Is your car also giving low mileage? Check these six things

New Delhi. Every car owner wants his car to give excellent mileage and that he has to spend as little money from his pocket on fuel as possible. Many times it happens that a car giving good mileage gradually starts consuming more fuel. Bad driving or improper maintenance can also cause a car to consume more fuel. Or it could be that the petrol pump from where you are filling fuel is adulterating petrol and diesel. Correct driving, fuel injectors, air filters, correct air pressure in tyres and even the bearings in the wheels play a very important role in giving good mileage to any vehicle.

If there is any deficiency in one or more of these, then understand that the mileage is ruined. Along with the speed, gear and method of braking of the car, its maintenance also has a great impact on the mileage of the car. If you get the car serviced on time but drive badly, the car will not give good mileage. At the same time, even if the driving is correct and there is negligence in maintenance, the car will consume more fuel.

Get fuel filled only from a trusted petrol pump
Always get your vehicle filled with fuel from a trusted petrol pump. If the fuel is adulterated, your vehicle will consume more fuel. It will also have a negative impact on the engine of the vehicle. Therefore, if your vehicle’s mileage suddenly drops, first of all, try getting the fuel filled from another place.

Take special care of injectors
Injectors deliver fuel to the car’s engine. If there is any problem in the injectors, it will also lead to more oil consumption. Therefore, fuel injectors should be serviced on time and it should be checked frequently whether they are working properly. Usually mechanics do not pay attention to the injectors while doing general service. If the car is giving less mileage, then ask him to check the injectors.

Cleaning the Air Filter
If the air filter of the car is jammed, then your car will give less mileage. The air flow gets obstructed due to the accumulation of dirt, dust and mud on the air filter. The car has to use more power. As a result, more fuel is spent. Whenever you get the car serviced, remember to ask the mechanic about cleaning the air filter.

noise from bearing
If the bearings of the car’s wheels get worn out or rusted, it increases friction and rubbing on the roads. The engine has to put in more force to rotate the wheels. This affects the mileage of the car. When the wheel bearings get damaged, they usually start making noise. If you also start hearing noise, get the bearings checked immediately. Always maintain the correct air pressure in all four wheels. Mileage is also affected due to improper air pressure.

Get servicing done on time
If you do not get the car serviced on time and the engine oil becomes old, then the car starts consuming more fuel. Old engine oil is not able to provide proper lubrication to the parts of the car. As a result, the parts do not work properly.

drive in the right gear
If the correct gear is not used according to the speed, the engine of the car has to be over pushed. All car manuals mention the use of gears according to the speed. Use the gear accordingly. Do not drive the car at high speed with a cold engine. If possible, keep the car started for a while first.
