What are the manifestations of increased fuel consumption?
1 Answers
Increased fuel consumption manifests as follows: Potholes on the road: Poor road conditions or uneven surfaces force the vehicle to drive in low gear for extended periods, inevitably increasing fuel consumption. Incorrect driving: Improper driving habits have the most significant impact on fuel consumption. Behaviors such as slamming on the brakes, erratic speed fluctuations, prolonged engine idling, aggressive acceleration, and long-distance driving at high speeds in low gear all contribute to increased fuel consumption. Prolonged idling: Compared to normal driving, the engine ECU controls a higher fuel injection rate when the car is idling or just started. If the engine is not turned off or frequently left running for extended periods, fuel consumption will increase.
