How long does it take to determine the fuel consumption of a new car?

Generally, the break-in period is about 3,000 kilometers. After the break-in period, the fuel consumption will stabilize. How to calculate car fuel consumption: Fill up the car's gasoline tank completely and reset the odometer to zero. After driving for a period of time, refill the tank and note how many liters of gasoline are added. Then, divide the amount of gasoline added by the distance traveled to get the fuel consumption per kilometer. Reasons for high fuel consumption: The driver's skill level, improper gear shifting and excessive braking during driving can artificially increase engine power loss. Additionally, excessive braking will lead to more starts, as fuel consumption is very high during starting. Driving at low temperatures: cars require the engine to operate at normal temperatures. If the car is driven without preheating after starting, the engine will be in a low-temperature state, resulting in poor fuel atomization and incomplete combustion.
