Ying, I'm talking about when moving off from the stop line. I agree, it is best to time the traffic lights so we can go past when green, but sometimes stopping is inevitable. Thats why we must look ahead, and not just at the traffic light facing us, but the lights for the sideway direction as well. This takes a lot of practice and knowledge of the traffic light rules.

apoca, light footed is definitely not the best for FC. I've tried that in the past, but now I find accelerating at constant ~2k rpm yields better results. Also the reason for your low numbers might be due to traffic jams, ferrying alot of people, using brakes unnecessarily etc etc.

hi SoL

2000rpm is just nice to drive (CVT Latio) @ around 100km/h. quite gd for FC with lightfooted and dun anyhow accelerate with a inconsistent speed.
sorry, i must agree because i don't know how to disagree. agreeeee only....
