Will Fuel Consumption Decrease After the First Car Maintenance?
1 Answers
Fuel consumption may not necessarily decrease after the first car maintenance. Generally, there might be some changes in fuel consumption after the first maintenance—it could either decrease or increase. Since the components inside the engine have fully broken in after the running-in period of a new car, fuel consumption might decrease slightly. Below are some additional tips on how to drive fuel-efficiently during the car's running-in period: 1. Generally, keep the engine speed below 3,000 RPM, or below 3,500 RPM for automatic transmissions. 2. Avoid maintaining a single gear for too long or driving at low speeds for extended periods. 3. Do not overload the vehicle. 4. Avoid driving for excessively long durations.
