What is the difference in fuel consumption between motorcycles and cars
1 Answers
Motorcycle tire pressure directly affects fuel consumption because tires contact the ground. If the pressure is too low, the contact area increases, leading to greater resistance and consequently higher fuel consumption. Many people believe they can judge whether a motorcycle's tires have sufficient air, but due to the thickness of the tire walls, it's not very obvious visually, which increases tire friction and also raises fuel consumption. Whether a motorcycle is fuel-efficient is also related to riding speed. Some think riding slowly saves fuel, but this is incorrect. Prolonged motorcycle operation causes the engine temperature to rise excessively, resulting in greater power loss and correspondingly increased fuel consumption.
