Top 10 Main Causes Of High Fuel Consumption In Cars by Autoreportusa: 2:13am On Mar 06, 2019
Excessive fuel consumption is when your car is guzzling more fuel it is suppose to.Thus familiarizing your self with the problems is another way to keep your car running as efficiently and economically as possible.

So here am going to give you the 9 main causes of high fuel consumption in cars.

Failed fuel injector

Reduced efficiency in the injector can cause fuel to be wasted by leaking or suppling excessive fuel.failed fuel injector can be caused mainly by
dirt in the injector system.
when it has leakage.

Bad spark plugs

The spark plugs is responsible for sparking combustion in your car engine.
If it is not working properly it can lead to excessive burning of fuel.

Dirty airflow system

Dirt in the airflow system can cause high fuel consumption.

Poor quality fuel

Premium fuel,i.e fuel with the highest octane number will give you the maximum horsepower and economically good.
So anything short of this will lead to a high fuel consumption.

Overspeeding

The more you accelerate your car while driving,the more fuel it is likely to consume.

Poor Engine oil

The quality of engine oil you choose to use in your car engine can also affect the rate at which fuel is consumed.
Use motor oil that is high in reducing friction or the one your car manual recommends.

Overloading the car

Using alot of electrical devices like your air conditioner will increase the load on the car engine thereby leading to high fuel consumption.

Bad driving habits

This is very common cause of high fuel consumption.Bad driving habits like overspending, stoping alot during short distances e.t.c can lead to high fuel consumption.

Bad Tires

Low tire pressure is also a common cause of high fuel consumption.The rolling resistance will place more load on the transmission,then the engine will work harder leading to a higher fuel consumption.

leaking Exhaust

This is also a very common cause of high fuel consumption.
