My FC getting worse.......help!!

[fickle]

mine averaging about 14.3 for past 9 tanks...  current mileage 4800km

[clarence]

14.3km/l during running in period? 

Your Latio is 1 in a million.   


Care to share with us -

How many % highway/city driving?

How many rpm do you rev until?

What brand and RON petrol do you pump?

i very surprised also with the good economy...  best ever was 16km/litre, last tank was 15km/litre.

80% highway/20% city

rpm1.8-1.9k mostly on expressway... gentle pickup not more than 2k.

No wonder you get such excellent mileage   

Try pumping your tyre pressure to 240Kpa and remove your spare tyre and you will get even better mileage.

i hoping things will change for the better after run-in.

hello fickle

haha, that is what i do when my mileage was below 1000 :)
i get 13km/L :)

hi limck

not quality of petrol.
we pay more mah but we get less petrol mah.

 How can this be ? You filling the same amount of fuel except paying for higher premiums for the petrol, so how can it be lesser ?

oh, i already pump to 240-245 kpa liao  :)  spare tyre i would not touch... the mileage is good enough for me already.

i am not rushing to get anywhere in particular... hence the relaxed driving style 

[erzat]

wah rao...

i envy ur FCs man..
i'm only getting 11-12km/l average..
80% city / 20% highway
both me n wife r light-footed drivers..

currently on X-Rev 5W30..
mileage is abt 23000km..
on 16" rims..

 

[totallypatrick]

this type of thing how to compare. Different routes, different mods, different traffic condition, different load (a guy weighing 60kg will of cos have better fc than a guy weighing 90kg rite) so very hard to judge one lah..

If u are browsing this thread , petrol consumption must be an issue to u so i hope it helps. If else , just enjoy the ride (y be so restricting)... doing all above will just give u another cup of ice mocha every week.

Below is samples fuel gauge for ur reference
Pumped petrol to full by filling to brim, travelled 80km,needle drop a bit..



reaching 1st quarter mark ...160km


completed 1st quarter mark ...ard 200km..(litres consumed should b ard 12litres)


halfway to 260


hit 53% mark ...mileage reach 353


Pumped petrol at 431 with 25.32 squeezed in, FC - 17km/l

wow

Fantastic !! 

[clarence]

Your Latio fuel consumption is amazing low.    

Your Latio already travelled 89km and your fuel gauge needle is still at FULL?

How much more petrol did you pump after the fuel noozle gets cut off.

[iagree]

hi clar

aiyo, that one is not accurate one lah.
if u take 10 times how much u pump and then divide accordingly, that may be give u more accurate FC loh.
and, if we dun speed, soon soon drive, shld get btr FC aso.

who know that last 1/4 can last for 30km oni? haha

[iagree]

aiyo
(iagree) with that.
so torturing to drive a car, then what for driving it leh, if want to save till so extreme

[detach8]

super ultimate checklist  but cannot lah if i drive like that i will cry. maciam fly aeroplane.

hmm say no to 2500 rpm.. r u using 4AT or CVT? i think 2200-2500rpm is quite easy to "kena" esp in city driving. hwy driving maybe not, cos of gradual acceleration.

[limck007]

i agree... Drive in a manner that u feel song/shiok one.. then if u get GOOD FC then its a bonus..

If u get lousy FC but still within your wallet's power.. then still okie lah haha

[xuan511]

eh? Its already at 80+ when u pump full or u trying to say when u travel 80 the needle is stll at F mark?
