The lower the rpm at cruising speed, the more fuel efficient the engine is.

Crusing rpm between 2-2.5k rpm quite ideal for FC, should be abt 80-90km/h.... :thumbsup:

I can get about 2000rpm at 100km/hr...... I do 90% highway with SPC95...so most of the times I can get about 15km/l....

Btw, i belong to the 2000rpm club where we don't ram the engine...neither do we hog the road...we are just your usual "plain Jane" salaryman driver

It's CVT...so quite usual for 2000rpm at 100km/hr....and that's why fuel economy is at 15km/l

You mean there is a difference after tuning? I think it's more like a reset than a tuning because tuning involves changing the fuel map and ignition parameters of your ECU. In the old days we just adjust the distributor to advance or retard the timing of the ignition and change the fuel and air jet on the carburetors but don't think this is possible anymore.
