If Your Car’s fuel Efficiency is Dipping it May be time to Send it For Servicing

• Engine issues: Any damage in the engine will prevent the car from working properly, even when it is fairly new. The engine might be in the right condition, but the components necessary for the combustion cycle may become faulty. For instance, the injectors may accumulate dirt, and the oxygen sensor or spark plug can be damaged. These often cause more fuel consumption resulting in low mileage. The engine may function normally, but it will prevent the fuel from burning efficiently, and is likely to consume more fuel than normal.
• Use of incorrect engine oil: One of the reasons behind your car consuming more fuel is engine oil. It is an important element to ensure the proper functioning of the engine. There are different grades of engine oil, and you have to be careful at the time of selecting it for your car. Just for example, thicker engine oil will restrict the free movement of pistons, resulting in engine overheating. Over time it will increase your oil consumption and lower the mileage.
• Bad Quality fuel: You must be careful of what goes in the engine. If the fuel quality is poor, it can cause severe damage to the engine components. There are different varieties of additives available at a fuel station that make the car run better with the same fuel. But again, you need to be careful when selecting any additive for the car. The use of the wrong one can also cause harm to the engine. Good quality additive helps clean the valves and injectors of an engine, and reduce the buildup of after-burn deposits. It helps improve the mileage of your car too.
• Avoid using the air conditioner all the time: Using the air conditioner is a major reason your car is giving poor mileage. The air conditioner needs more power from the engine. As a result, it puts more pressure and increases fuel consumption. Keeping the windows down not only keeps the temperatures bearable, but also improves mileage. You must also understand that if you choose to drive at high speeds lowering the windows, it may drag you car while reducing fuel efficiency.

These are some of the factors that make your car drink more fuel. When you notice any issues with the engine or mechanical faults lowering the mileage, get in touch with the Mysyara team. If you take immediate action, it will not only improve your car’s efficiency but also prevent expensive repairs.
