Poor maintenance can influence the fuel consumption of your vehicle and raise it by 10%. It’s important to change the fuel filter and the oil regularly, and use an oil filter in the engine. Dirt can destroy the engine and result in huge consumption figures. One side effect of poor maintenance is a dead engine, so neglecting this will slightly raise your expenses.

Up until the 1970s, car producers didn’t think too much about fuel consumption. But the big oil crisis changed that, and by 1978 the biggest selling point for a car was low consumption. Nowadays, buyers still look at how much fuel the vehicle burns, and we are looking forward to a time when manufacturers declare a “minus” consumption and drivers can claim a bucketload of petrol for each 100 kilometers of mileage.

The most common causes of high fuel consumption are: dirty filters, electronic failure, low tire pressure, and other minor breakdowns. It’s very important to keep an eye on the technical condition of your vehicle to achieve your desired consumption level. Of course, drivers who don’t service their cars do have the advantage of being able to buy a new car more often.
