The word "reserve" gives some ppl the wrong impression that there are two physical tanks, a main tank and a reserve tank.  Maybe should change the term "reserve tank" to another word to reflect that it is the amount of petrol left after the lower fuel light lit up.  My vocab limited, any suggestion on such a term?

Still to reserve tank is better understanding. 

Once the fuel light comes on, means main tank empty and now goes to reserve which contain 10l of petrol. 

Should have driven another 50km before I pump.

A quick calcuation shows that your FC is almost 16km/litre.  Very good leh.

Yah, consistantly getting around 15km/l to 17km/l for my travel pattern.

Yesterday just try pumping V-Power, want to see how good is this fuel! All along, I'm using Esso 5000 (95).

So far, never smell 15km/L before.  At best was 14.2.

Mine is abt there too. So long we are at 14km plus, good enough tho.  Anymore is a plus bonus 

I was told that adding Volt Stabilizer and change better Air Filter will increase FC too. Saving money for that.

isit proven? lidat i can psyco my dad to get it

I dunno those.    But I will want to try it by changing to K&N. I might be buying from Amazon and have it send to vPost USA before sending to Singapore. Total cost saving is about $20 after calculation.

Hi Xuan 511 and Josho,  you may want to see the page on "mod" to find out more.  Seems like some type of air filter needs higher maintenance cost and end up they change back to original.  Remembered reading some threads on air filter.

did you step on acceleration too hard? I dunno is it due to the oil is thinner, rev can be quite high. My petrol drop to almost half when it it's only at 170km mileage! 

But it's ok to observe
