Kia Sportage Fuel Consumption. by wickyyolo: 8:03am On Sep 16, 2018
Please somebody should help me. I don't seem to Understand my Kia , the fuel consumption is very high.
If I refuel 3k it can only take me for a day with small run around.
While my Corolla , with 3k it can last me for a week.

I tried changing the bearing, silencer, carburetor etc but still the fuel consumption is high.

I'm still a small boy to be wasting money.
Somebody Help me identify the problem Please

the problem with your vehicle is mindset.
how can you expect same fuel usage of a 1.8L 1150kg vehicle to be same with a 2.0L 1450kg vehicle.

also your vehicle must not be in top condition because I think you have very little knowledge about cars.

take your kia for a scan and solve issues with code generated.

check your tyre size and pressure, ensure your exhaust isn't leaking etc

Scan your car. A Sportage is an SUV with higher engine capacity. The error message will actually throw more light on what is actually wrong with the car.

Your reply is not encouraging.
The two questions i asked has nothing to do with you knowing about cars or being a mechanic.
I will ask again
What year is this vehicle
And you should also snap a picture of your engine because you claimed to have a carburetor.

There are a lot that will not throw a code. In such cases (which this most likely belongs to) the live data is critical.

OP, look for an experienced tech for diagnosis.

So I went to the mechanic to use a scanner.
And he recorded some numbers
