What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Haval H2?
2 Answers
Due to its own vehicle weight and drag coefficient, the Haval H2 has relatively high fuel consumption. Here is some relevant information: 1. Regularly check tire pressure and tire wear: Low tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the ground, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. If you notice a significant decrease in the vehicle's coasting distance while driving, you should check whether the tire pressure meets the standard. 2. Clean carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits can roughen the intake pipe walls, affecting the intake efficiency and the quality of the air-fuel mixture, causing a sharp rise in fuel consumption. It is recommended to clean carbon deposits every six months.
After driving my Haval H2 for several years, I found that the high fuel consumption is mainly due to driving habits. For example, frequent rapid acceleration and hard braking can increase fuel consumption by more than 30%, especially in congested urban areas. High-speed driving with quick overtaking increases wind resistance, or frequently using the air conditioning at full blast in summer also pushes up fuel consumption. I also noticed that low tire pressure increases rolling resistance, and checking tire pressure monthly can save a lot of fuel. Additionally, carrying a full load of unnecessary items adds weight, and removing them slightly reduced fuel consumption. After developing habits like smooth driving, anticipating road conditions, and reducing air conditioning usage, my car's fuel consumption dropped from 10L per 100km to 8L, saving thousands in fuel costs annually—a practical benefit for budget-conscious car owners. The key is to start with daily operational improvements rather than rushing into major repairs.
