Is Rapid Decrease in Range Due to Fuel Quality?
1 Answers
Not entirely due to fuel quality; it is also related to road conditions and driving habits. The driving range mainly depends on fuel consumption. Methods to reduce fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Adjust tire pressure: Higher tire pressure saves effort, while lower tire pressure requires more effort. Insufficient tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the ground, raising the vehicle's driving resistance and consequently increasing fuel consumption. At this point, adjusting the tire pressure can help reduce fuel consumption. 2. Reduce vehicle load: The weight of the car directly affects fuel consumption. Additionally, heavy items in the car increase engine power consumption. The more heavy items and the longer the driving time, the higher the fuel consumption. Regularly clearing out unnecessary items from the car to reduce load can also lower fuel consumption. 3. Adjust driving habits: Rapid acceleration and sudden braking in urban and highway driving can increase fuel consumption by 5% to 30%. Besides rapid acceleration and deceleration, prolonged idling also increases fuel consumption and can cause significant harm to the car's engine.
