Why is the fuel consumption of the Refine S3 getting higher and higher?
1 Answers
The reasons for the increasing fuel consumption of the Refine S3 include the following situations: 1. Insufficient tire pressure and tire wear. Low or insufficient tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the ground, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. Severe tire wear can cause frequent skidding, which also increases fuel consumption. 2. Pay attention to fuel quality and regularly clean carbon deposits. Poor-quality gasoline can lead to more carbon deposits, which roughen the intake pipe walls, affecting the intake effect and the quality of the air-fuel mixture, causing a sharp rise in fuel consumption. 3. Regularly check the oxygen sensor. Over time, the computer of the electronic fuel injection system cannot obtain information about the oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe, often resulting in a higher concentration of the air-fuel mixture in the engine, which also increases fuel consumption. 4. Driving habits. Everyone has different driving habits, and poor driving habits can also lead to higher fuel consumption. 5. Road conditions. Congested road conditions can also cause higher fuel consumption because the engine works harder to overcome ground friction when the vehicle moves from a standstill, increasing fuel injection and thus fuel consumption. 6. Vehicle weight. Carrying excessively heavy items in the vehicle can increase fuel consumption by about 2% compared to normal driving. 7. Regularly replace spark plugs. Spark plugs generate high-voltage sparks to ignite the air-fuel mixture. If damaged, they reduce ignition energy, causing uneven combustion of the mixture, slower acceleration, and increased fuel consumption.
