ChatMaven Posted March 23, 2024 Share Posted March 23, 2024 Greetings, everybody. It is well acknowledged that fuel efficiency experiences a decline during the winter season. However, I want to conduct a series of inspections to identify any other factors that may be contributing to these issues. Presently, I am encountering difficulties in surpassing a fuel efficiency of 54mpg, although at this period in the previous year, I effortlessly achieved a fuel efficiency of 60mpg. The user has recently undergone tyre replacement (specifically Bridgestone Potenza tyres with an A/B grade), tracking, and a service. This week, I will be undergoing a gearbox repair that is somewhat overdue (5k). I believe this will provide some assistance. However, I am curious whether I might connect my iCars to get real-time data in order to determine if there is an injector or if the motor oil is depleted. I have not seen any decline in performance or instances of failure, suggesting that the situation may be both significant and inconsequential. Where can I get instructions, numerical resources, or any indications on what to search for? I am proficient at disassembling components, but less skilled in assembling components. Highly valued.

bvlenci Posted March 23, 2024 Share Posted March 23, 2024 What is the temperature of the water/coolant? Blinking thermostats may have an impact on fuel efficiency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpaco45 Posted March 23, 2024 Share Posted March 23, 2024 It is essential to ensure that the tyres are inflated to a higher pressure level within the permissible range, sometimes referred to as a 'laden automobile'. Additionally, replenish the gasoline tank with high-quality fuel such as Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate, or alternatively, add fuel additives like Redex, Millers, or Forte.

ianwh4 Posted March 23, 2024 Share Posted March 23, 2024 Were there any covert changes made by the dealer regarding emissions during the vehicle's service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatMaven Posted March 23, 2024 Author Share Posted March 23, 2024 Appears satisfactory, consistent, without abrupt declines, evidently need a significant amount of time to reach the lower Temos at now, but not readily apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatMaven Posted March 23, 2024 Author Share Posted March 23, 2024 No, the service was not provided by MB, a local expert. The airbag was replaced and the emissions were rejected around one year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatMaven Posted March 23, 2024 Author Share Posted March 23, 2024 The tyres were replaced when I had them changed. I recently utilised forte on a long run, and she also receives occasional booting. I just acquired a new dpf sensor just before winter, so I expect to have completed the minimum requirements. It is peculiar that it seems to have ceased, which is why I am seeking an alternative explanation for the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
