Hi Bro..

1) Are you heavy footed..? Try to go more gentle with it..

2) And the type of road you using everyday plays a part as well. My FC is normally better if i travels far distance using expressway, compared with small roads.

FYI.. My FC is stuck at 300km++ too.. 

[davidtay]

Not really lay not heavy footed too
really dun know wat happen maybe think i need to go servicing lor but dun know service what and wher is cheap too

What petrol do u pump?

[gatier]

300 too less .. I pump 92 can go till at least 400 plus till light up

check /pump your pressure type (best after short distance & night) pump at least once a month

also change spark plug when necessary

my max (that time use 98 and mostly expressway) is 600 plus till light up

Age & mileage of ur car oso plays a part, as ur ride gets older with higher mileage fc tends to drop too...
Proper maintenance & regular servicin is essential in makin sure ur veh remains in tip-top condition at all times.

[davidtay]

ya today just visit kelvin i think he drain our abt 1 litre of engine oil lor because other mechanic pour full 4 litre inside which i just change last month. As kelivn say Latio need only 3 litre lol...... and just change my spark plug and trootle cleaning too. just when in JB pump full tank hope can cure my high fuel consumption lor.....

440 right before low fuel indicator comes on?
Or 440 until maybe the last litre?? 

[Enzoni]

6+yrs old stock sport, 500km on 40litre, indicator on around 430km

[dsrio]

mine near 6 years old latio cvt.

pump 37l shell 95 or any petrol that is 5000 grade, warning light comes on about 500km

[kt]

I've never, ever, hit 450km and beyond 

[Enzoni]

warning light normally on when have used 37litre from full tank, for you will be 500km/37litre=13.5km/l, good FC

u guys on stock 15" rims?
My 5.5 yrs sedan can achieve abt 450km top up 40l of shell 95

[dsrio]

mine is replica ssr rims type c 15inch, less than 5kg against stock which is much heavier at 7kg+ if i don't forget.

i believe lighter rims does help in my fuel consumption.

but i must add that i do lotsa highway.

[tower22]

3yr 60k sports hb. 205/55/16. 5w30. esso 5000. 80:20 highway city ratio. usually only 2 people in the car. ~13.5km/l
Used to be ~14.5 before i upsize my stock wheels. I find eo w30 more fuel efficient and responsive than w40. And feel 98 petrol can give slightly more mileage but dont worth $$.

Apart from looking at achieving higher mileage, we should consider higher viscosity will provide better protection to your car engine.
