How does the GAC GS3’s fuel efficiency get affected under local driving conditions?

Drivers sometimes notice higher-than-expected fuel consumption in city traffic o r on rough roads. Are traffic congestion, air conditioning use, o r suboptimal fuel quality major contributors? What steps can owners take to improve fuel efficiency without compromising performance?

Fuel consumption can be higher due to a combination of environmental and mechanical factors:

City traffic and stop-and-go driving: Frequent acceleration and braking increase fuel usage.

Air conditioning use: High temperatures in Pakistan require heavy AC use, which strains the engine.

Dirty filters o r poorly tuned engine: Clogged air/fuel filters o r neglected maintenance reduce efficiency.

Tyre pressure and load: Under-inflated tyres o r carrying heavy cargo increases rolling resistance.

Preventive measures:

Maintain air filters, fuel filters, and engine components regularly.

Keep tyres properly inflated and avoid overloading.

Moderate AC and accessory use when possible.

Drive smoothly to reduce unnecessary acceleration and braking.
