Line is terribly slow and the line couldn't load the link properly. So it pretty much says that there's higher fuel consumption for new cars?
*
Generally for the first 500-1000 miles new engines are tight and will use a bit more fuel. You will see that the maker tells you not to exceed certain revs until the engine has bedded in. Years ago older engines had to be carefully run in up to max speeds for mileage covered. Nowadays the makers suggest not hammering the engine for a certain mileage, but generally say up to 70 from new is OK. as for manufacturers fuel consumption figures you will find it hard to achieve their claims unless you have a very light right foot on the pedal smile.gif
