What to Do When the Fuel Consumption of the Southeast Lingyue V3 is Very High?

[EmmanuelFitz]

First, insufficient or excessive tire pressure can increase fuel consumption, so it is important to regularly check the tire pressure to ensure it is within the normal range. Refer to the car manual for the minimum viscosity lubricating oil recommended for your vehicle. The lower the viscosity, the less effort the engine requires, resulting in better fuel efficiency. If you notice a sudden increase in fuel consumption, be sure to check and maintain the engine to restore its optimal operating condition.

My Soueast Lingyue V3 suddenly started guzzling fuel like crazy a while back. I started with the basics - pumped all tires to 2.5bar pressure, but saw little improvement. Then I replaced the air filter which was practically clogged with dirt. Next I checked the oxygen sensor and sure enough it was faulty - after replacement my fuel consumption dropped by nearly 2L. Actually, these older cars are prone to carbon buildup - it's best to add fuel system cleaner every six months rather than waiting for the engine warning light. Also, avoid aggressive acceleration/braking, keep windows closed when using AC, and minimize recirculation mode - these are all good fuel-saving tricks.
