What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the 2015 Changan Eado?

Here are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Changan Eado: Tire wear: Tire wear reduces braking performance, steering accuracy, and traction. Low tire pressure increases driving resistance, wasting fuel and accelerating tire wear. Dirty filters: If the air filter and its filter element are too dirty, it will obstruct the engine's air intake, leading to an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio and incomplete combustion. Excessive carbon deposits: Low-quality gasoline can increase carbon deposits. Excessive carbon deposits make the intake pipe walls rough, affecting air intake efficiency and the quality of the air-fuel mixture, causing a sharp rise in fuel consumption. Therefore, gasoline quality should not be overlooked, and cleaning carbon deposits every six months is essential.
I've been driving a 2015 Changan Eado for several years and found that high fuel consumption is often related to driving habits. I used to frequently stomp on the accelerator and brake, with frequent starts in city traffic jams, causing fuel consumption to skyrocket. Running the AC too aggressively, especially when idling while waiting with the AC on, wastes even more fuel. Sudden acceleration makes engine RPM unstable and leads to incomplete combustion. Later I learned better: gentle starts, coasting more and braking less, using cruise control on highways to maintain steady speed - my fuel consumption dropped from 9L to just over 6L. Regular tire pressure checks help too, as underinflated tires increase rolling resistance. Reducing short trips and planning routes to avoid congestion - these small habit changes show quick results.
