What to Do About High Fuel Consumption in CS35?

[Gideon]

Solutions for high fuel consumption in CS35 are as follows: 1. Abnormal engine operation causing increased fuel consumption: Faults should be promptly addressed to restore normal engine operation. 2. Regular vehicle maintenance: For example, frequently clean the air filter to ensure the engine breathes fresh air and maintains smooth intake system operation. Regularly inspect the ignition system and replace spark plugs periodically, as sufficiently strong ignition sparks ensure complete combustion. 3. The fuel system should also be cleaned regularly: Carbon buildup on the fuel injectors can cause needle valve sealing issues, leading to fuel leakage. The engine interior should also be cleaned of carbon deposits periodically, as excessive carbon buildup can cause inaccurate fuel control and increased fuel consumption. 4. Regularly check tire pressure to ensure it is at the normal level: Both underinflated and overinflated tires can increase fuel consumption. Regular checks should also be performed.

After driving the CS35 for several years, I found that high fuel consumption is mostly due to poor driving habits. The car itself is not light, and if you frequently accelerate or brake abruptly, or change lanes often at high speeds, it burns fuel quickly. I recommend developing the habit of gentle starts, easing off the throttle early before traffic lights, and trying to maintain an economical speed range of 60-80 km/h. Checking tire pressure is important—the manufacturer recommends 2.3-2.5 bar for cold tires, as too low or too high increases friction. Don’t skimp on cheap, low-quality brands when replacing tires. Also, avoid running the AC too hard, especially in summer—use recirculation mode to reduce engine load. Regular maintenance, like cleaning the air filter and spark plugs, can improve fuel efficiency. I’ve tried these myself and reduced fuel consumption by over 10%.

I think maintenance details have a huge impact on fuel consumption. CS35 owners shouldn't overlook small components. Last time my fuel consumption spiked, it turned out the air filter was clogged—dust caused insufficient air intake, making the engine inject extra fuel. Routine checks for this car include tire pressure, recommended around 2.4 bar; replacing worn tires significantly improves fuel efficiency. The fuel system also needs maintenance—for example, carbon buildup in fuel injectors or faulty oxygen sensors can cause the ECU to misjudge the air-fuel mixture, doubling fuel consumption. I had a fuel system cleaning done at the dealership, and it stabilized. Also, avoid overloading the trunk with unnecessary items. Develop a habit of gentle throttle application, especially ideal for highway conditions. Get these small things right, and fuel consumption will naturally drop.

Driving the CS35 in the city consumes too much fuel, with frequent stops and starts at traffic lights being particularly fuel-intensive. I've tried avoiding peak hours and taking smoother routes, which significantly reduced fuel consumption. During traffic jams, avoid aggressive lane changes; maintaining a steady, slow speed is more fuel-efficient. The air conditioning has a big impact—using recirculation mode cools the cabin faster and saves some fuel. Regularly check the tire pressure against the manual's recommended values, as under-inflation increases resistance. Remove unnecessary heavy items from the car. Occasionally driving on the highway helps clear carbon deposits.
