How long does it take for a new car's fuel consumption to decrease?
1 Answers
New cars typically reach their normal fuel consumption levels after driving approximately 3,000 kilometers. Generally, fuel consumption begins to decrease after the initial 1,000-kilometer break-in period. Here are the relevant details: Reasons: The components of a new car fit together more tightly, preventing the engine from fully utilizing its power, which ultimately results in higher fuel consumption. If the car is frequently driven at low speeds in urban areas, it will inevitably exhibit higher fuel consumption. Other factors influencing fuel consumption include driving conditions, driving habits, vehicle maintenance, and load capacity. Additional information: After a cold start, it's advisable to let the engine warm up until the water temperature changes before driving. Additionally, it's best to limit the load to no more than 70% of the vehicle's specified capacity.
