What are the reasons for the increased fuel consumption of the Leopaard Feiteng?

The reasons for the increased fuel consumption of the Leopaard Feiteng are as follows: 1. Tire pressure: If the vehicle's coasting distance is significantly shortened during driving, check whether the tire pressure meets the standard. Insufficient tire inflation will also increase fuel consumption. 2. Tire wear: Check the degree of tire wear. Severe tire wear will frequently cause slipping, increasing fuel consumption. 3. Bearings and braking system: If abnormal noises are heard from the wheels during driving or starting, promptly check the bearings and braking system for faults. Abnormal wheel rotation will affect speed and increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Leopaard Feitu for a while and have experienced sudden increases in fuel consumption several times, mostly due to my own driving habits. For example, frequent rapid acceleration and hard braking, or driving at high RPMs on highways naturally consumes more fuel. Prolonged idling in city traffic also wastes fuel unnecessarily. Over time, a clogged air filter restricts airflow to the engine, leading to incomplete fuel combustion and increasing fuel consumption by at least 10%. Low tire pressure is another pitfall—I always make sure to check and maintain it around 2.4bar, as a drop of 0.5bar can increase fuel consumption by 5%. Excessive engine carbon buildup also makes gear shifts less smooth, so regular cleaning is essential. Poor-quality fuel with many impurities can clog the fuel system, so I recommend sticking to reputable gas stations. In short, neglecting these small details can cause fuel consumption to spike, but timely self-checks and maintenance can save a lot of money.
