[burnolise]

Tonight going to push my car ard the road to get 300km......

[iagree]

Wat was your average speed and rpm?

Hi burnolise,

Around there.

My avg FC i think is abt 12km/L liao if drive in SG and jam at MY/Sg chkpt (for this Tank).

When I got my new ride 06Oct last year, I achieved 13.5km/L FC until few 1000km mileage.... Power.... How abt u?

Regards.

[iagree]

hi iagree, hv tried mine to rev at ~2 to 2.5k max in Malaysia high and maintained the speed average at 100 ~110km/h Max, it's really can help in FC, eg. try on 3/4 mark and to top up at JB, can reached ~ 150+km before reaching 1/2 mark. How abt yrs? Do share with us. Thanks.

Hi LatioR,

Ohhhh....
Mine?
2000rpm to 4500rpm in Msia roads.

Recent Avg FC is abt 12km/L.

1/4 tank topup in JB, i can achieve 15 to 18km/L depending on the HSHW traffic condition. I do drive fast up to 150km/hour.

Regards.

I encourage and support you to push all the way.

Just pumped petrol yesterday......with a lot of rolling and patience wearing thin....managed to squeeze 14km/l.......

So 14km/l is your best? No need to worry, just drive as per normal and enjoy your ride like your previous vroom vroom. 

[latioboy91]

Guys, I can't help but come in and say something.
Hmm, I have been reading with much dismay about people getting diff Fc's and it's just normal!

Heh heh, like the best i've ever achieved was 13km/l and worse being 11km/l.
I've got ppl telling me they got 16km/l. But in conclusion, it's really the driver, and the road conditions.

I travel city driving and i get 11km/l, and someone else travels TPE PIE CTE SLE BKE KJE SLE AND WADEVER E , haha, won't that give him 13-14km/l?

Hmm, Latio is a comfy car.
Just enjoy the car, and no point squeezing that few km more for ur tank of petrol
By doing this way, you are a slave to the car.
In a sense where, * ohmygod i must get 13km/l if not, my latio is NOT good, compared to others*
Hmm, it's very subjective lor. Live to accept the FC you're getting. But if you start getting abnormalities and start getting 9 to 10, something is wrong. But if consistently you're doing that Xkm/l, just stick to it, and life will be pretty much better.

Hmm, no point frussig as to why person A gets 12 and Person B gets 14, and Person C gets 9... Haha. NO driver is the same.

cheers
my 2 bahts worth

Bro, just enjoy the car (:
I used to only clock 200km for my half tank. n I'm happy with that.

[latioboy91]

Hmm Silver, I'm sure you know where I'm coming from
I got this from my old man. haha.

One more thing to add guys!!

We bought Latio, or any car for that matter, to enjoy the convenience of not takig the BMW right? So, if by having a car, and then we need to control what we do to make our FC ideal, then i think BMW would be much easier cause we just sit there, and let the train and bus do the job, the bus driver's responsibility to make the FC of his bus be good, if not SBS TRANSIT scold him.
Wahh come to think bout it, SBS bus fc, i think 1km/l eh? HAHA! 9 freaking litres of displacement.

hi bro..not fully agree with u lei..for me...just changed mine to latio (instead of altis) and the reason is latio is known for the good FC. My previous corrola 1.6M (age 16.5yrs old), the FC is ~ard 8 to 9km/l (suspect due to poor maintenance or car getting older...). Expect latio should give us 13km/l to meet the expectation...tough never deny that Latio is a Good Car in term of comfort    Mine FC is ard 11 to 12+km/l which include jam at malaysia/Sg checkpoint (normally go to JB to top up petrol+dinning + shopping during weekends)

[detach8]

hey guys

no the FC debate is not to haolian or what, but sometimes it's also something to feedback to us not only if the car has a potential issue, it may be a feedback for the drivers' driving behavior.

for a change, i joined in the F1 spirit and drove my latio like a track car with full passenger load today, and guess what? it burned petrol like nobody's business. half tank and it reads 190km. hopefully after some rough-in the ECU might adapt some things not noticed at lower RPM? i dunno. cos i hardly drive the car above 4000rpm. today whack until nearly 5000+.

anyway my driving style is i would call normal. i just accelerate till i feel comfortable, which is usually near 2500rpm for gear 1  and about 2200rpm onwards (4AT) then the usual hway crusing speed of 90-100kph. i work in tanjong pagar and stay bt batok, so i drive down AYE everyday to work and back with some occasional slow traffic and jam. then at night meet gf so go frm bt batok to bt panjang. weekend also the same, meet gf, go out with friend. i would say if included traffic condition i should be doing about 50/50. so far average is 12km/l.

it doesn't really seem normal when others are doing easily 14, 15, even 16! it might be the 2007YOM car that has some rusty parts? poor lubrication? rusty engine? deposits in the engine oil? choked fuel line? you know all these stuff may be the cause. seems like all the recent people who bought the latio 2007YOM ex-stock has a little lousier FC. there might be a link here?

so bros who report your FC here please share some details so we can make some light out of the difference we get... if anybody has the same travel pattern as me, even better! share share!

hi.. but i think those that clock 14-16km/l are CVT model..
i think 4AT at most can hit 14 only...

<---4AT , 15 and 16 no problem here...

[Jazz]

Mine still on mineral oil, average from pick up usually hit around 3000rpm, so FC hover around 11~12km/l.

you sure? how you do it?
