Why is the Lavida's fuel consumption so high?
2 Answers
Lavida's high fuel consumption is mainly due to tire issues and inaccurate vehicle wheel alignment. Below are specific explanations for Lavida's high fuel consumption: Tire Issues: Tire pressure below the standard level increases the tire's contact area and rolling resistance, leading to wear on both sides of the tire shoulders and higher fuel consumption. The inflation pressure ranges from 0.1471 to 0.490MPa, with low-pressure tires generally suitable for private vehicles. Typically, the inflation pressure for household cars is between 0.2~0.25MPa. Inaccurate Vehicle Wheel Alignment: Inaccurate vehicle wheel alignment (incorrect toe and camber angles) increases friction between the tires and the ground, which not only damages the tires themselves but also raises fuel consumption.
The issue of high fuel consumption in the Lavida is quite common, and I've encountered similar situations. The main reason is improper driving habits. If you're the type who enjoys stepping hard on the accelerator to speed up or frequently stops and starts in the city, fuel consumption will naturally soar. Controlling speed is crucial; for example, maintaining a steady speed on the highway can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Using the cruise control function is a good idea to avoid unnecessary sudden braking. Additionally, avoid running the air conditioning for extended periods while idling, as fuel consumption increases when the engine is under heavy load. Check your driving mode to see if it's too aggressive; adjusting your habits may lead to improvements.
