Car newbie

Dear All,

I have recently bought my first car, I have recently started noticing
possible problems (no past experience to compare with)

1) Having a 1.3ltr engine of course it will have low accelaration,
how can I tell if it lower than it should be?

2) On the fuel gauge what is the fuel capacity when it says full?

3) When the low fuel light comes on, how many litres of reserve do I have?

4) When I am changing gears it is sometimes hard to select gears?

5) A friend told me if I add fuel additives to clean the engine, it could actually
damage the engine?


THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS CRY FOR ASSISTANCE

Regards,
