Is the fuel consumption high for a newly purchased car?
1 Answers
Newly purchased cars generally have higher fuel consumption, which is common for almost every vehicle. When a car leaves the factory, due to machining precision of parts and assembly errors, it requires a certain mileage for running-in. During this break-in period, the car tends to consume more fuel, and you may feel a lack of power. Precautions for car break-in: Avoid overloading. During the break-in period, the load should not exceed 75% of the rated capacity. New cars should carry less than the specified weight and number of passengers, and overloading must be avoided. Do not drive at high speeds. There are speed limits for new cars during the break-in period. Generally, domestic cars should stay within 40~70 km/h, while imported cars should not exceed 100 km/h. Ensure the engine speed and vehicle speed operate at moderate levels. Typically, the engine speed during the break-in period should be between 2000~4000 rpm. Use high-quality gasoline. The gasoline used during the break-in period should not be of a lower grade than the manufacturer's specified standard. Do not add anti-wear additives, as this may result in insufficient break-in even after reaching the required mileage.
