Is the fuel consumption high for a new car?

[VonAmy]

For a new car that hasn't gone through the break-in period, the fuel consumption may be slightly higher. However, this also depends on individual driving habits and road conditions. Reasons for high fuel consumption in new cars: For a newly purchased car, since the various components of the engine have not been fully broken in, the gaps between parts are relatively small, and the engine's running resistance is higher compared to a broken-in car. Therefore, it's advisable to patiently go through the break-in period and observe if there are any changes in fuel consumption after the first maintenance. If the fuel consumption after the break-in period is higher than before, it might be due to dirty fuel injectors and throttle body not being cleaned in time. Normal fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for new cars: Approximately 4-6 liters for 1.0L, 5-7 liters for 1.3L, 7-8 liters for 1.5L, and 7-9 liters for 1.6L. However, fuel consumption is a complex factor that also depends on the car's performance, road conditions, and the driver's skill.
