What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the 2016 Leiling?
2 Answers
The high fuel consumption of the 2016 Leiling can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Car battery and spark plugs. These two are related fault points. If the battery has issues, its power supply capability decreases, leading to reduced ignition performance, which can cause a sudden increase in fuel consumption; if the spark plugs are worn out, not replaced for a long time, or the ignition timing is incorrect, it can also lead to a sudden rise in fuel consumption. 2. Carbon buildup. Every car will have carbon deposits, but excessive carbon buildup can absorb part of the fuel and air, reducing the combustion efficiency inside the engine and increasing fuel consumption. 3. Oxygen sensor. If the fuel consumption rises sharply in a short period, it is highly likely that the oxygen sensor is malfunctioning. Do not replace it blindly; check thoroughly before taking action. 4. Engine oil. When using mismatched engine oil, the internal resistance of the engine increases, leading to higher fuel consumption. 5. Tires. Check whether the tire pressure is sufficient. If it is insufficient, the friction between the tires and the ground increases, requiring the engine to expend more effort to move the car, which will continuously increase fuel consumption.
I feel that the high fuel consumption of my 2016 Leiling is largely due to my driving habits. I usually accelerate hard and brake suddenly, frequently speeding up and slowing down in the city, which forces the engine to inject more fuel to respond. On the highway, speeding or driving with windows open increases wind resistance, burning more fuel. Loading the car with unnecessary items also increases weight, leading to higher fuel consumption. My experience shows that switching to smooth driving, maintaining an economical speed of 60-80 km/h, and slowing down in advance to avoid sudden movements can reduce fuel consumption by about 10%. Additionally, turning off unnecessary electrical devices like headlights or chargers, and regularly checking tire pressure (as low pressure increases friction and fuel consumption) helps. In short, changing driving habits is the simplest and most cost-effective way to save fuel.
