Does a New Car Save Fuel After the Break-in Period?

[VanChloe]

After the break-in period of a new car, the fuel consumption will decrease, but the reduction won't be significant. The specific fuel consumption depends on the vehicle model. Below is some information about car fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption levels: Generally, for household economical cars, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is approximately 5L for 1.0L engines, 7L for 1.3L, 10L for 1.6L, and 12L for 2.0L engines. However, fuel consumption is a complex factor influenced by the car's performance, road conditions, and the driver's skills. 2. Methods to save fuel: The engine's temperature directly affects fuel efficiency. Both excessively high and low temperatures will increase fuel consumption. The engine's operating water temperature should be maintained between 80°C and 90°C. Preheating the engine during cold starts can significantly save fuel. 3. Regular maintenance: The intake system must be kept clean and unobstructed. The air filter should be frequently cleaned, the tightness of all connecting belts should be appropriate, tire pressure should not be too low, and brake shoe gaps should be regularly adjusted to avoid friction.
