Fuel Selection: There are numerous options available when purchasing fuel for your C3. When choosing fuel, one must have a fundamental understanding of what the car requires most. Not only may choosing the incorrect fuel selection reduce your car's fuel efficiency, but it can also have an impact on engine performance.
Idling: When estimating fuel economy, car owners typically neglect to factor in the time the vehicle was running when the tyres were fully still. Idling has a zero km/l return and has a big effect on the estimated mileage.
Irresponsible Driving: Only apply severe braking when necessary to save a life or avert a collision. Otherwise, it won't be able to preserve your car's exceptional fuel economy. The biggest factor preventing your car from using petrol efficiently is careless usage of the clutch, gearbox, and brake.
Lack of Maintenance: The lack of maintenance can be a serious problem for any vehicle. It also significantly affects fuel efficiency. However, regular maintenance keeps your car in a zone where it uses less fuel and extends its lifespan.
Engine Condition: Your C3's mileage is greatly influenced by the engine, which is the most important part of the vehicle. Make sure the engine is tuned and that the air filter element and spark plugs are clean. Do not forget to periodically check the engine oil. The engine oil offsets any wear and tear that your Citroen C3 may incur because they maintain the parts well-oiled. Pay attention to the oil filters because they have an impact on the efficiency of your engine. Make sure you check your car for leaks and damage.
Upgrades: Upgrading the pre-installed and in-built items may affect your car's mileage. Please research before installing an oversized tyre or adding any feature, as this could affect the overall mileage. Broader tyres can cause more traction and added pressure on the engine.
