Even with regular oil changes and basic tune-ups, several less obvious issues can cause poor mileage in your Khyber.

Possible Hidden Causes:

Incorrect carburetor tuning running too rich

Vacuum leaks in intake o r fuel lines

Dragging brakes often due to stuck calipers o r handbrake not fully releasing

Old o r worn-out engine components like piston rings and valves

Worn timing belt o r incorrect timing setting

What to Do:

Get a proper carburetor tuning done by a skilled mechanic

Check tire pressure regularly under-inflated tires lower mileage

Use a fuel additive occasionally to clean the fuel system
