What is the average FC for your Latio?

[wilsonlim25]

Hi all,

Just curious abt your FC on your Latios.... What's the average FC u usually achieve? My latio premium normally gets about 10-11km/L.... But i'm surprised that some in the forum could achieve up to 16km/L..... Any modifications to your latio?

Any suggestions to increase FC is greatly welcomed! And yeah i'm trying to be light-footed as much as possible. Anyway is it true that you should try hitting 2500 RPM until reaching cruising speed? Been exploring various ways to improve FCs, but kinda out of luck on this.

PS: any where to repaint an entire boot? and at what cost? I've just got dried up bird poo eating away my wax and paint, and worried that the metal may rust over some time.... =( Any recommendations?

Latio 4AT at 10.2 - 10.5 (max) just sold my ride at 2.5yr recently ...hehe

I usually drive below or at 2000RPM. I can reach 15 to 16Km/l.
But 3 weeks ago, done my service at TC and use their EO, and now slightly drop to 13.5 to 14km/l. still monitoring.
Light foot do play a part and I think EO may affect FC too.

10) BC Coil, struct bar, underbraced and ARB. The rest all stock.

Achieved average 15km/l so far

Monitor the following for better mileage:

- tyre pressure (mine is 250 front and back)
- how heavy is your foot (I always aim rpm 2000-2200)
- extra weight (my car boot has nothing except spare tire and a few umbrellas)

Dont think EO will affect mileage. My 06' 2nd hand 4AT now at 75k mileage EO 5W50 average FC is 15km/l. Best is 16km/l.

thanks for the info. din know need to off the a/c. So if driving at high speed a/c must also keep low?
