    Cause of high fuel consumption in Grand Carnival?

    Kia Kia Advice Kia Grand Carnival Kia Grand Carnival Advice Kia Grand Carnival 2010

    The fuel consumption of my 2010 Kia Grand Carnival V6 is poor; I only get about 500 km from a tankful. Any ideas of why it is so high?

    If you're using mostly it around town, as I suspect you are, the consumption is about what I would expect.

    Kia's own claims for fuel consumption for urban (city) use is 15.1L/100km, and the driving range is a little over 500km, smack on what you say you are getting.

    The average of combined urban (city) and extra-urban (country) is claimed by Kia to be 10.9L/100km.

    The bottom line is that it's a big blob of a vehicle with a relatively large engine doing the work, that's not a recipe for fuel low consumption.
