Automobile fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors, namely driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. The specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn for work. Vehicles with greater self-weight also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires larger driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and thus fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
