensuring smooth air intake. In terms of driving habits, I avoid sudden acceleration and braking. I'm used to starting smoothly, maintaining a speed between 60-80 km/h for the most fuel efficiency. I also change the engine oil and filter regularly. If the spark plugs are worn out, I replace them with new ones, usually checking every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. Carbon buildup is also not to be overlooked. Before long trips, I add a bottle of fuel additive to clean it out. These simple practices have reduced my Wuling's fuel consumption to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, saving me a lot on fuel costs. Remember, daily maintenance is crucial.
