petrol running low fast

[dthh]

I do agree, but in SG we only drive at most 1.5hrs and in between may have many stop due traffic light also no high speed.

If go notrh then the condition is different. 1-2hrs non stop with high speed. This have to conside the type of engine oil using.
 

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

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

u can if you want... just drive straight to KL at 80km/hr :)

[spyder_696]

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.....

great lesson...
jb petrol dont last compare to local esso 92 which i always use...
jb petrol tank for tank at least 50-70km lesser same driving method and distance..

Tyre size, pressure, and traction also affects your FC. Higher traction tyres normally will increase FC, so will bigger/wider and lower tyre pressure.

[boey]

Agreed lower tyre pressure will increased of fuel consumption. Travels distance also play a part too. My 6yrs + full tank 34litres can go 440 before low fuel indicator comes on. Always top up 10 -11 days. 

[biting]

My FC is around 11.5km/l. I have never hit 12km/l before.

[CustomGolf]

my best was to KL still have 1/4 tank. don't know how much it is.

[kt]

Me too. Just went to Ipoh & back and was driving around 120km/hr. After KL still have around 1/4 tank left. Based on rough estimation, my Latio FC finally hit 14km/l ..finally!!!

after discounting the error on speedo?

Yeah gotto take into consideration dat bigger rims & wider tyres give inaccurate speedo readin by abt 5km/h but 1 thingy for sure, latio fc beats my ex kimchi ride & sunny anytime...

[weesern]

even with the standard wheel size the speedo is already off... so actual fc is lower

[RameshLV]

Wah Liao Bros....

I cannot get even 400 KM lor!!  I go to top up full full tank, until almost overflow only then I can get upto 370.

My driving is in town area and maximum speed is only 90Km or 100.  In SG how to go above 100kmh??

My Latio in November-2008.  from TCM.

Now cannot afford to change to new car or bigger car also??  MY FC is about 10.30 per km.  How to go up 500 KM for full tank?

Not heavy footed too...

If you only drive around town daily without using expressway, 10 - 11 km/l is normal

[wooks]

I had same problem too.  After tried my method it works.  520km for full tank.  I pump till really full, but didn't spill out.  Go on really very light foot, maintained 80km/hr at all times at expressway and sometimes let it roll when u judge far cars were stepping brakes.  On minor roads travelled on avg 50km/hr or less.  Do dragging on move off. 

Next tried same method but occassionally didn't follow some of the rules, such as once or twice above 90km/hr, minor roads once or twice at 60km/hr and once or twice dragged during move off.  Managed only to clogged 430km.

maybe this is why Govt set the speed limit as 80 or 90km/h.. improve FC!!! hahah

[derrick213]

i travel 80% expressway,
most of the time move off from stop 2k - 2.5k rpm,
expressway most of the time travelling at 90 - 100kph

f.c usually around 13.5 km/l

[kt]

I think the difference in city and highway driving really affects the FC quite a lot. When I'm doing mostly city driving, I'm getting between 350km to 390km per tank (pump till 35l - 37l). When I'm doing mostly highway driving, the FC becomes 420km to 450km.

I'm already resigned to the fact that my Latio got poor FC as compared to my previous rides (Toyota Corolla & Honda Stream). Even my Honda Stream could hit close to 15km/l when I'm driving to M'sia (on 17" rims and with car fully loaded).

But in terms of ride comfort, Latio definitely is better.
