Low Average KM/L

[irtaza.j]

I recently bought a prius s led 2011.
It is only driven 49000km. The day I bought the car it was giving about 17/18 km/l but now it (after 12 days) it gives only 14km/l. What could be the matter?
I am driving on ECO and with a light foot.

Try to drive the car in normal mode (Without pressing any of the 3 modes button) and try the guide or pulse method. I can see you average speed is 15km/h which I think is very low.

ECO isnt the most fuel efficient driving technique by default

Drivers Mood Matters Much More Than Driving Mode.

Assalamualikum Brother. For any normal car (non hybrid) I would suggest changing all fluids and oils, get engine tuning done with throttle body service, brakes serviced, change all filters like fuel,oil,air,etc. Also add 1/4 HOBC (any) on 1st time refill after all this work is done. If all else fails get it checked electronically from Company/Franchise. Jazakallah.

Although not directly connected but get tyres aligned and balanced.
