Why is the fuel consumption of MINI so high?

[Dale]

MINI's fuel consumption is around 5.6L/100km, which is relatively low and considered normal. The following factors affect fuel consumption: 1. Tire pressure: Low tire pressure will increase fuel consumption. 2. Engine: Dirt and grease on the engine surface can affect engine heat dissipation, thereby leading to increased fuel consumption. 3. Carbon deposits in the transmission: This can reduce engine power, which may be accompanied by increased fuel consumption to some extent. To achieve the same power as before the carbon deposit effect, it is necessary to increase throttle opening and corresponding fuel supply. 4. Vehicle load or irregular driving: Overloading the vehicle, carrying too many items in the trunk, etc., will increase the vehicle's weight. Driving habits such as slamming on the brakes, driving at high speeds in low gears, frequent braking, and stepping hard on the accelerator when starting will all increase the vehicle's fuel consumption.
