Why is the Lavida's fuel consumption so high?

[AndresFitz]

Lavida's high fuel consumption is mainly due to tire pressure being below standard and inaccurate four-wheel alignment. Below are specific explanations for Lavida's high fuel consumption: 1. Tire issues: When tire pressure is below standard, it increases the tire's contact area and rolling resistance, leading to wear on both tire shoulders and higher fuel consumption. The recommended inflation pressure is 0.1471～0.490MPa (1.5～5kg/cm²), with low-pressure tires generally suitable for private vehicles. Typically, the inflation pressure for household cars is 0.2~0.25MPa. 2. Inaccurate four-wheel alignment: If the vehicle's four-wheel alignment is off (incorrect toe and camber angles), it increases friction between the tires and the ground, damaging the tires and also raising fuel consumption.
