What are the reasons for the sudden increase in fuel consumption of the Edge?

[LaEmily]

There are several main reasons: 1. Turning on the heater too early: The owner immediately turns on the heater when starting the car or while the engine is still warming up. Since the engine is not yet hot, it blows cold air, which not only wastes electricity but also increases engine load, thereby consuming more fuel. 2. Idling to warm up the car: Idling to warm up the car also consumes fuel. Generally, warming up the car is a habit, but idling to warm it up increases fuel consumption. The correct method is to warm up the car for a few minutes, wait for the RPM to stabilize, and then shift into gear to drive, but avoid heavy loads. 3. Thin cylinder walls: Many drivers of large-displacement cars have engines with relatively thin cylinder walls, making it easy for heat to dissipate outward from the cylinders. To raise and maintain temperature, more fuel is consumed. 4. Fuel conversion: When the engine starts, fuel is converted into electricity to charge the battery, so relatively speaking, this is also a factor in increased fuel consumption.
