FC compare for 100% city, urban pattern

[haido]

Hi, like to hear from fellow lations who travel pattern is 100% city/urban like me.. Maybe can self-console abit.. haha.. mine is just above 11km/l.. Just bought a 07 Latio Sport about 2 months back.. So far only pump 5 times.

Any tips for better mileage for city dwellers?

Durin mornin or nite time, try to drive wif windows down. When movin off frm stationery try to change ur gears at below 3k rpm if u r drivin 4AT. Regular servicin oso plays a part in havin a gd fc for ur ride.

Anyway its ur right foot dat is doin è trick most of è time, i used to travel frm my hse (west) to my jobsite at tampines best i manage to achieved was 500km until yellow lite appear. Most of è time i'm a heavy footer on 17" rims. So fc is not so much of a major concern to me.

Keep your car clean, no extra stuffs in your boot or interior. If can tahan, on your fan 1 and switch to 25 degC, if hot day, go for fan 2 and max adjust to 23 degC, no auto set.

From west to tampines will be highway most of time so confirm will have better FC...

Mine is CVT though. I quite light footed. And with traffic light always in sight, difficult to chiong anyway. My rpm seldom above 2.5k.

Aircon most of the time on though it always at 24degree, fan 2or 3 No auto set.

Car is clean as well cause still new so never (havent?) buy much. Heaviest item should be the spare tyre. Usually 1 adult and 1 child passenger.

Oh ya remember to check tyre pressure occasionally, it plays a part in ur fc too.
If u got urself a tyre repair diy kit, u can do away wif è spare tyre. Dat pcs of wheel adds to alot of unnecessary weight to our ride.

If u travel pattern is mostly city wif alot of start stop drivin, maybe u can consider fixin pivot throttle controller. There is various mode of settin for u to choose frm eco, normal & sports.

[haido]

My tyre pressure at 250/230 and i check weekly at least. New car so still quite on the ball...

Got thought of losing my tyre, but not sure where to store it at home leh. haha..

Dont thk i want to spend extra just for better mileage. Actually previous car owner can get about 13-14km/l from the car on mostly highway travel pattern, so the prob definitely not with car.

Just see if folks here can share any driving tips for CVT latio on 100% city travel for better FC.

Any car other than hybrids will not have any good fc in 100% urban ride, why trouble your own mind?

[haido]

Hm.. not really trouble my mind lah. Cause there are no discussion on 100% urban drive pattern here. Just want to see whether my 11km/l is normal or not. And if i can adjust my driving style or other ways to improve FC.

[skullcap]

Just pretend there's an egg behind e accelerator. Step on it as gently as u can. Urban driving, a lot of stop n go so very hard 2 get gd fc. 

[Jazz]

But again, 100% city driving can still achieve 11km/l is very good liao. 

[edmundteo]

Reach 40K major service and before was like 12-13km/l. 60%Highway 40%City

Service items change are:

1) air filter
2) Mobil 1 gold 0w-40
3) Dunlop tyres veuro ve302 185/65R15
4) CVT gear oil
5) aircon filter
6) spark plugs

Now after running 4k km, me getting 14-15km/l. Not sure which items contribute to improvements but driving pleasure sure is better much smoother.

That quite good. I'm getting only abt 10km...now car is abt 165k... Happy with the car, using Esso 98, as 95 lack of power. I can only get 12km/l if I drive below 2000rpm, but no pleasure in driving then. Latio Sedan CVT 96.

[haido]

Mine is about 105k now.. Did 100k service recently, change spark plugs and EO (Motul 300v). Change tires as well, Kumho KH31, original rim size.

I also on Esso but is 95. Tried 98 once, feel pick up more powerful.. but negligible, and did not not improve FC. So switch back to 95.

My rpm usually hover around 2rpm.. cause already 60-70km/h after holding it there for a while. Sometimes moving off from red light will go about 2.5rpm if see beside lorry/bus overtakes me....

imho latio is oledi considered a fuel savin car, when i'm drivin on a heavy foot i still can achieved 10km/l (100% urban) when light footed 13km/l (80% highway) on 17" rims. So its considered very good liao  as compared to my previous cars.

Bro, I followed the air con  advice and saw an improvement in my FC. Normally, I'll hit half tank at 200km. For this round, I'm hitting close to 240km. Thanks!!

No problem, we are here to share. I surprised myself too initially, keep recalling what have I done. I on 17" wheel and able to achieved regularly around 13km/l almost every tank.

i agree, no issue with my cvt latio fc since day 1.
constantly getting 14km/l for mostly highway driving.

mine aircon is set to 26 degrees auto.
