Why Is My Suzuki Bolan Consuming More Fuel Than Usual?

I’ve noticed that my Suzuki Bolan is consuming more fuel than usual. Even though I’ve been driving it in the same manner, the mileage seems to be decreasing. What could be causing this sudden increase in fuel consumption, and how can I improve its fuel efficiency?

If your Suzuki Bolan is consuming more fuel than usual, there are several potential causes:

Engine Issues: A misfiring engine o r problems with components like spark plugs, fuel injectors, o r air filters can lead to poor fuel combustion, resulting in increased fuel consumption. If the engine is not operating efficiently, it will burn more fuel.

Fuel System Problems: Faulty fuel pumps o r clogged fuel filters can restrict fuel flow, causing the engine to work harder and use more fuel to maintain performance.

Low Tire Pressure: Underinflated tires cause more resistance on the road, leading to a decrease in fuel efficiency. Check tire pressure regularly and keep it at the manufacturer’s recommended level.

Excessive Idling: Prolonged idling o r frequent stop-and-go driving can reduce fuel economy, as the engine consumes fuel without making significant progress.

Incorrect Fuel Type: Using the wrong grade of fuel can sometimes cause poor fuel economy, especially if the engine is tuned for a specific fuel type.

Solution:

Check and replace any worn-out spark plugs, air filters, and fuel filters.

Have the engine and fuel system inspected by a mechanic.

Ensure tire pressure is properly maintained and avoid overloading.

Reduce idling time and try to drive more smoothly.
