Why is the fuel consumption of the Freelander 2 so high?

[SerenityDella]

Factors affecting fuel consumption include driving habits, etc. Below are the reasons for high fuel consumption in cars: 1. Driver's driving habits: Apart from factors like vehicle design and engine, the main cause of excessive fuel consumption is the driver's driving habits. Frequent sudden braking and rapid acceleration are the biggest contributors to increased fuel consumption. 2. Road conditions: Road condition factors include whether the road is smooth, the level of friction, the steepness of slopes, and whether there is traffic congestion. Generally, roads with many sharp turns and frequent use of brakes will result in significantly higher fuel consumption. Additionally, fuel consumption during severe traffic congestion can be more than three times that during smooth traffic conditions. 3. Maintenance: Poorly maintained engines can see a 10% to 20% increase in fuel consumption, and a dirty air filter can also lead to a 10% increase in fuel consumption. To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended to change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers and check the filters.
