Poor fuel efficiency in Suzuki APVs can be caused by various factors:

Dirty Air Filter: A clogged air filter reduces engine efficiency by restricting airflow. Replacing the air filter every 12,000 to 15,000 km can help improve fuel economy.
Worn Spark Plugs: Faulty spark plugs cause incomplete combustion, leading to increased fuel consumption. Replacing spark plugs every 30,000-50,000 km can improve fuel efficiency.
Low Tire Pressure: Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance, causing the engine to use more power and fuel. Keeping tires properly inflated can boost fuel efficiency.
Aggressive Driving: Sudden acceleration, speeding, and hard braking all increase fuel consumption. Adopting smoother driving habits can significantly improve mileage.
Fuel Injector Issues: Clogged o r malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to inefficient fuel delivery. Cleaning o r replacing the injectors can help restore optimal fuel efficiency.
Resolution: Regular maintenance, including replacing the air filter, spark plugs, and keeping tires properly inflated, along with adopting more economical driving habits, can improve fuel efficiency.
