The main reasons for high fuel consumption in a car are: 1. Poor driving habits of the driver; 2. Wear and tear of engine-related components; 3. Faulty oxygen sensor; 4. Low tire pressure or severe tire wear; 5. Incorrect fuel grade, clogged fuel lines, or improperly gapped spark plugs. Precautions for refueling include: 1. Use automotive gasoline; inappropriate fuel entering the fuel system may damage the fuel system and engine; 2. Do not use gasoline containing methanol or alcohol; 3. Avoid spilling fuel on the paint surface to prevent damage; 4. If the fuel door is frozen and cannot be opened, gently push or tap the fuel door to remove ice and open it; 5. Prevent excessive fuel pressure from causing spraying; 6. Insert the fuel nozzle deep into the fuel tank to avoid overflow or spillage, which could lead to fire and explosion.
