What causes high fuel consumption in a 2005 7th-generation Accord?
1 Answers
7th-generation Accord is a relatively old model. The primary reason for increased fuel consumption is the aging of the engine and transmission due to prolonged usage. Below are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: AC malfunction is a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance leads to increased fan speed and lower temperature settings to achieve cooling effects. 2. Avoid frequent hard braking: Repeated hard braking is the main factor causing persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Don't overuse AC in small-displacement vehicles: For cars exposed to direct sunlight, avoid turning on the AC immediately after entering. First open the windows, set the blower to high speed without AC to dissipate hot air, then turn on the AC after the car has cooled moderately.
