“Why Is My Tiggo 8 Pro Guzzling Petrol After Just a Month — Is the Engine Really That Thirsty?”

Some owners find that after only a few weeks of driving, their fuel consumption seems much worse than what was promised. Even with mostly city driving, they feel the SUV is “hungry.” Is this normal for Tiggo 8 Pro’s turbo‑petrol engine in Pakistan’s traffic, o r could there be a tune‑up, maintenance o r driving‑style issue making fuel economy so poor?

The Tiggo 8 Pro’s 1.6‑liter turbo petrol engine is relatively efficient on highways but can feel thirsty in city traffic. Common reasons for poor mileage include:

Stop‑and‑go traffic: Frequent idling and acceleration reduce fuel efficiency.

Driving style: Aggressive acceleration, hard braking, o r keeping the RPM high lowers mileage.

Tyre pressure: Underinflated tyres increase rolling resistance and fuel use.

Vehicle load: Extra passengers o r luggage also reduce efficiency.

Early break-in period: New engines may take a few thousand km to reach optimal efficiency.

Tips to improve:

Maintain recommended tyre pressure.

Use smooth acceleration and braking.

Avoid overloading the car.

Drive on highways where possible — turbo engines are more efficient at steady speeds.
