All over my long driver career, I had 4 cars (5 years).

I always compare my fuel consumption with other people who have the same car. 3 times out of 4, I found out that my cars were consuming more fuel then others (I like buying car in poor condition since they cost nothing and I repair them).

So I think it might be interesting to list here what can cause a car to consume more fuel (not specific to a brand) as I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who wonder about that.

In my case, I actually drive a Saturn SL1 1998 which consume 12 liters per 100km which I find a lot for a 1.9 liters 4 cylinders...

I tought it might be :

• Fuel injector leak
• Old tire
• Not enought motor oil
• fuel line leak

But I checked all of this and it seems fine. I also changed my tire for winter's one and still the same consumption, any other idea ?

Also, it would be interesting when listing an Idea to describe how it can influence the fuel consumption and also if this could make a "noticeable" difference or not ?

Thanks.
