Show answer

Correct answer

  • BEl circuito de encendido y el de alimentación.The ignition and fuel supply circuits.
Explanation

If a vehicle's fuel consumption increases, the ignition and fuel supply circuits must be checked. These systems are crucial for the engine to work properly and for fuel efficiency. Problems in the ignition, such as worn spark plugs or faulty leads, and in the fuel supply system, such as blocked fuel filters or dirty injectors, can increase fuel consumption.
