Fuel economy


Recommended Posts

  • 1 month later...

There are many reasons for fuel consumption in a car. I can explain you few:

 

>Oxygen Sensor: When the oxygen sensor becomes sluggish, it affects the fuel economy of the car.

> Coolant sensor: When the coolant sensor becomes defective or inaccurate, the circulation of the coolant is irregular in the engine. The fuel mixture will not remain rich and it will waste the extra fuel and the fuel consumption will be very high.

> Engine Thermostat: Defective thermostat results into high fuel consumption.
>
> Engine Misfiring: Engine misfiring waste a lot of fuel.

> Fuel Injectors: When fuel injectors are dirty it results into low fuel economy.

> Oil viscosity: if the viscosity of the oil is not as per requirement of the car, that also leads to poor fule economy.

All these things affect the fuel consumption.

See every car has a specific range of oil viscosity which is best suited for that specific car model. If in case you put oil in your car with a different viscosity as required, it affects the engine badly which can result into leaking of oil and ruining your complete car engine. The oil viscosity required for your car is always guided by your dealer, workshop and also mentioned in your car guide book.
