There may be several reasons why a car is consuming more and more fuel: 1. Poor driving habits: Bad driving habits such as squeezing into gaps, sudden stops and starts, and driving at high speeds in low gears can all lead to high fuel consumption. To save fuel, try to maintain a steady speed and rely on inertia for braking. 2. Engine carbon buildup: Carbon buildup in the engine can also cause high fuel consumption. Consider purchasing car cleaning products to remove the carbon deposits from the engine, which can help reduce fuel consumption. 3. Low tire pressure: Low tire pressure or insufficient tire inflation can also cause the car to consume more fuel. Before driving, check the tire inflation. There are instruments available to measure tire pressure. Timely inflation of the tires can help reduce fuel consumption. 4. Overloaded trunk: Carrying too many items in the trunk can also increase fuel consumption. Regularly clean out the trunk and remove unnecessary items to lighten the load on your car, which will naturally reduce fuel consumption.
