There are several reasons for increased fuel consumption: 1. Weak high-voltage spark in the ignition system; 2. Insufficient fuel supply in the fuel system or poor atomization of the fuel injector; 3. Insufficient cylinder pressure in the engine; 4. Poor quality of the fuel used. 5. The vehicle's single-trip distance is too short, the average speed is relatively low, and braking is frequent, especially in urban stop-and-go traffic, making it impossible to reduce fuel consumption. 6. Additionally, the vehicle's load and whether the air conditioning is used can also affect fuel consumption. Overall, winter fuel consumption is about 1-2L higher than in summer under the same conditions, which is within the normal range.

For example, a vehicle with the license plate Jin A is from Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, where 'Jin' represents Shanxi Province and 'A' represents Taiyuan City. License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles, primarily allowing identification of a vehicle's region of origin and enabling the lookup of the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the plate number.

What does tire size 265/65r17 mean?

The tire model 265/65R17 indicates the following specifications: the tread width is 265mm; 65 is the aspect ratio (tire height ÷ tread width) (65 means 65%); R indicates that the tire has a radial structure with steel belts; and 17 means the rim diameter is 17 inches. Here are some considerations when purchasing and using tires: 1. Production date: Always check the production date when buying tires. Avoid purchasing tires with very old production dates. Tires are rubber products and will age even if not used. 2. Regular inspection: During daily use, frequently check the tire pressure and the surface for any damage. The sidewall of the tire is relatively fragile, and if it is scratched or punctured, it cannot be repaired. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if they have driven relatively few miles during that period.
