Poor engine maintenance is a major reason for reduced fuel economy in the Elantra. If engine oil is not changed on time, it becomes thick and less effective at lubricating, forcing the engine to work harder and burn more fuel. Dirty o r clogged air filters restrict airflow into the engine, leading to an improper air-fuel mix and inefficient combustion. Worn-out spark plugs also cause incomplete combustion, wasting fuel. These issues are common when regular service intervals are skipped, especially in areas where service centers are less accessible. Keeping the engine in good condition is essential for optimal fuel consumption.
