What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of Wuling Rongguang?
2 Answers
Fluctuations in fuel consumption due to temperature changes are normal. Below is relevant information about the Wuling Rongguang: Body dimensions: The Wuling Rongguang is a microvan under the Wuling brand. The vehicle measures 4135 mm in length, 1625 mm in width, and 1870 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. Powertrain configuration: The Wuling Rongguang is equipped with two engines: a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 56 kW at 5600 rpm, with a maximum torque of 112 Nm between 3600 and 4200 rpm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine produces a maximum power of 73 kW at 5400 rpm, with a maximum torque of 135 Nm between 3800 and 5000 rpm. This engine also features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block.
I've been driving the Wuling Rongguang for deliveries for almost two years, and recently the fuel consumption has skyrocketed noticeably. There are several common reasons, such as a dirty and clogged air filter, which prevents the engine from getting enough air, leading to uneven fuel mixture and higher burning. Worn-out spark plugs can also cause trouble, as untimely ignition results in incomplete fuel combustion. Plus, I often overload the vehicle with cargo, putting extra strain on the engine, and the high-speed wind resistance adds to the problem. Stop-and-go traffic in the city, along with sudden acceleration and braking, wastes a lot of fuel. I recommend regularly cleaning the air filter, checking the spark plugs, and driving more steadily without rushing. Testing fuel consumption when unloaded can help determine if the issue is due to overloading. If this continues, repair costs will rise, so it's best to get it checked by a professional shop soon!
