Polttoaineenkuluttava

Polttoaineenkuluttava is a Finnish term that translates to "fuel-consuming" or "fuel-guzzling" in English. It is typically used to describe vehicles, machinery, or any device that requires a significant amount of fuel to operate. The term carries a connotation of inefficiency or high operational cost due to the fuel expenditure.

Vehicles that are considered polttoaineenkuluttava often have larger engines, are heavier, or are designed for high performance rather than fuel economy. This can include older model cars, large trucks, buses, and certain types of recreational vehicles. In the context of machinery, a polttoaineenkuluttava engine might be found in industrial equipment, construction vehicles, or agricultural machinery where power output is prioritized over fuel efficiency.

The environmental impact of polttoaineenkuluttava devices is also a significant consideration. Higher fuel consumption generally leads to increased emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. As a result, there is a growing trend towards developing and utilizing more fuel-efficient technologies and alternative energy sources to reduce reliance on traditional fuels and mitigate their environmental consequences. The term polttoaineenkuluttava is therefore often contrasted with terms like "polttoainetaloudellinen" (fuel-efficient).
