Why is the Kia K3 consuming more and more fuel?
1 Answers
The reasons why the Kia K3 is consuming more and more fuel are as follows: 1. The impact of tire width on fuel consumption: When the vehicle leaves the factory, the tires it is equipped with are usually reasonably selected based on factors such as the vehicle's weight and displacement. If the tires are wider, the contact area with the ground is also wider, resulting in greater friction resistance and naturally higher fuel consumption. If the tires are narrower, fuel consumption will also be lower. This can be said to be determined by inherent factors. 2. The impact of toe and camber angles on fuel consumption: If the vehicle's wheel alignment is poor (incorrect toe or camber angles), it will increase the friction between the tires and the ground, not only damaging the tires themselves but also increasing fuel consumption. 3. The impact of tire pressure on fuel consumption: If the tire pressure is insufficient, the contact area of the tires will increase, leading to greater friction. This not only causes wear on the tire shoulders but also increases fuel consumption. Tire pressure should vary depending on the road conditions and temperature. To ensure the car runs fast and well, it is important to adjust the tire pressure under different conditions to avoid excessive fuel consumption.
