What is the reason for the inexplicably high fuel consumption of the MG 6?

The reason for the inexplicably high fuel consumption of the MG 6 is that the actual comprehensive fuel consumption is related to multiple factors such as load, road conditions, driving habits, weather, wind speed, tire pressure, etc. The actual comprehensive fuel consumption should be based on the actual driving conditions. Factors affecting fuel consumption: There is a certain relationship between displacement and fuel consumption, but a higher fuel consumption does not necessarily mean a larger displacement. Relatively speaking, the size of a car's displacement does not directly correlate with its fuel consumption. In addition to displacement, factors such as the car's shape, weight, and engine technology are also important factors affecting fuel consumption. Solutions for high fuel consumption: Correct improper driving habits, maintain steady acceleration, avoid coasting in neutral, reduce the car's load, perform regular maintenance and inspections, and address any issues immediately when they are discovered.
When driving my MG6, I've experienced unexplained sudden spikes in fuel consumption, feeling as if the fuel tank was leaking. Aggressive acceleration and hard braking are primary culprits - each time I stomp on the accelerator, the engine injects extra fuel. Another factor is insufficient tire pressure, where increased rolling resistance makes the car feel like it's dragging its feet. A dirty air filter makes things worse, as the engine struggles to intake air, leading to poor combustion efficiency and wasted fuel. Frequent AC use in summer also contributes significantly, with the compressor consuming additional fuel. I recommend cultivating gentle driving habits, regularly checking tire pressure (the standard value is on the door frame sticker), and changing the air filter yourself (it's quite easy). If the issue persists, it might indicate deeper problems like oxygen sensor failure - best to visit a 4S shop for diagnostic scanning. Don't procrastinate; addressing it early saves both peace of mind and money.
