parkarnoor Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 my Chevrolet cruze LT 2013 fuel consumption is outrageous. I have completed around 2000KM and on full tank it is giving 350KM only. I have 60lt fuel tank. leaving reserve I do full fuel tank , it takes 52 lt, and 350KM. which is not good. as per specification , it is saying 7.8lt/100KM. it is taking 14 lt/100KM. I tried to call customer care, they said drive up to 1 service (5000KM) and new engine will take some time due to engine braking system. what do you think?

Shabir Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Service advisor talk of engine braking system is partly right and not quite fully as braking period is until 1000 kms and not 2000kms secondly braking have effect on wear and tear of engine internal components and not as such on fuel mileage. Thirdly if you make noise they might have to return car to new one. And after 5000kms they are more easier to wash off their hands. Go and make big scene at service center and ask them to show you another new car giving pathetic mileage instead of selling crap and not doing through check. You insist on changing to another new car, then they will fix this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
