Why is the fuel consumption of the Sylphy getting higher and higher?
2 Answers
The reasons for the increasing fuel consumption of the Sylphy are as follows: 1. Insufficient tire pressure and tire wear: Insufficient or low tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the ground, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. Severe tire wear often causes slipping, which also increases fuel consumption. 2. Pay attention to fuel quality: Regularly clean carbon deposits. 3. Other faults: If the average fuel consumption increases, consider whether there are faults in the car, such as excessive carbon deposits in the engine, damaged oxygen sensors, long overdue replacement of the 'three filters', issues with certain engine control units, or insufficient tire pressure. These factors can all lead to a sudden increase in fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Sylphy for several years, and recently I've noticed that the fuel consumption is getting higher, which is quite a headache. After analyzing, it might be due to my own driving habits, such as stepping hard on the accelerator when in a hurry, with rapid acceleration or sudden braking consuming more fuel. Traffic jams are too frequent, and the engine keeps idling, resulting in low fuel efficiency. Car maintenance also needs attention—the air filter hasn't been replaced for three months, and dust has clogged the intake, leading to incomplete combustion and higher fuel consumption. The air conditioning was used a lot in summer, with high cooling power, especially under high temperatures, putting extra burden on the engine. It's suggested to first check the tire pressure—don't wait until they're flat to take action. Develop smooth driving habits, maintain a steady speed, and the fuel consumption will decrease somewhat. Also, replace the air filter—don't underestimate these routine maintenance tasks.
