Dear Friends,
I bought a 2nd hand Kia Cerato HB 1.6A recently.
The fuel consumption seems a bit too high...
A full tank last about 360km,equates to around 7 km/litre of petrol...
What could be the prob?

Cant be so high your cerato when full tank (55L) can go at least 600km. Do a thorough check maybe there is a fuel leakage somewhere. Others like big rim size and low tyre pressure or unncessary cargo weight at boot or heavy foot can also play a part.

I believe for auto V2 is around 9-11km/litres.
Have you change Engine Oil?
Your right foot also need to factor in.
For my Auto V2 using comparison of stock 16" rims I drive - 9-10km/l My wife drive 10-11km/l
