What to Do If the Baojun 730 Consumes Too Much Fuel?
2 Answers
It is recommended to perform regular inspections and maintenance on the vehicle, including cleaning or replacing the three filters (air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter). Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons why a vehicle may consume more fuel over time and the corresponding solutions: Increasing carbon deposits in the engine: Carbon deposits are produced due to incomplete combustion of fuel. They not only accumulate inside the engine but also in the intake manifold, intake valves, and throttle body. Solution: Clean the carbon deposits inside the cylinders and the intake system. Decreased efficiency of spark plugs and ignition coils: This can lead to insufficient engine power and increased fuel consumption. Solution: Replace the spark plugs and ignition coils. Carbon deposits on the fuel injectors: Carbon deposits on the fuel injectors can result in incomplete fuel atomization, preventing proper mixing of fuel and air, which reduces vehicle power and increases fuel consumption. Solution: Clean the fuel injectors.
I noticed my Baojun 730's fuel consumption has increased compared to before, probably related to my recent driving habits. Try accelerating smoothly, avoid stomping on the gas pedal, and maintain a speed between 60 to 80 km/h for optimal fuel efficiency. Reducing sudden braking and anticipating traffic lights is more effective. Also, don't set the air conditioning too cold; a moderate temperature is better because the compressor consumes a significant amount of fuel when activated. Check tire pressure monthly and inflate them if needed, as low pressure increases rolling resistance. Clean or replace the air filter if it's dirty, as poor airflow makes the engine burn more fuel. With these adjustments, my fuel consumption dropped from 9 liters to just over 7 liters per 100 km, saving me a lot of money.
