Why Does Fuel Consumption Increase After Transmission Replacement?
1 Answers
Replacing the transmission may result in higher fuel consumption due to reasons such as insufficient tire pressure, tire wear, and poor fuel quality. Insufficient Tire Pressure and Tire Wear: If tire pressure is insufficient or tires are worn, the friction between the tires and the ground increases, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. Severe tire wear can also cause frequent slipping, which similarly increases fuel consumption. Poor Fuel Quality: Using low-quality gasoline can lead to increased carbon buildup. Excessive carbon deposits roughen the intake pipe walls, negatively affecting air intake efficiency and the quality of the air-fuel mixture, thereby causing a significant rise in fuel consumption.
