Car sucking gas all of a sudden?

Question

I have an 05 Chevy Equinox that is all of a sudden sucking gas. I haven't noticed any other problems...oil has recently been changed, tires inflated, not running AC or doing anything else out of the ordinary. Any ideas??

Answer 1

this is usually caused because of a dirty air filter,simply put ,the engine is suffocating,this causes excess gas use age,also check the grade of gas your using,this can sometimes make a difference too,a good filter to put in it is a k&n,they help increas mileage and performance.

Answer 2

Also, have your fuel injectors checked. Sometimes, dirty injectors can result in poor gas mileage. Usually this happens in autos that have more than 50k miles. If anything else, do a little research on what type of gas you're using and check to see if any recalls have been made on the Equinox that might be directly related to fuel problems.

Answer 3

That Happens More In The Summer Time. Because You Are Useing Your Air Conditioner.

Answer 4

It might need new spark plugs or if you recently started putting gas with ethanol in it this could also be the problem. If the car has a lot of miles on it (120,000 +) it could be getting wore out or need the valves adjusted.

Answer 5

Check your O2 censor. It mixes oxygen with your gas and if it isn't good then your gas mileage will go down the tubes.

Answer 6

maybe gas line leak or fuel pump leakin unless u got fuel injection may need cleaned

Answer 7

Check your air filter, if it is clogged you will consume more gas.

Good Luck
