Is Lexus Fuel-Efficient?
1 Answers
Lexus models vary in fuel consumption, and whether they are fuel-efficient depends on the specific model. Below are detailed factors affecting fuel consumption: 1. Low Tire Pressure or Severe Tread Wear: Increased contact area between tires and the road surface leads to greater friction and rolling resistance, naturally resulting in higher fuel consumption. While higher tire pressure may slightly improve fuel efficiency, it compromises ride comfort and increases the risk of tire blowouts. 2. Heavy Load: Frequent transportation of heavy loads will increase fuel consumption. Similarly, poor road conditions with frequent stops and starts also elevate fuel usage. 3. Driving Habits: Driving style is another hidden factor. Smooth acceleration and linear driving are more fuel-efficient, whereas aggressive behaviors like rapid acceleration, frequent braking, repeated engine starts, and unnecessary revving waste fuel. Since a car's mechanical performance cannot respond instantly, such habits lead to higher consumption. Higher-quality gasoline ensures more complete combustion, lowering fuel consumption, while impure gasoline with more impurities increases it.
