Do New Cars Consume More Fuel?
1 Answers
New cars tend to have relatively higher fuel consumption. Below are the reasons why new cars consume more fuel: Reasons: During the break-in period, the large mechanical components in the car experience greater friction between parts, which requires more power to overcome. Bad Habits: Improper control of brake and accelerator pedals, sudden acceleration and braking while driving, maintaining one gear for too long or driving at low speeds for extended periods. All vehicles bear a heavier actual load at low speeds compared to medium speeds. Objective Factors: Frequent starting and braking in traffic jams increases fuel consumption; at high speeds, opening the sunroof or side windows significantly increases wind resistance. Greater resistance requires more power, which directly correlates with higher fuel consumption.
