As a long-time owner of a 2011 Kia Forte, I've noticed this car's fuel consumption is quite sensitive. My average combined fuel economy is around 9-10L/100km. On highways, it easily drops to 7-8L, but can spike to 12L in heavy traffic. When the engine was newer right after purchase, the fuel efficiency was slightly better. After five years of driving, the consumption has increased a bit mainly due to carbon buildup in the engine. I'm quite meticulous about maintenance - changing oil every 5,000km and keeping tire pressure at recommended levels helps save some fuel. Driving habits are crucial too - avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking, gradual speed increase is better. Winter heating consumes extra fuel, and summer AC also affects mileage, especially on short trips when the engine doesn't warm up properly. Overall, this car's fuel efficiency is slightly above average - not very city-traffic-friendly, but remains a reliable daily driver with proper maintenance. Regular checks of air filters and spark plugs can prevent sudden fuel consumption spikes.
