Is the fuel consumption high for a new car?

[LeReese]

The fuel consumption during the break-in period will be relatively high. Here is the relevant information: 1. Break-in period: After the break-in period, the fuel consumption will not decrease significantly, generally only by 3%~5%, or about 1.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In practice, it should be analyzed differently according to different vehicle models. The fuel consumption during the break-in period is higher mainly because the various parts of a new car are relatively tight, and the components have not yet reached their optimal working state. When the car is running, it needs to output more "force," thus consuming more fuel. 2. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle traveling a certain speed on the road for 100 kilometers. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and calculated under specified speed conditions to obtain the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the vehicle model.
