What are the three major factors affecting fuel consumption?
1 Answers
There are three major factors affecting fuel consumption: 1. Engine: This is the inherent factor affecting fuel consumption. From the oldest carburetors to today's direct injection systems, various brands are striving to improve engine fuel efficiency. From a purely technical perspective, direct injection is an excellent technology that significantly improves fuel combustion efficiency, but it imposes higher requirements on the engine's fuel supply system and cylinder materials. 2. Transmission: Here, the transmission refers to automatic transmissions. The engine and transmission form the simplest power output system, so the structure of the transmission also directly affects fuel consumption. 3. Driving habits: This is an acquired factor affecting fuel consumption and also the most significant one. The same car has different fuel consumption under different road conditions. Whether the air conditioning is used or even when it is turned on can affect fuel consumption.
