Are New Cars Fuel-Efficient or Fuel-Consuming?

[KeeganLee]

During the break-in period of a new car, it may consume more fuel. Break-in period precautions: During the break-in period of a new car, prolonged continuous driving should be avoided to prevent excessive working hours of the engine and chassis components, which would increase wear and directly affect their service life. The vehicle should also avoid operating at full load; typically, within the first 1,000 kilometers, it's best to keep the load below 80% of the rated capacity. Additionally, try to avoid high-speed driving. Within the first 2,000 kilometers, full-throttle speed should not exceed 70% of the maximum speed. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: The longer the idle time when parked, the greater the fuel consumption, so minimize idle parking time. Avoid rapid acceleration, slamming on the throttle, and driving at low RPMs. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, as well as load capacity, ambient temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on, all have an impact.
