⛽👎 7 Reasons for high fuel consumption!!! and how to solve

[@herbnalis3723]

Don't forget number 8. The cooling system consisting of the thermostat & ECU temp sensor. If the fuel injection computer thinks the engine is still cold it will run a richer air fuel ratio until the engine warms up fully. If thermostat is stuck open then engine will never fully warm up. Check thermostat by running engine from cold & feeling top radiator hose, it should stay cold until thermostat opens & then go to hot to hold. If hose starts getting warm slowly then thermostat is stuck open & needs replacing. Injection temp sensor,(thermistor), needs to be tested for correct reading,(resistance) when engine is warmed up. Also check wiring for sensor by measuring sensor reading from the ECU wiring plug.

I had a bad MAF sensor in my Toyota Corolla 2007 inspite of regular visits to the mechanic’s nothing resolved the ignition and stalling problem. After a lot of research on web I learnt about MAF sensors and the way to clean it rather than replacing it. I took a chance and brought a bottle of acetone from the medical store, removed the MAF sensor and poured the whole bottle (acetones)in an open container and submerged the MAF sensor in it and covered the container tightly so that acetone does not evaporate. After 15 minutes I used an old tooth brush and cleaned it thoroughly. Allowed it to dry for an hour and reconnected the sensor and ever since then it has worked perfectly. It’s been 4 years now and it’s still working flawlessly.

[@chiya2006]

There’s MAF cleaner spray to use. It dries within 5 minutes. Although if you don’t have that, Rubbing alcohol works fine too.

I had cars ranging from 1.0 to 1.8 and Im always worried about economy but what I learnt shocked me abit. The 1.8 Civic I had was almost the same as the 1.0 Yaris. You would think smaller engines use less but my guess is that they require more revs to get going whereas bigger engines can achieve the same speed at lower RPM. Ofcourse there is a sweet spot ( probably 1.6/1.8 depending on the engine technology ) but there is not much of a difference like mentioned between big/small engines to a certain extent. Ignore those claimed figures, I have almost 20 years of real world experience on about 10 different cars and learnt these lessons.

[@erika8357]

They missed ALL items on my own list: 😃 1. Binding brakes. Even the slightest binding will give a noticeable increase in fuel consumption 2. Keep tire pressure at the highest recommended.. 3. Do NOT go to wider tires. And only buy tires with "A" or "B" rolling resistance classification (maybe that marking is only used in Europe? ) 4. Petrol engines (without turbo) use to have a temperature control valve on the intake of the air filter box, where warm air taken from the exhaust system is mixed with cold air to ensure a constant temperature. Nice thought but the thermostat in the mixing valve tends to get stuck at "fully warm" position over time. Engines tend to lose both power and efficiency when running on hot air. Worth checking 🤔 5. Incorrect toe setting increases rolling resistance. A setting as close to "0" as possible usually gives lowest fuel consumption 6. Clean aerodynamics. Remove all unnecessary stuff like roof racks, caravan mirrors, aftermarket spoilers and wind deflectors..
