Reasons for High Fuel Consumption in Vans

[LeWyatt]

There are various reasons why vans consume a lot of fuel. Below is a detailed explanation: Vehicle-related reasons: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine: The main cause of excessive carbon deposits in the engine in the short term is the use of unsuitable fuel. This situation is more likely to occur after long-distance driving or lending the vehicle to others. During long-distance trips, drivers inevitably refuel with different local fuels. Even for the same fuel grade, the quality varies across regions, increasing the risk of using unsuitable fuel. Lending the vehicle to others makes it even harder to control fuel quality. Long overdue replacement of the "three filters": During vehicle use, the three filters (oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter) must be replaced regularly. If not replaced for a long time, they become dirty and clogged, affecting performance and sending incorrect signals to the engine control unit. This leads to incomplete fuel combustion and increased carbon deposits in the engine. External factors: Poor driving habits: Personal driving habits significantly impact fuel consumption. Bad habits such as rapid acceleration and hard braking can increase fuel usage. The optimal driving speed should be maintained between 60-80 km/h. Additionally, observing road conditions in advance and using the throttle to control speed can help. Road conditions: Choosing the right route is crucial for fuel efficiency. Sometimes, a longer distance with better road conditions may be more fuel-efficient than a shorter but congested route. Therefore, selecting less congested and shorter routes can save more fuel.
