What are the reasons for the sudden increase in fuel consumption of the Audi Q5L?
1 Answers
Audi Q5L's sudden increase in fuel consumption can be attributed to the following reasons: Tire width: Generally, the tires that come with a vehicle from the factory are reasonably selected based on factors such as the vehicle's weight and displacement. Wider tires have a larger contact area with the ground, leading to greater friction resistance and naturally higher fuel consumption. Tire tread pattern: Every tire brand has its own tread pattern series, designed with multiple considerations in mind, among which fuel efficiency is one of the most important. Tread patterns can be broadly categorized into three types: off-road, sport, and comfort/quiet. Off-road tires have larger tread patterns, suitable for driving on rough terrains like gravel, resulting in the highest fuel consumption. Sport tires generally emphasize grip, with wider tread surfaces for better control, leading to moderate fuel consumption. Comfort/quiet tires have finer and smoother tread patterns, thus offering the lowest fuel consumption. Spark plugs: The ignition strength of spark plugs plays a crucial role in the complete combustion of gasoline. If spark plugs have been used for a long time, their ignition energy decreases, causing incomplete combustion in the vehicle and an increase in fuel consumption. Therefore, general spark plugs need to be replaced after 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers of use.
