Perodua Axia - Fuel Efficiency issues

[esd71]

Hi All, Please do share with me your thoughts on this issue I face.

I purchased a new Axia (G model) a few days ago. Probably have driven it for 70 kms or so. I filled in around 11 litres pertrol and there was 2 litre from the showroom.

However when i check the KM/Litre avergae it shows just 5.4km.

The advertising says 20.1 for an auto model. I understand it will be lower than that - but 5.4 is ridiculous.

Can you guys tell me if this number is because the car is new or is there a big mechanical issue with the car?

Much appreciated.

regards,
esd

new car will shows low, thus factory mentioned 20.1 actually you able to do it but you need to off your acc and drive like tortoise in highway not in town ya..

I think the result should calculated more accurate as from full tank.

If not mistaken, the program calculate the kilometer mileage clocked divided the fuel liter. This happen (calculation) when it detected your fuel cover cap got open.

Best to fill full, run, refill full, then divide your total mileage against your refill amount is most accurate.....

Your car hasn't even broken in yet. Break past the 1000km and quickly do your oil change then only measure your FC again.

New cars before first service mostly consume fuel more than average. However, the consumption will get better after first service.
