Double confirm its 45l, once I choing till super low tank then pump petrol, think I activated the reserve tank, when I pumped till full tank its abt 42l. That's how I got my 16.5km/l, but its nothing compared to 22km/l...wow!  :w00t:

Hi guys, I'm getting 450km out of 35 litres on 95 (caltex). tyre psi is 220(front) and 200(rear) on 15". Is this FC considered ok?

Think slight loss of typre air of abt 10psi is normal, considering the distance travelled daily, temperature & weather....its a good habit to check & pump your tyres every fortnightly or so....but if sudden leakage the next day after pumping, think might have to check tyres if any nails or small holes needed to be patched up... :bleh:

i pump once everyweek when i go pump petrol..kill 2 birds with 1stone...

is this good ??

i usually get 11km/L (which is bad already), after servicing 10,000 km and change to Amsoil 5w30 synthetic oil, my FC  drop  :crycry:

i thought synthetic can give better FC. I bought good oil, but FC drops. How come Faslo mineral oil give better FC??  :confused1: got anyone with similar situation?

Mine is now abt 12km + -

First few mths, esply when it was below 1000km, i drive very slowly, max 90km/h. i think the FC was good due to the steady driving pattern.

After 5000km, i drive > 110km/h to 170km/h in NSHW! FC drop to abt 11 to 12km/l!

Sigh!

 Dear all lations,

   I also experiencing a drop in FC after 20K servicing (using 5w-30 armsoil engine oil). The worst is I feel there is a drop in power esp pickup in my latio after servicing? I really puzzled about this.  :confused1:

drop in power maybe due to new oil bah. some of my frens told me just after changing new oil will feel that way. but for myself, after the 10k servicing, i dun feel any drop of power at all.

In fact after changing the engine oil on my 10k servicing, there's no drop in power....instead more smooth during ride....

Bro Naruto, why u use 5w-30 oil? Won't it be too thick after only 20k km?

wah u all chiong siah 170kph.. is scary!!  :scared: better have good tyres
try driving slow. keep to max 80/90kph. i think 80kph is about the best FC speed... 4AT gives me around 2000rpm at 80kph. any faster wind resistance will kill FC. wind resistance increases to the square of speed. so it is not linear!

oh, i drive CVT. CVT's 2000rpm can hit 100km/h.

170km/h i can feel the 'fast'. so normally i maintain at 160km/h max.

scare tyres tak boleh tahan leh....
