What are the reasons for the increasing fuel consumption of the Leiling Hybrid?

The reasons for the increasing fuel consumption of the Leiling Hybrid are as follows: 1. Dirty throttle: The throttle needs to be cleaned regularly, usually every 20,000 kilometers or so, because modern vehicles use electronic throttles. After cleaning the throttle, an idle learning must be performed; otherwise, the idle speed will increase. 2. Excessive carbon deposits: Too much carbon buildup in the intake tract and cylinders can also lead to increased fuel consumption, so it is necessary to clean the carbon deposits in the cylinders and intake tract regularly, typically once every 3 years or 60,000 kilometers. 3. Aging spark plugs: Aging spark plugs can also cause increased fuel consumption, so spark plugs need to be replaced periodically.
My Leiling Hybrid's fuel consumption has recently increased significantly, likely due to the aging of the hybrid battery pack reducing the efficiency of electric assistance, causing more reliance on the gasoline engine. After several years of use, components like spark plugs or air filters not being replaced in time can lead to incomplete combustion or insufficient air intake, which also increases fuel consumption. I've also noticed that the tire pressure is low, increasing rolling resistance and naturally raising fuel consumption. Regular maintenance is crucial, such as inspecting or replacing these parts every 50,000 kilometers. If the battery health is low, a professional reset or replacement might be necessary. Weather changes also have an impact; using the air conditioning more in summer increases consumption, but maintaining smooth driving habits can help mitigate the issue.
