What are some examples of underpowered cars?

Underpowered cars with high fuel consumption include the Mitsubishi EVO, BYD G5, Landwind X7, Buick GL6, and Volkswagen Tiguan. The Mitsubishi Group is a loosely organized entity formed by companies that emerged after the dissolution of the former Mitsubishi zaibatsu in Japan. The name 'Mitsubishi' combines 'mitsu' meaning 'three' and 'bishi' meaning 'water chestnut' (referring to a rhombus shape). Below are some common reasons for high fuel consumption: 1. Poor driving habits: Fuel consumption is closely related to the driver's habits, such as prolonged idling without turning off the engine, frequent ignition, aggressive acceleration or braking, driving at high speeds in low gears or low speeds in high gears. These habits significantly contribute to increased fuel consumption. 2. Improper tire pressure and tire wear: Low tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the road, raising resistance and fuel consumption. Normal tire pressure is around 2.5 bar, which can be slightly reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. However, tire pressure should not be too high either; it's best to follow the vehicle's recommended values. Additionally, severely worn tires can cause frequent slipping, also increasing fuel consumption. 3. Fuel quality and carbon deposits: Many drivers overlook fuel quality. Poor-quality gasoline can lead to increased carbon deposits, which roughen the intake pipe walls, affecting air intake efficiency and mixture quality, causing a sharp rise in fuel consumption. Therefore, gasoline quality should not be neglected. Regular maintenance at authorized service centers is a forward-looking investment, ensuring normal vehicle performance and saving unnecessary expenses in the long run.
