Do new cars consume more fuel initially?
1 Answers
New car fuel consumption generally depends on the vehicle model; there is no such thing as inherently high fuel consumption. This is because each driver operates in different road environments and faces varying levels of urban congestion. Many factors influence fuel consumption, including driving habits, road conditions, average speed, temperature, weather, etc. Developing good driving habits and necessary knowledge can certainly help reduce fuel consumption. Methods for car maintenance: 1. Smooth starts: Start smoothly, keep engine RPM below 2500, avoid sudden acceleration or hard braking. 2. Break-in period: Gradually adapt to your car during driving, find the optimal RPM for gear shifts, avoid driving at high RPM in low gears or low RPM in high gears. 3. Fuel quality: Pay attention to fuel quality; poor-quality fuel leads to incomplete combustion, which not only increases fuel consumption but also damages the engine. 4. Speed control: Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead in urban areas, and try to minimize frequent braking while ensuring safety.
