Is a Fuel Consumption of 17 L/100km Normal for a New Car?

[DiJessica]

New car fuel consumption of 17 L/100km is abnormal. Here are relevant precautions for new car usage: 1. Avoid overloading: Carrying excessive weight during the break-in period can damage mechanical components. As various power transmission parts haven't fully worn in yet, aggressive acceleration may cause irreversible damage. Therefore, new vehicles must adhere to the "slow and steady" principle during break-in. 2. Speed limits for new cars: Domestic vehicles generally 40~70 km/h, imported vehicles typically 100 km/h. When fully accelerating, speed should not exceed 80% of maximum velocity. The prescribed engine RPM during break-in is 2000~4000 rpm.
