sigh my fc is seriously something wrong. tyre pressure ok, engine still new (8000km?), footing average, not much change in travel pattern, car is stock, spare tyre still at the back.. ... last 2 tanks 11km/l  :nonod:

this tank also i think near 11km/l. what can be wrong man.

bro, the road conditions play 50% of the cause, last time KPE not open yet, my FC 10-11. Now after KPE open my FC 13-14

travel and driving style not much change. just one day a week travel abt 120KM to Tuas and back.

Tyre pressure 250 front. 230 back

FYI initially when u change to Fully Syn oil, u notice yur engine super quiet, and a bit sluggish. thats normal. it takes abt 1K+ to run in just take it easy and not rev too much.

Be patient. Your car is still running in.   :smile:

Fuel economy should improve considerably after the 10,000km oil change.

Sometimes my FC also differs because of different traffic conditions.

Hello all

My FC has improved ("back to original avg FC") to 12.5km/L 2 to 3 weeks after I changed my 4 new GR80 tyres.

Good.

Regards.

turn off air-con provided the weather is cool, or else already stuck in jam in hot weather w/o air-con equal to a very angry man :mad:

fyi, noticed my fc drop somemore to 490km travel top up 37.5l of petrol since using fastflo, or is it because my wife started driving my car recently, different driving pattern may contribute to bad fc also.

Your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) needs time to adapt to a new driver's (your wife) driving habits.

Your FC should stabilise after some time.

Oh u mean if different pple driving the same car daily will cause the FC to drop? Hm.mm.....cos every morning, me and hubby will switch car to drive to Shenton way to have breakfast before ERP turn on and then we will switch car again after breakfast when i drive to work at paya lebar...why we do tat...so tat both of us will  be equally comfortable in driving both cars....

hey bro i got this data from somewhere... so it's off my mind and no 100% proof, but those with a FC meter can probably determine.

Hmm why not let's idle our car for 2 days (48hours) and see if the tank goes empty...  :w00t: i think people must be thinking my brain somewhere the wire connect wrong
