Why has the Sagitar's fuel consumption suddenly increased?
1 Answers
The reasons for the increase in Sagitar's fuel consumption can be varied, possibly due to engine malfunctions; prolonged lack of maintenance leading to aging car parts, which can cause a sudden rise in fuel consumption; higher viscosity of engine oil; driving habits, etc. Below is more related information: 1. Lower temperatures: Generally, during the use of the car, fuel consumption tends to increase in lower temperature environments. This is because the engine needs to maintain a constant temperature to function properly, and in colder conditions, the engine dissipates more heat, requiring more fuel to maintain its operating temperature, thus increasing fuel consumption. 2. Lack of regular maintenance: If the car is not regularly maintained, dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty engine oil results in poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts. If the air filter is too dirty, the engine requires more energy to intake air during operation. Additionally, insufficient air intake can lead to incomplete combustion of fuel in the engine, thereby increasing fuel consumption. 3. Spark plugs: Not replacing spark plugs for a long time can also cause an increase in fuel consumption. When the spark plugs are not functioning properly, insufficient ignition energy can lead to delayed ignition, missing the optimal ignition time, resulting in incomplete combustion of fuel and wasting part of the fuel.
