Increased fuel consumption – this is a frequent problem for motorists. Since the beginning of production, the owners had noticed that over time, to overcome the same way a car needs more and more fuel, which, naturally, are not happy, even alarming. In fact, increased fuel consumption – it is a serious occasion to reflect on the state of the iron horse.

Of Course, it depends on the engine size, its power, performance and even the manufacturer, as some do literally “squeeze” of Assembly last possibility, while others use a little more and third and less than half the potential of the engine. Consider some of the reasons for the increase in fuel consumption.Increased fuel consumption

The First & ndash; driving style. This factor fairly much. The fact that many drivers don't pay attention to their driving skill and doing it, not thinking about the fact that you can turn a higher gear, or you can set the neutral and drive to turn “freewheeling”. Oddly enough, but changing driving style in a more relaxed way able to cope with the problem which is troubling many motorists: “How to reduce gasoline consumption?”. In addition, such activities will be favourable to the car, because the load on it will decrease significantly if you reduce the number of acceleration and braking, which can sometimes be quite dynamic.Consumption of gasoline idling

Increased fuel consumption may occur due to a malfunction of some engine components, for example, the carburetor, intake tract, and crank groups. The solution to this problem is to repair that in the first case can do removing and washing with further adjustment, repair of the second and third case can become costly, since grinding of the valves and replace the piston or just the piston rings – it's expensive, which will be solved not every owner.

Another indicator – fuel consumption at idle. It is very important for owners of vehicles with carburettor engines, since tuning a fuel-injected engine is, in principle, impossible. Where is the car standing and the engine idling? For example, at traffic lights. Modern cars are equipped with system start/stop, which shuts off engine after a stop and starts it on demand, according to the manufacturers, it is able to save up to a litre of fuel in the urban cycle.How to reduce gasoline consumption

And finally, the most painful procedure for the engine – warm up in the winter. The establishment of the unit in -20 and warming to operating temperature is equivalent to 500 km of run in the easy mode operation. Of course, this leaves more than half a liter, but still.

From the above it follows that the increased fuel consumption could be a consequence of not only one, but a “bouquet” of the reasons why its reduction, as a rule, consists of trifles but not of a single event. If the engine began to consume too much fuel, it's a serious reason to think about its “health” and contact the service center.
