Why is the fuel consumption of Geely Binyue so high?
2 Answers
Geely Binyue's high fuel consumption is due to the following reasons: 1. Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive engine carbon deposits are a major cause, primarily due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not noticeable, it indicates a significant amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In such cases, the vehicle must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits inside the engine. After cleaning, it is advisable to drive the car at high speed for a while, as this helps increase exhaust flow and allows stronger airflow to remove larger carbon deposit particles. 2. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor primarily monitors the fuel-air ratio in the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gases during driving. In this case, the oxygen sensor should be replaced. 3. Regularly replace the three filters: During vehicle use, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty, affecting performance and sending incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits.
I've been driving the Geely Bin Yue for quite some time, and I feel the fuel consumption is indeed a bit on the high side. The main reasons probably lie in my daily driving habits. I don't have a very smooth driving style—I often floor the accelerator when starting off and frequently overtake at high speeds. Such aggressive acceleration causes the engine to inject more fuel, driving up the fuel consumption. It's even more frustrating when driving in the city, with stop-and-go traffic in congested areas keeping the engine running in inefficient ranges, burning several extra liters per kilometer. I also neglected to check when the tire pressure was low, as underinflated tires increase rolling resistance. My advice is to control your speed, cultivate smooth driving habits, avoid lane-cutting and hard braking. Maintain your car regularly, replace the air filter to ensure the engine breathes smoothly. Fuel consumption is decent on long highway trips, but city commuting means spending more on fuel.
