Is It Normal to Drive 600 km with 50 Liters of Fuel?

[VonCarson]

50 liters of gasoline for 600 kilometers translates to 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. This is normal for engines with a displacement above 1.8L, but if the displacement is below 1.8L, the fuel consumption is considered high. Solutions for high fuel consumption: 1. Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon buildup in the engine is a major cause, often due to using unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not noticeable, it indicates significant carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional cleaning of the engine's carbon deposits by technicians. 2. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor monitors the fuel-air ratio in the engine. If it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gases during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced.
