What is the average FC for your Latio?

[jovially]

remember to off a/c when clear carbon, if not shorten lifespan of compressor...

can you help me to understand what do you mean by clear carbon? thanks in advance.

[Enzoni]

clear carbon means to high rev for a while

aircon compressors nowadays are very fragile.

i juz got it replaced n the mech told me this is a common problem, not only latio.

fm wat i read, high rev will put strain on the a/c compressor. so off the compressor by pressing the a/c button before u want to step hard on the gas.

i revved it to 5-6k rpm one day, the next day got funny sound from my compressor. think that was the last straw for my 4.5yrs old compressor...

[jovially]

Thanks. Didn't know that. for my previous ride, i just ramp 4 to 5 without switching off the A/C. will take note.

Different car manufacturers have their own protection on their aircon system. Not too sure on Nissan cars but for Honda cars, their aircon compressor will cut off when the RPM is over 5000 and this is to prevent the compressor from over-rev...

Which Amsoil EO u using?

the normal ones that cost 12.50 per quart on mo or 15 for normal buy.

I'm achieving 12+ to 13+ KM per litre.  80% HW and 20% City.  I'm a heavy footed.  I think if you travel a constant speed plays a major part of achieving better FC.

i'm achieving 14-15 km/l after 60k servicing... before was 12km/l... O.o

[RameshLV]

 

I cannot get more than 10KM/L..

Very casual driver but mileage already done more than 50K in 2 years time.

...Any idea?  Service is done regularly, always checking tyre pressure (around 250), using Caltex 95,  EO --> changed by TCM during my last servicing.

My RPM is usually around 2000-2200 and my speed is usually maintained around 90 KMH.

But I drive a lot of short stops... not much long driving except in weekends.

I also spoke to the technician  during my last service but he said it is normal...

Wah liao.. 10KML normal meh??  Suey lor... my Toyota Corolla getting better at around  around 14-15KML, same style of driving...

I thought it's the so call aircon bypass? When rev to high rpm, in order to ease the load of the engine, it will cut off the aircon. So far,been driving for more than 10 year but never heard off aircon to protect compressor.
Pardon me if i'm ignorant

If you are using the stock rims, I would say the FC is quite bad. However it all very much depends on your city/highway drive. For many short stops, the speed doesn't even go higher than 60km/hr, hence doesn't even engage into the 4th gear.

In my case, if I have lots of short stops eg during school terms when sending my kid to school, I would have 80% city / 20% highway. My FC is about 11.5 km/litre. Now school holiday, my trip pattern is 50% city / 50% highway, FC is 12.5 km/litre. For long distant trip from west to east, 20% city / 80% highway, 14 km/litre. All the above with 16" rims.

True enough, toyota altis also have better FC. My colleage travels daily from Bedok to Jurong achieved 16 km/litre, on stock condition, 14" rims.

14in is realli ugly leh.. anyone on 17in?

Ya I agree. 1.6 litre car on 14" rims.  His is a old model of the altis, but saves on the petrol. Travels more than 60km daily from home to office.

Does changing of the spark plugs improve the FC? I've been getting ard 10.5 - 11.5 km/l...I also noticed that the fuel gauge needle seldom goes to the top even after i pumped full tank,and only around 50km the needle drop to 3/4 tank......time to change fuel filter?

[dc100]

i am getting 600km per tank on cvt... light foot and stock car

[edwardtkh]

i'm only getting 440-460km on a full tank (till the moment where the yellow lights came on). lightfoot, but ride running on a 16" rims. 50% highway, 50% city.

but at times where i travel more often on the highway, (from AMK to TUAS), FC is slightly better..

Mine is a Latio (Sedan, CVT) and I'm getting 14-15km/ltr (Caltex 95) consistently over 3 years. I can hit 100km with full load (5 persons) at 2.2k rpm, otherwise I always stay below 2k rpm at cruise at 90-100km. That seems to give best mileage.
