What are the solutions for high fuel consumption in the sixth-generation Camry?

Solutions for high fuel consumption in the sixth-generation Camry: 1. Clean the engine: Carbon buildup in the engine is a major cause, often due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of fuel cleaner when refueling. 2. Drive on the highway for a while: This helps increase exhaust flow, allowing stronger airflow to remove larger carbon particles. 3. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit in the car, the oxygen sensor monitors the air-fuel ratio in the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the air-fuel ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption.
When I first drove my sixth-gen Camry, I also experienced a sudden increase in fuel consumption, but the solution was actually quite simple. First, check the tire pressure—if it's too low, it increases rolling resistance. Measure it monthly to ensure it's at the manufacturer's recommended value. If the tires are fine, inspect the air filter for clogs; replacing it with an inexpensive one will do the trick. I remember that time my car had high fuel consumption was due to worn-out spark plugs—replacing them immediately improved fuel efficiency. Develop the habit of gently pressing the accelerator and avoiding sudden braking. On highways, close the windows to reduce wind resistance. Also, change the oil regularly, using full synthetic to reduce engine strain. In short, these small adjustments can make a noticeable difference. Otherwise, high fuel consumption not only burns money but can also damage the car.
