What are the reasons for the sudden increase in fuel consumption of the Tayron?
1 Answers
The increase in fuel consumption of the Tayron may be due to the following reasons: 1. Insufficient tire pressure and tire wear. Low or insufficient tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the ground, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. Severe tire wear often causes slipping, which also increases fuel consumption. 2. Pay attention to fuel quality and regularly clean carbon deposits. Poor-quality gasoline can lead to more carbon deposits, which roughen the intake pipe walls, affecting the intake effect and the quality of the air-fuel mixture, causing a sharp rise in fuel consumption. Therefore, fuel quality should not be overlooked, and it is essential to clean carbon deposits every six months. 3. Regularly check the oxygen sensor. This is a ceramic component located on the engine exhaust pipe, used to detect and control the ratio of oxygen to fuel. After prolonged use, the computer of the electronic fuel injection system cannot obtain information about the oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe, often resulting in a higher concentration of the air-fuel mixture in the engine and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the condition of the oxygen sensor, which typically needs replacement at 80,000-110,000 kilometers. 4. Driving habits. Everyone's driving habits vary, and poor driving habits can also lead to higher fuel consumption. 5. Driving conditions. Congested driving conditions can also cause higher fuel consumption because the engine works harder when the vehicle moves from a standstill, increasing fuel injection. Additionally, short-distance driving can result in higher fuel consumption because the engine and vehicle just reach their optimal operating temperature before shutting down. 6. Regularly replace spark plugs. The role of spark plugs is to generate an electric spark with high voltage to ignite the air-fuel mixture. If damaged, the ignition energy decreases, causing uneven combustion of the mixture, slowing down acceleration, and increasing fuel consumption. The lifespan of ordinary spark plugs is only 30,000-50,000 kilometers, while platinum spark plugs last about 50,000-80,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs can last up to 100,000 kilometers. 7. Vehicle weight. Carrying excessively heavy items in the vehicle can increase fuel consumption by about 2% compared to normal driving. While this may seem insignificant, it adds up over time. Therefore, modern vehicles are designed with high-strength, lightweight bodies to also consider fuel efficiency.
