[QUOTE="oscar, post: 165129, member: 2757"] haha, well dan it's still a new car and is still in it's initial 12.5k miles break in period. obviously the oil is degrading and will need changing but that will be happening soon so don't worry about that. the ICE engine relies on the best possible oil it can get to reduce friction, which in turn makes it more efficient (turn quicker without wearing, wear results in frictional loss) so the more the oil degrades the more frictional wear occurs and this will results in the engine needing a bit more fuel than normal to turn the engine normally. it's quite common really, after you have your 12.5k service the mpg will shoot right up and it will feel brand new again don't worry. i used to deal with people in the same situation as you all the time man lol [/QUOTE]
