What Are the Common Causes of Poor Fuel Economy in My Suzuki Bolan?

I’m concerned about the fuel economy of my Suzuki Bolan. It doesn’t seem to give as much mileage as it should, especially for a vehicle with a small engine. What are the most common causes of poor fuel economy in this vehicle, and what can I do to improve it?

Poor fuel economy in the Suzuki Bolan can be caused by several factors:

Worn-out Engine Components: Over time, components like spark plugs, fuel injectors, and air filters wear out and may reduce the engines efficiency. This leads to higher fuel consumption.

Poor Driving Habits: Aggressive driving hard acceleration, speeding, heavy braking can result in excessive fuel consumption. Smooth acceleration and deceleration help improve fuel efficiency.

Overloading the Vehicle: Carrying heavy loads, more than the vehicles recommended capacity, places unnecessary strain on the engine, increasing fuel consumption.

Faulty Oxygen Sensors: If the oxygen sensors in the exhaust system are not functioning properly, it can cause incorrect fuel-air mixtures, leading to poor fuel economy.

Excessive Use of Air Conditioning: Running the air conditioning for extended periods places additional load on the engine, leading to higher fuel consumption.

Solution:

Regularly service the engine and replace worn-out components.

Adopt smoother driving habits and avoid heavy acceleration.

Avoid overloading the vehicle and use air conditioning only when necessary.

Have the oxygen sensors and exhaust system checked and replaced if necessary.
