My FC getting worse.......help!!

[josho]

i used to count my FC also by pumping when meter reaches E.

but now with the oil prices going up and up, its good to pump every now and then and save that 1 - 2 bucks.

Ya, I agree. With the increase of petrol, pump faster better.

Hi Manz

I just started to use VPower (@ Msia @ RM2.15 per Litre).

Can feel the 'power' vs the Mobil F1.

VPower = RM2.15/L
Mobil F1 = RM1.92/L

After I serviced my 18k km @ KL 2wks ago, my FC improved to 13.5km/L liao (with Mobil fuel). Btw, before servicing, the FC dropped to 11km/L (after my 10k service@TCM w free mineral oil fr TCM!)

Yesterday, @ JB 2nd Link I pumped to full tank, the FC was abt 13.5km/L also. Look like not much improvement btw VPower & Mobil F1.

I may continue to pump Mobil F1 @ RM1.92 liao even though VPower feels more powerful.

What do u guys think abt it?
Pls share.

Regards.

My personal experience with V Power is that it gives a smoother ride with better power, but a much lower milage.  That is, you got a smoother and more powerful ride, but at the expense of higher cost per litre and lower milage per litre.  Not sure if anyone else have the same experience when they pump V Power.

for me, my normal use is 98, tried VPower during their promotion, smoother ride and FC slightly improves by abt 10%,

With v-power, i have a slightly better fc than shell 98.  The ride is much powerful especially when the aircon is off.  I can feel the power when moving off after red light.

btw, mine is cvt sedan.  usually on shell 98.
