Fuel consumption in an injection field. How to reduce field consumption

Hello friends! Let's discuss how to reduce Niva consumption using simple but effective actions. Despite the stable rise in fuel prices today, you can save by reducing fuel consumption. Here are some fuel-saving options that will increase your vehicle's mileage on a single tank. One of the best ways to save fuel is to buy gasoline in bulk. Wholesale is always cheaper, so you can buy fuel either in bulk or using discount coupons. This way you can save a small amount per 1 liter.

Option 1 of 4: Technical condition of the car and its impact on Niva consumption

1. The main condition is that the tire is always at the required pressure. Sufficiently inflated tires will reduce fuel consumption by approximately 3%. In this case, a decrease in pressure in the wheel by 0.06 atm is observed. per month. Pressure decreases noticeably in winter due to high air density at low temperatures. The recommendation is to check your tire pressure monthly or even weekly. In addition, the necessary pressure can protect against uneven tire wear.

Gas stations sometimes make it possible to freely use a compressor, preferably an automatic one, since with its help you can bring the pressure to the required value, but after that you need to repeat the process using your own pressure gauge.

Thanks to nipple extensions, it is possible to inflate the wheels without first removing the caps, however, immediately before inflating, you need to check their condition for leaks or obstructions.

If you are planning a trip to a colder climate zone or you have not planned to pump up the pressure for some time in preparation for the trip, add 0.2 atm. higher than necessary. The guideline should be the pressure indicated by the car manufacturers, and not the maximum that is stamped on the tire. It is not advisable to inflate tires that have been used for quite some time to the maximum, in order to avoid their rupture. A tire torn on the way will immediately destroy all plans to reduce the consumption of the Niva.

2. Check the engine. From a properly running engine you can expect more power and at the same time less fuel consumption. Often, auto mechanics who do tuning put power at the forefront, which sometimes leads to faster engine wear. It is necessary to be more careful when choosing modifications.

3. What condition is your air filter in? If it is dirty, it can cause damage to the engine and increase fuel consumption. The greatest damage to the engine comes from traveling on dusty off-road conditions. Replacing the air filter is a procedure that can significantly improve the performance of a car engine, especially a turbocharged one.

4. It is possible to reduce the weight of the car. When choosing a new car, weight can become the main criterion, because it is the main reason for the loss of kinetic energy of the car, however, if your plans do not include buying a new one, then you need to make the old one extremely light.

For example, you can remove unused seats and empty the trunk of heavy items. By lightening the car by 50 kg, you reduce the Niva’s consumption by 1-2%. The weight of the car plays an important role, especially when driving on city streets, where you often have to brake and accelerate. However, when removing excess weight from the car, do not remove something important, because... if necessary, a trip to pick up an abandoned item will wipe out all fuel savings.

6. When choosing tires, give preference to the narrowest ones, but still appropriate for your driving style. This is the essence of saving fuel. But there is also a disadvantage to using narrow tires due to less grip on the road surface. That is why sports cars still have wide tires.

Do not use tires narrower than the design suggests. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel size. Only in accordance with the instructions!

7. When choosing rubber, focus on tires with low rolling resistance. This reduces Niva consumption by 1.5% - 2.0%.

8. On cars with an injection engine, it is necessary to check the condition of the mass air flow sensor (MAF) and the lambda probe. If one or another device malfunctions, the “check engine” light turns on.

When the mass air flow sensor fails, an over-enriched mixture enters the engine, which can cause excessive fuel consumption to increase by 20% or more.

Option 2 of 4: Saving fuel

1. When refueling a car, do not fill the tank to the top. It is advisable that it be filled between half and quarter tank. And driving on an empty tank is very harmful to your car. The first thing that suffers is the fuel pump. And keep in mind, a tank filled with 60 liters increases the weight of the car by 45 kg.

2. When changing oil, give preference to synthetic, using additives. This reduces Niva consumption by approximately 15% (subject to the requirements of the instructions). Thanks to additives, the viscosity of the oil is stabilized, making engine operation smoother, because the lubrication process involves the entire volume of oil, and not part of it.

3. When choosing fuel, give preference to the best. Do not mix different types of fuel in one tank. Using cheaper gasoline allows you to save money, and the fact that cheap gasoline contains a large amount of ethanol indicates a significant overconsumption of fuel. As an experiment, you can fill up with the same amount of gas, determine which distance you can cover, and what is generally best for your car.

4. The use of synthetic oils will make it possible fuel economy approx. by 5%. You should not ignore the planned replacement, this is fraught with excessive fuel consumption and damage to the engine. If for some reason you cannot use synthetic oil, then purchase the lightest one. For example, 5W-30 will have a greater effect than 15W-50. Watch how the engine behaves while driving. Sometimes engines running on synthetic oil run harder.

5. A significant increase in Niva consumption was noticed when using an air conditioner within the city. However, when driving on the highway in a car with air conditioning, fuel economy will be greater than with the windows open.

The air resistance when driving with the windows open is higher than the power consumed when using the air conditioning.

6. A visual assessment of fuel consumption can be given by knowing how loaded the vehicle is. Using air conditioning, sudden and frequent increases in speed, and traveling at high speeds have a serious impact on fuel consumption, but these are not the main indicators. Pay attention to engine speed. It's like monitoring your pulse by assessing your heart function.

By tracking the revolutions, decide at what better engine performance. Engine speed above 3000 indicates a low gear. It is necessary to switch it and move at a higher speed, but at low speeds. Driving at medium speeds determines the Niva's consumption.

How to control engine speed? The dashboard of many cars is equipped with a device called a tachometer. Thanks to the tachometer, you can determine the engine speed at any time. The tachometer readings are reduced by 1 thousand times, i.e. if the arrow is against the number 3, then the engine operation is estimated at 3000 rpm.

The engine operates most efficiently in the range from 2000 to 3000, but in order to reduce fuel consumption, you should not cross the 2000 mark. You can only drive at engine speeds of more than 2700 when driving at top speed. This way you can travel around the city at a speed of 50-60 km/h and 105 km/h on the highway without fines.

Option 3 of 4: Driver Habits

1. Use cruise control driving technique. This often helps save fuel while maintaining a constant speed.

2. Don't rush. As the speed increases, the resistance of the oncoming air flow also increases. When driving at high speed fuel consumption increases up to 30%. At a speed not exceeding 60 km/h, the effect of air resistance on fuel consumption is practically non-existent, and at higher speeds it becomes more significant.

3. Sharp accelerations are very harmful. Internal combustion engines have an optimal operating mode at 2000-3000 rpm, and the greatest power develops at 5000-6000 rpm. When the engine reaches the required speed, you need to switch to the next gear using a manual gearbox.

For example, to accelerate a car to 50 km/h, you turn on the first, accelerate on the second, and then, skipping the third, turn on the fourth or fifth, provided the engine maintains speed. But you need to remember that when you press the gas pedal in fifth gear at low speed, there will be no acceleration. In this case, you can go to a lower gear.

4. Try to brake as little as possible, because for subsequent acceleration you will use up fuel that could be saved. Carefully monitor the operation of traffic lights to avoid unnecessary acceleration.

5. You should not warm up the car while idling. It is better to do this by starting slowly, avoiding jerky accelerations until the engine reaches the required temperature.

6. Decide on the optimal speed in relation to the amount of fuel consumed. Often this is 80 km/h. Optimal speed involves minimum speed in maximum gear. For example, the optimal speed Jeep Cherokees - 90 km/h, and Toyota 4Runners - 80 km/h. Determine the optimal speed of your car, try to stick to this speed when traveling.

7. Some cars are equipped with gearboxes that have an “overdrive” function. If your car is one of those equipped with this device, turn it on in a timely manner. In some cases, turning it on is inappropriate, for example, when towing a large load. The “overdrive” function is considered to be turned on by default when the gearbox lever is in the “D” position. In some cars, this function is turned off with a button. But it can turn off when the engine brakes while moving down, or, conversely, when going up. This feature contributes to slight fuel savings by allowing you to maintain speed at low engine speeds.

8. Observe carefully at work of traffic lights. Sharp acceleration and braking do not have the best effect on the Niva’s consumption. You shouldn’t circle around the parking lot for a long time, burning fuel, to choose a more convenient place. You have to accept that the most convenient seats are always occupied.

9. Maintaining a safe distance is very important. Driving at a short distance forces you to brake and accelerate much more often than driving 20 meters at the same speed. You will gain time for braking at traffic lights, you will have to brake significantly less in connection with the car in front, and you will also have the opportunity to maneuver.

10. Long-term heating has an adverse effect on Niva consumption. In the cold season to warm up the engine 30 seconds is enough. During this time, the engine is already sufficiently lubricated for safe operation. If you stop for more than 10 seconds, turn it off. This will also help save fuel. But keep in mind that if you start the engine frequently, you will damage the starter.

11. Decide on the gear that is most suitable for uniform movement. When driving lightly on the highway, you can resort to the highest gear. Listen carefully to the operation of the engine, since driving in a high gear is fraught with malfunctions in insufficiently powerful engines. Some manufacturers offer various versions of the gear ratio in the gearbox.

Option 4 of 4: How to plan a trip?

1. The trip must be planned in advance. Decide on a list of places you need to visit, plan a route so that you don’t have to circle around the city in vain, burning fuel.

2. Carefully thinking through the route will help significantly save fuel. Be sure to take into account traffic jams and traffic lights. Give preference to wide avenues rather than narrow streets with traffic jams.

3. It doesn't hurt to keep a record of how far you've covered each . The ratio of the amount of gasoline (in liters) obtained at a gas station to the number of kilometers traveled write it in a notepad. When comparing the results, it will become clear to you whether the Niva’s consumption is decreasing or increasing, whether your car is in good condition and whether there is enough water in your tank.

Driving style greatly affects the Niva's consumption. Drive your car as calmly as possible. The difference will be obvious.

The auto frame located at the top should be removed (in case of non-use). You can park halfway between your destinations. This way you will save fuel and take a walk in the fresh air.

To burn off soot deposited in the engine, it is advisable every week travel at higher speeds. The most suitable place for this is the track, where you can accelerate and overtake to your advantage.

In some cars, the automatic transmission is limited to the highest gear, fourth. Some drivers turn it on bypassing the “D” position, but this is incorrect; this approach does not contribute to fuel economy.

Avoid traveling during rush hour. This saves not only fuel, but also the nervous system.

With a manual transmission, fuel savings are greater because it takes approximately 15% engine power (with automatic – 20%) and increases the Niva’s consumption by the same amount.

Ballast in the trunk is only relevant in winter (it improves traction), but at other times of the year you need to get rid of it.

During any relatively long stop (queuing at a gas station, at a cafe window), you should turn off the engine.

The use of aerodynamic body kits does not have the best effect on the Niva’s consumption. In addition, body kits and spoilers have not so much an aerodynamic effect as an external one. When securing cargo to the roof rack on top of the vehicle, place it with the smaller side facing forward. This reduces air resistance.

Warnings

Always maintain the required distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front. If there is an obstacle and sudden braking, a collision may become inevitable.

Driving too slowly can also create an emergency situation. When driving on a motorway, you must pay attention to the minimum speed limit. If you do not adhere to it, i.e. if the speed of your car is below the flow, you should have it turned on alarm.

Some manufacturers are forced to waive warranties when the use of fuel and oil additives becomes known.

Availability chip tuning and other modifications to the car may also void the warranty and may also cause your car's engine to malfunction.

Do not believe charlatans and their reviews about a significant reduction in Niva consumption due to the use of miracle cures. Old scams return from time to time in an updated form, becoming a temptation for young and inexperienced drivers.

Real reviews from owners about fuel consumption on the VAZ 2121 Niva:

1.7 manual transmission petrol

If you want, check it out for yourself, but I personally noted for myself that this is a very economical car. In the city on 92 gasoline it is only 11 liters per hundred. This indicator is valid in the absence of traffic jams. If there is snow outside and the temperature drops to 20 below zero, then in this case it may increase by 4 liters for the injection Niva 2121.

For a device in the domestic automotive industry under the glorious name of the VAZ 2121, fuel consumption is very impressive - 13.5 liters in city traffic jams and 10 liters on a dry highway at a speed of no more than 100 km/h. I note that fuel consumption on the highway does not hurt your pocket. At least my wife is happy with the purchase, even though she doesn’t know much about cars.

Every weekend I go to the dacha in the neighboring village in my injection Niva 2121. Half the way is in the city. Its fuel consumption is about 12 liters per 100 km, so I am pleased with my purchase. I think that off-road and in the city, the gas consumption of the Niva is the same.

Niva 2121 injector and its fuel consumption

14 liters per hundred kilometers in urban conditions - fuel consumption is low for the VAZ 2121. Even taking into account traffic jams and hour-long downtime, gasoline consumption is extremely low.

The gluttonous development of domestic production was very disappointing. Just imagine - 13 liters of fuel consumption for the Niva 2121 is very high. The city will empty our pockets. As a result, it turns out that if the car continues to eat gasoline in buckets, it will not pay for itself soon, so here’s the injector.

I am an experienced hunter. I like to climb into such wilds where game is not shot due to inaccessibility. I bought myself an injector Niva and was taken aback - it consumes up to 16 liters off-road. It's not a cheap pleasure. It’s sad if you can’t even shoot a bunny. The entire journey, taking into account fuel consumption, is quite expensive due to excessive gluttony (12 liters). I'm starting to regret it.

VAZ 21214 Niva, 5 years operating experience

1.7 manual transmission petrol

The only disappointment with the purchase is the rather small fuel tank. I specifically checked the fuel consumption on the highway - up to 9 liters per 100 km, and I did not drop the speed below 100. It turns out that on long trips in a VAZ 2121, refueling is enough for 400 kilometers. My relatives live far away, and I often go out into nature. You will have to put an additional tank in the trunk; with these “refueling” parameters you can even go to America. I like to go fishing with my friends. Considering the fuel consumption on the highway, we spend very little.

In fifth gear it consumes only 8 liters per hundred. I never drive above 100 km/h. It is in fuel consumption that the beauty of an injection engine is revealed. I am more than satisfied with the purchase. Many people complain about excessive gas consumption, but I sincerely do not understand them.

Yes, our cars don’t know how to make: Gaps between parts of the car, rapid wear of components. The engine capacity is small, but the car's appetite is too great for the carburetor version. Just think - 14 liters of fuel consumption in the city. What kind of consumption can there be in winter then?

Fuel consumption on Niva 2121 carburetor

14-liter fuel consumption on the highway is the height of indecency for a VAZ 2121. You can argue with me, of course, but I’m confident in the numbers. You won't go far with that kind of fuel consumption. Only now I realized that I should have used an injector instead of a carburetor...

The mixed cycle consumes 12 liters. Dissatisfied. Until I drove 2,000 km, the car’s fuel consumption was generally 14.5 liters. “Niva’s” appetite is indescribable.

It’s winter outside and you can save up money for the next repair, but with my “mutant” this is impossible. It spends 22 liters when driving through a snowy city. So you can become bankrupt. And with mileage, fuel consumption will only increase, I think. In general, I do not recommend taking the carburetor version. What fuel consumption is considered normal for Niva 2121? Who knows?

If you believe the passport data, in the city the fuel consumption of a car should be strictly 12 liters per 100 km. But who will believe this data? What's the point of them? I checked. Its gluttony indicator exceeds the indicated one by as much as 2 liters.

Niva Chevrolet- a popular domestic SUV, deservedly loved by car owners not only in our country, but also far beyond its borders. Often its owners are interested in what the consumption standards and actual fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Niva are? The answer to this question will be given in our article.

Modifications

Niva Chevrolet (212300 - 55) first came off the assembly line back in 2002 year and immediately gained popularity among drivers, thanks to its good cross-country ability, powerful engine, reliability and low maintenance costs.

Throughout its history, the car has experienced only one restyling in 2009 year, as a result of which the new Niva acquired a modern appearance.

Niva Chevrolet 1.7 l

The heart of the Chevy Niva is a four-cylinder petrol VAZ-2123 engine domestic production, developed on the basis of the VAZ-21214 injector back in the 90s of the last century.

Specifications engine VAZ-2123:

volume - 1.7 liters
power - 80 hp
torque - 127.5 Nm (at 4000 rpm)
maximum speed - 140 km/h
Acceleration time to 100 km - 19 seconds

The engine was updated and improved several times, was modified and transferred by designers from the Euro-2 environmental standard to modern standards euro-5.

From the end 2015 all cars are produced only with a class engine euro-5.

Niva Chevrolet 1.8 l

During the period of production of pre-restyling cars, a limited edition Niva was produced FAM-1 (VAZ-21236) from 2006 to 2008. The Niva was equipped with an Opel engine of the brand Z18XE volume 1,8 liters

Its technical data was superior to the VAZ engine:

volume - 1.8 liters
power - 122 hp
torque - 167 Nm (at 3800 rpm)
maximum speed - 165 km/h
acceleration time to 100 km - 12 sec

The cost of the Chevy Niva in this configuration was much higher, so it was not in great demand, and in less than two years it was withdrawn from the market. However, such fields still travel safely on the roads of the country.

Fuel consumption

One of the most discussed topics among car owners is: what is the fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Niva? Let's figure it out. Consumption depends on many parameters, both on the characteristics of the car itself and on its operating conditions. Each specific car will always have its own, but there are fuel consumption standards set by the manufacturer. They are presented below, per 100 km.

Consumption of Chevrolet Niva 1.7 l Euro-2

urban mode – 10.8 l
consumption on the highway (5th gear, speed 90 km/h – 8.6 l
highway consumption (5th gear, speed 120 km/h) – 11.6 l

Consumption of Chevrolet Niva 1.7 l Euro-5

urban mode – 14.1 l
highway consumption - 8.8 l
average consumption - 10.2 l

Interestingly, the updated engine with the Euro-5 environmental standard has increased fuel consumption, but its power has remained unchanged.

Consumption of Chevrolet Niva 1.8 l

city mode - 12.7 l
highway consumption - 10.4 l
average consumption - 8 l

How to reduce fuel consumption

If you think that your car has high gas mileage, you can try to reduce it using in the following ways:

adhere to a calm, non-aggressive driving style;
change fuel and air filters on time;
monitor the tire pressure (optimally 2.1 - 2.2 atmospheres);
use high-quality motor oil and good gasoline;
monitor the technical condition of the car, especially its brake system;
do not carry extra cargo in the car that makes the car heavier;
Warm up the engine in cold weather.

Owner reviews

In most cases, the fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Niva is close to the standards stated by the manufacturer, as they say

VAZ 2121- Soviet, and now Russian off-road vehicle. The car is always equipped with permanent all-wheel drive. Production began in 1977 and continues to this day without any restyling or generation changes. Niva 2121 is very popular abroad, thanks to its cross-country ability and reliability.

Official data (l/100 km)

Engine	Consumption (city)	Consumption (highway)	Flow (mixed)
1.6 MT 73 hp (Mechanics)	13.4	7.8	9.8
1.6 MT 75 hp (Mechanics)	13.4	7.8	9.8
1.7 MT 79 hp (Mechanics)	11.5	8.3	9.1
1.7 MT 80 hp (Mechanics)	13.5	10.8	11.8
1.7 MT 83 hp (Mechanics)	11.2	8.3	9.7
1.9 MT 75 hp diesel (Mechanics)	11.7	7.6	9.8

The main engine that is equipped with the Lada 2121 has a volume of 1.7 liters. It produces 83 horsepower. The injector is responsible for supplying fuel. Fuel consumption per 100 km for this version is 11.3 liters in the city and 8.4 liters on the highway.

Another engine is 1.6 liters. Its peak power is 73 horsepower, however, the carburetor is responsible for the fuel here. Gasoline consumption is at 10.1 liters. There is also a diesel engine that can produce 75 horsepower and consume 9.9 liters of fuel. The gearbox is a standard VAZ five-speed manual.

Owner reviews

“I work in the field of repair and construction, so I need a car that can drive everywhere, and also that can be loaded quite lightly. Niva fit all my requirements perfectly. An indestructible car that can overcome any obstacles on the road. I actively use it almost every day, driving many kilometers. It is poorly equipped, but the main thing for me is that there is air conditioning, without it we would be in trouble. The engine has little power, but the traction is good, which is why it drives cheerfully. The only drawback of the engine is its very high consumption. In the city it can reach a value of 14 liters, and if the air conditioning is turned on, then all 16. On the highway it’s a little better - 9, but also too much for such a small engine,” this was the review left by Grigory from Krasnodar.

“I took the Niva for a trip to the dacha, since there is a house there, and not every car can drive to that area. I was thinking between the UAZ and the Niva, but chose the second one because it looks much nicer, and the equipment is better, and costs less. The car is a real workhorse that never lets you down and drives equally well both on a flat road and off-road. The suspension is stiff, long travel, high ground clearance - all this provides better cross-country ability. The salon is large, you can load all the things and building materials. Everything was done poorly, but with high quality, nothing began to crack or creak after several years of driving. The engine is rather weak for the highway, but performs well in the city. I note that the car’s consumption is higher than stated in the passport. My norm is about 13 liters, but sometimes it reaches 14,” Vladimir from St. Petersburg wrote about the car.

“My grandfather drove this car for a very long time. They gave it to him in 1980, and to this day he has kept it in almost perfect condition. He regularly carried out inspections, changed what was broken and consumables. Now I got it, and I’m trying to continue the work my grandfather started. I drive carefully, try not to speed too much, I always wash it and clean the interior. As a result, the car does not break down or fail at all. Of course, now you can cheaply buy a car that will be much more comfortable and beautiful than the Niva. But they do not have such unreal cross-country ability. You can drive absolutely everywhere, even though the engine is not powerful, but the chassis is made in such a way that it doesn’t matter at all. I often go fishing and just relax in nature, so this feature of the car is very important for me. But there is also a noticeable drawback that spoils the feeling of the car. This is a consumption that can easily reach 14 liters, although the passport says something completely different,” these are the words about Evgeniy’s Niva from Yekaterinburg.

“I bought the car ten years ago based on an advertisement. My relatives bought a plot of land in the countryside, and I had to go help build a house and arrange a garden. I was sorry to use my foreign car for this, so I decided to buy something more suitable. The house was built a long time ago, and I still use the Niva to do various jobs that require power and cross-country ability, which modern cars do not have. I think this is the best Russian car ever built. It is capable of performing any task, even in the most difficult conditions. Yes, it is not equipped with the latest technology, but this is not why the car is popular. It consumes a lot of fuel, which is not typical for such engines. I spend about 13 liters of gasoline. With a working air conditioner or stove, you get even more,” wrote Nikolai from Voronezh.

“I bought the car not because it has excellent cross-country ability, but simply for the soul. I like the look of it and the fact that it has a lot of space, although you wouldn't know it at first glance. My whole family fits comfortably in the car, and there is still plenty of room for the things we take with us on long trips. On the highway the car accelerates briskly and maintains speed well. The handling is excellent even on difficult sections of the road. And yes, the cross-country ability here is really excellent. I specially went off-road to test it, and the car passed all tests without problems. The only drawback that I discovered while using the model is the high gas consumption. I’ve never had less than 14 liters,” this is a review from Alexey from Novorossiysk.

“I’m planning to get into off-road gongs. I bought a Niva especially for this, because it’s not bad in itself, but if it’s modified, it’ll be a bomb. All parts are quite cheap and easy to find. I also plan to take care of the interior so that I can move around the city comfortably, since I have the only car, and I need to get work done. It looks quite nice, but I plan to make various body kits. I like that the car is short, this will also have a good effect on overcoming obstacles on the road. The stock engine is weak, suitable only for normal city driving, and takes a long time to pick up speed on the highway. And its main disadvantage is high fuel consumption. My engine usually consumes up to 15 liters in the city,” this review was left by Valery from Petrozavodsk.

Due to rising prices for gasoline and diesel fuel, today those cars that consume less fuel are in greater esteem. One of these cars is Niva. R The fuel consumption of the Niva 2131 per 100 km in almost all possible configurations does not exceed 15 liters. By modern standards, this figure may seem high, but the car is capable of driving at such a fuel consumption even over rough terrain, off-road, where most other cars use twice as much fuel as normal. The mixed fuel cycle plays an important role here.

Probably because the Niva 2131 is almost an all-terrain vehicle, it is very popular among fishermen and hunters. Of the older models, compared, for example, with the UAZ, the Niva has very good gas mileage in different conditions. You can clarify these data in the table, which shows data on fuel consumption of the VAZ 2131.

Technical functionality

The technical characteristics of the VAZ 2131 in terms of fuel consumption are as follows - the volume of fuel used is measured in several locations. There are three standard modes, which provide factory data on the fuel consumption of the machine. For the model under consideration, there are the following technical characteristics:

City mode for the Niva 2131 five-door model (engine 1800, injector) is the most energy-intensive. Although in general, fuel consumption on the Niva 2131 injector is quite acceptable for trips outside the city.

Features of model consumption

5 door Niva fuel consumption on a 1700 injector - this model has a slightly different, more gentle mode:

Ways to reduce fuel consumption

Gasoline prices rise every year, and completely giving up a car is not beneficial for anyone. We love comfort, and our own car can provide us with this. To get through difficult times, you can use some tried and tested tips on how to reduce the level of gasoline consumption on a VAZ 2131 injector.

Basic methods

The actual fuel consumption of the Niva 2131 can be reduced due to the weight of the car. You can get rid of unnecessary parts of the vase, which provide comfort, but take away gasoline. Driving style is an important factor influencing the engine's use of gasoline: the more extreme, harsh driving style, the more fuel will be consumed. Change your driving style to a more relaxed one, and you will pay less for gasoline in the face of rising prices.

Installing an injector is the most effective way to reduce fuel consumption, the only problem is that if the injector is already installed, the situation will not change. Gasoline consumption on a Niva leads to the data indicated above, that is, without them, the Niva will “eat up” much more fuel.

What else can you win?

The more revolutions are made, the more fuel the car consumes; VAZ 2131 gasoline consumption per 100 km can be reduced if you drive at lower speeds. At the same time, on our roads low speeds can be dangerous, the best way out of this situation is to start driving smoothly and slowly reach medium speeds, and then move like that, this does not mean that you need to drive at a speed of 40 km/h - just you need to do everything in moderation.

It is better not to use an automatic transmission if you want to reduce gasoline consumption standards; mechanized control allows you to control the gasoline in the tank, so it is better to use a manual transmission.

Problems and solution

It may surprise you, but even open windows increase fuel consumption, especially in city conditions. It’s quite simple to explain: the aerodynamic properties of the car are somewhat reduced, which is why the air resistance in the Niva’s cabin increases, as a result of which the need for fuel is much greater.

The mechanics inside the cabin absorb some of the fuel from the fuel tank, for example, the air conditioner is powered directly from the Niva engine, and electrical equipment (for example, a radio) is powered by a battery connected to the engine, which also increases fuel consumption; avoid music on the road or the air conditioner , and you will pay less for fuel.

There is another simple algorithm:

reducing the friction force in the engine will reduce fuel consumption;
this is not difficult to do: you just need to regularly lubricate the parts with engine oil;
