What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of Wuling Zhiguang?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of Wuling Zhiguang are as follows: Insufficient tire pressure: Tires are relatively easy to check, so they should be inspected first. If the tire pressure is insufficient, fuel consumption will increase. If the tire pressure is normal, then check the wear level of the tires. When the tires are severely worn, slipping signs will frequently appear, which will also increase fuel consumption. Engine carbon deposits: If there is a significant buildup of carbon deposits in the engine over a short period, it can also lead to higher car fuel consumption. This situation is likely caused by the use of substandard fuel. Driver's skill level issues: The driver's skill level, improper gear shifting, and excessive braking during driving can artificially increase engine power loss. At the same time, excessive braking will increase the number of starts, as the fuel consumption rate during startup is very high. Driving at low temperatures: the car requires the engine to operate at normal temperatures. If the car is driven without preheating after starting, the engine will be in a low-temperature state, leading to poor atomization of the mixture and incomplete combustion.
I've also experienced the high fuel consumption issue with the Wuling Zhiguang. Last year when I was using my minivan for deliveries, I noticed the fuel usage kept climbing. I guess it was due to using the air conditioning too much, especially during summer when I often had to turn on the cold air to cool down the cargo, which put extra load on the engine. Another reason is overloading - sometimes I carried too many boxes, and when the tire pressure was insufficient, the rolling resistance increased, burning fuel faster. Driving habits matter too - frequent braking and accelerating in traffic jams keeps the engine operating in inefficient ranges, naturally consuming more fuel. I checked the air filter and spark plugs - they were dirty and overdue for replacement, causing poor airflow and reduced efficiency. Regular maintenance is crucial - old engine oil provides poor lubrication and increases fuel consumption. My advice: avoid overloading, maintain steady speeds, replace parts on schedule to save fuel and money. After driving about 5,000 kilometers, the fuel consumption tends to stabilize.
