Why am I experiencing a decrease in fuel efficiency in my Kia Niro?

I purchased my Kia Niro a few months ago and it initially had very good fuel efficiency. However, I've noticed that in the past couple of weeks, it seems to be using more gas than usual. What could be causing this and what can I do to improve my fuel efficiency?

Hi Maria, has your driving habits changed recently? Aggressive driving, excessive idling, and frequent short trips can all contribute to a decrease in fuel efficiency.

Another factor to consider is the condition of your tires. Make sure they are properly inflated and aligned. This can greatly impact your fuel efficiency.

Have you noticed any warning lights or unusual engine noises? It's possible that there could be an issue with your engine or fuel system that is affecting your fuel efficiency.

Lastly, make sure you are using the recommended grade of gasoline for your Kia Niro. Using a lower grade can also result in decreased fuel efficiency.
