What are the reasons for the Sorento's high fuel consumption?
1 Answers
Abnormal fuel consumption can be caused by aging spark plugs, carbon buildup in the throttle, or insufficient tire pressure. 1. Reasons: In most cases, it is due to the owner overfilling the fuel tank, causing excess gasoline that is not burned in the form of vapor. Normally, each vehicle is equipped with an activated charcoal canister on the right side of the engine compartment, which is specifically designed to absorb fuel vapors. When starting the engine, the activated charcoal canister absorbs some of the fuel vapors, but excess gasoline cannot evaporate through the activated charcoal canister and may flow out through the air pipe. 2. Reducing fuel consumption: Apart from road conditions, driving habits also play a role in reducing fuel consumption. Avoid prolonged idling to warm up the car, avoid sudden acceleration, avoid unnecessary lane changes and overtaking, make good driving judgments, and avoid sudden braking.
