Motorcycles waste gas due to incorrect driving techniques.
When you have had your car serviced regularly, even if it is a newly purchased car, the fuel consumption is still low - The cause could be your wrong driving style.
Motorcycles used for a long time often have a problem of fuel consumption. However, even if you have carefully maintained your vehicle periodically or even just bought a new one, the fuel consumption is still as usual. And the cause may be due to some of your own wrong driving practices.

| Driving incorrectly causes the car to waste gas. |
Here are some common mistakes you may make while driving that cause your gas mileage to be higher than normal:
Speeding, braking a lot, braking suddenly
The habit of driving fast, when encountering obstacles on the road, sudden braking will cause the system to reduce inertia, increase power consumption, at the same time sudden braking causes the fuel that has not yet burned to stop suddenly, heating the engine, causing the vehicle's fuel consumption system to use more fuel.
Not shifting the car when needed
Many manual car drivers are often hesitant to change gears when encountering obstacles, stopping the car or going uphill. This is one of the reasons why the car consumes a lot of gas. If you use the right gear for the speed of the car, the fuel will be burned moderately and will not cause much gas loss.
When the car hits a slope or enters a bad road, shift to a lower gear. When stopping at an intersection, reduce the throttle and shift to a lower gear than the one just used. When the car starts moving, shift to 1st gear.
Spark plugs are not changed regularly
This happens to many women who ride motorbikes. If the ignition system is not replaced regularly, the vehicle will consume more energy to start.

| Not changing spark plugs regularly also leads to fuel consumption. |
Stop the car without turning off the engine
With the fear of restarting the car after stopping, many car users still leave the engine running without turning it off when stopping, this will waste a lot of fuel.
Riding a motorbike without steady throttle
Uneven throttle, sometimes fast, sometimes slow when driving on the road not only increases the risk of danger but also hinders the conversion of gasoline, causing a lot of gasoline to be wasted.
Overloading the vehicle
Not only is it dangerous when participating in traffic, but carrying an excess weight also puts a lot of pressure on the vehicle's operating system, causing the vehicle to burn more fuel, which means it also uses a lot more gasoline.
Over-inflated or under-inflated tires
Not many people pay attention to tire pressure. Only when the tire is too flat or too soft do they pump it up again, which is not only dangerous, quickly damages the vehicle but also wastes gas for the motorbike.
Some signs that can cause the motorbike to consume fuel abnormally are: The motorbike takes longer to start, is harder to start, often stalls on the road and is difficult to restart; The spark plugs are black, wet or have many spark plug problems; The motorbike feels sluggish when driving, often hears strange noises in the motorbike; The motorbike overheats abnormally.
If you encounter the above situations, it's time to take your car for maintenance to prevent traffic accidents and reduce fuel consumption.
