FC worsen after trip to Malaysia

[clarence]

Bo, tks for the reply. I understand that with the speed i tavel in nshw, the fuel consumption will be bad... but what i mean is that after i come back to sg, the fuel consumption is worse then b4 i go malaysia.

I suspect it could be due to the petrol you pumped in Malaysia.

Try changing your fuel filter and see if there's any improvements after pumping S'pore petrol.

many many many possible reasons...

my wild stab at your qn...

maybe the fuel tank indicator is starting to act up (faulty). I had mine changed when doing my 10k servicing as the indicator is acting weird (i.e not the usual as wat you have experience)

going for my 40k servicing at the end of the month... going to ask them to change it again.

IT is happening again.. seems like our ride's fuel indicator have this niggling issues

I've also encountered this problem myself. After a trip to Ipoh and back, the FC was horrible. Worse I encountered was like 11kml for the first few tanks after the trip. Now, back in Singapore, I can usually get no less than 14 kml.

It depends on a lot of factors.

In Malaysia, we tend to speed, and  speeds above 100 are very bad for FC. Of course, driving too slowly is unacceptable of course. Keep around 120km/h and you should be around the 13-14km/l mark, from my personal experience.

How many people and luggage are you carrying? Dun expect to have good FC is you ferry 5 people with full luggage.

In Singapore, we normally don't do that, so FC should be better.
