Is 14 liters per 100 kilometers a high fuel consumption?
1 Answers
Normally, a fuel consumption of 14 liters per 100 kilometers is considered very high, and it is recommended that the owner check the vehicle. The reasons for high fuel consumption in cars are as follows: Reason 1: Poor ignition, excessive spark plug gap, or insufficient ignition coil energy. Reason 2: Poor atomization of the fuel injector, malfunction of the fuel pressure regulator, or excessively high fuel pressure. Reason 3: Excessive carbon buildup in the engine, where some of the injected gasoline is absorbed by the carbon deposits. Reason 4: Sensor failure, such as a faulty coolant temperature sensor, which can cause the engine to mistakenly believe it is still in a cold state, continuously sending fuel injection signals, leading to high fuel consumption. Reason 5: Oxygen sensor failure, which can cause fuel trim to fail, and the computer may continuously send fuel injection signals. A faulty air flow meter can result in incorrect intake data.
