Hey guys,

Do you feel that the brand of petrol used affects your FC for your ride?
I alternate between 9500 @ Esso & Silver Techron @ Caltex, and get between 13-14km/l for the better part of my ride's first year... (FYI, I try not to rev beyond 2,000RPM)

Tried using SPC for awhile, but felt that pick-up wasn't smooth, and went back to the 2 above-mentioned brands...

That's the same result I got when I use SPC.

hi everyone.
i have been monitor my fc for quite some time.
those using esso, you can try switching to shell.
my engine now more smooth and quiet after the switch.
and most importantly fc is very much better.
i am now doing a test.
try to pump petrol slowly.
seem like you will get exact 1L as measure by the pump.
I do believe that the pump will suck back vapor during pumping because the flow is too fast thus creating a lot of vapor.

Driving habits and route are the two most significant factors.

My colleague gets 19+km/L from 4AT sedan. Mine varies between 14km/L to 20+km/L for CVT hatchback. Have a friend who routinely nets 18+km/L on his Sunny 5MT. And I used to be able to get 15+km/L tanks on a Sunny 4AT (doing 75%HW). It pays to drive like granny...

i have been monitoring the FC for past few mths.
notice that highway/city driving does make a lot of diff.
my usual route is 90/10 (city/highway) and FC is always around 11/L.
however, if i drive highway during that mth for just 2/3 dys, FC improves to 13/14 for that mth. no change in driving pattern.
