Why does the Trumpchi GS4 have high fuel consumption?
1 Answers
Reasons for high fuel consumption in the Trumpchi GS4: 1. Driving habits: Rapid acceleration and sudden braking in urban driving and speeding can increase fuel consumption by 5%-30%. Prolonged idling also raises fuel consumption since the vehicle consumes energy whenever it's running. Maintaining a steady speed can effectively reduce fuel usage. 2. Vehicle maintenance: Regularly check and adjust tire pressure. Underinflated tires increase the contact area with the road surface, raising driving resistance and fuel consumption. Additionally, dirt and grease on the engine surface can impair heat dissipation, leading to higher fuel consumption. Proper vehicle maintenance is crucial for reducing fuel consumption. Regular inspections and servicing not only lower fuel usage but also extend the vehicle's lifespan and prevent unexpected issues. 3. External environment: Road conditions and weather affect fuel consumption. Generally, smooth roads consume less fuel than bumpy ones, straight paths are more fuel-efficient than winding routes, and clear roads save more fuel compared to traffic jams. In summer, hot weather increases fuel consumption due to air conditioning usage. In winter, low temperatures prevent gasoline from reaching optimal combustion temperature, resulting in incomplete combustion and additional fuel loss.
