Did last servicing at autosaver , they tuned my car back to optimal settings i think..from there FC has been hitting 16k/l with ease.

Do you know what they tune? Curious.  :smile:

Usually i pump SPC 98, den last week finally get to pump shell although the tank left around 55% den the great thing comes..
My FC from 14.2km/l (around) increases to 15.1km/kl, which is a major improvement~

Well, will try to see if this tank is as good  :thumbsup:

Heard from friends and I also experienced it myself that if mix same grade petrol from different brand/company, the FC is better.  It is noticeable with much better fc.  But some ppl say in the long run, bad for car (- something that I don't understand why as some ppl just pump at any kioks nearby when their fuel runs low and they do not have problem with their car.).

Yesterday, i pumped at Esso/Mobil @ JB (when i reached jb), the FC was abt 14km/L leh. Sui !

My ride will be going for the next 10k servicing again.... 28200 will send for next servicing... 5th service!!! Have not decide on which service ctr to go yet! 1) Msia TCM  2) SG TCM... see which package is offering cheaper price.

iagree, let us know which country offer the best deal ya. BTW, if you service at Msia TCM, will not affect your warranty with SG TCM? And whether their servicing package is the same (spare part change, etc)?

Hi Bros,

  Just got my car last week. Just to check, hw u determine the FC? Cos you can't possibly wait for fuel tank to empty then u pump full tank right. Pls advise me. Thanks alot.

er that is actually what i do. i track every tank, so after 2 - 3 tank (~1000+km) you can tell your FC already.

1. Pump to full tank
2. Reset your trip meter
3. When you next pump to full, take kilometers travelled divided by total litres of petrol pumped    =   xx km/l

Hi everyone....am new to this website and forum....just got my sedan latio about 1 mth ago..went for 1k servicing already...FC only achieved 12.5...does the FC for this car continue to improves?

One more question, I dun understand why the seat has to be so high up even when i shift them to the lowest....it is not particularly comfortable for driver...need some getting used to....but the keyless feature is great.....

Are you a heavy footer driver?? My first tank (before 1k servicing) was 11km+...then i change my driving style....try not to rev the car to beyond 2500rpm....then the FC improves to 12.5....but it has been 12.5 since my 2nd tank....wonder if it will improve further when i hit 5k mileage....

12+ is pretty good in my opinion. I'm also getting around that for my 1 yr plus ride :)

hi idiotboi89

ohhh, i am using ron95 aso, the cheapest one.
my FC is in this range of 11.5km/l to 14km/l.

i thk just relax, no problem with the FC, it varies for every tank that we pump.
