hi alang

i just done the 30000 km service at autosaver.

after servicing, i can feel the car has more power (new EO chg?)

last wk, i feel the car quite bo lat... the FC sinked to 8.6km/L (partly due to JAM at sg chkpt when i was coming back fr jb)

2 days ago, when i drive fr sg to KL, when i rch KL, i pumped esso f1 to full tank, it's abt 12.5km/L, not too bad.

regards.

normally if u drive NSH, the FC should be around 14 - 17km/l

12.5km/l seems a little low for highway driving.

Some forumers here have reported achieving 15km/l.

At what speed were you travelling for your S'pore to KL route?

Highway driving also depends on 4AT or CVT, 4AT if you're going faster than 120kmh, 12.5km/l is not bad. I went up expecting more but is about the same as RPM is above 2.5K all the time.

[clarence]

Comparing CVT and 4A/T, which is more economical?

[robtan99]

I always go from spore to ALor setar

Speed is average around 120 - 130 with 3k rpm.

Still can achieve around 15 -16km /l

[david1881]

If you can resist the urge, 90km/h at NSH confirm will give you more than 18km/l   
I could get 16+km/l, keeping 110-120km/h

Most of the vehicles will overtake you.

Hi robtan99

Yday, drove from KL to Tuas, at 140km/h to 180km/h with 3000 to 4500 rpm.

FC dropped to 10.5 + - km/L :) Terrible. Nonstop from KL Sg Besi to 2ndLink ESSO station.

Hi clarence,

Personally, I like CVT if the road is unblock for us to continue to cheong nonstop. But if there are cars block in front of us, then CVT is verys low to accelerate to cheong. That make me feel sian.

But i like CVT now if i drive in NSHW if the road is unblocked.

Hi Jazz

Well, I would say i will be the first one to potong his car until he cannot see my tail :)

Jazz,

Well, I must know my ride well before I drive faster.

I am always careful, but still subject to other careless drivers (suxkers)

I am not worrying as long as I am paying attention and look at least 3 to 4 cars ahead of me & also those cars coming from my asssss ... Win-win. Very careful.

Regards.

Hi iagree,

Yep I agree with you, somtimes it others careless drivers that create accidents.

But my advise is confident is good, but don't over-confident ya. 

[clarence]

You must also ensure that your car's tyres are properly inflated, have adequate thread  and your brake pads are not bald, for highway highspeed driving on the NSH.

Hi Jazz

Thanks for your concerns, i know you are very kind-hearted. I appreciated alot.

No worries.

Usually I have no confident to drive at night.

Day time, I can cheong to the max. And, I am very careful, 人车合一... You know what is this? 1stly, we must have the mutual feeling/understanding with our car otherwise, don't speed or drive fast... 2ndly, the road conditions must take note before we speed, 3rdly, the weather, we must know our limit to cope with diff type of weather. and so on. 天地人车合一!

When you drive faster than other cars, it is hard for them to hit your asssss...

The side mirrors, rear mirror, we must always biooo the cars next to us or behind us always, probably every 3 to 5 seconds got to biooo once. U must take note. This is very one of the most important factors.... to drive safely............

Regards.

hi iagree, u sound like so confident in yr driving skills  ..but hor..if u met the "plot" at Malaysia HW (just like my friend did on 1st day of Chinese new year), the "Kancil" in front jammed brake and short after that speed up again to get away...Make a guess, how many car behind got it................................................


..............................



..............................


Total 6 cars (with my friend on the 3rd placing), within second, my friend was offered the "Towing" service
===> Cost him RM$500 for less than 10km tow. And...he has to scrapped his 1.8 Altis (less than 3 yrs) and get back only $40k (Vs he bought at >$80k)...

[clarence]

This happens on Singapore highways too.

Nothing new.

Hello LatioR

i not fully agree. before i start my explaination below, i would like to emphasize to u guys that, the FC will be very lousy if we speed!!!

i am not very confident in my driving skills, i believe i am confident in my 'careful' to handle those drivers. we need to pay attention to observe their driving patterns. some drivers are lulu one, some drivers are slow motion one.... but i like those people who drive BM or Benz or any cars that can drive faster than me probably at least 160km/h, so that I can follow them and let them OPEN the road for me. BUT one thing to take note of, I will not speed to tail near him because I want to maintain the distance of at least 3 to 5 cars btw his car & my car (i am behind), why so? to have 'space' and 'reserve' for emergency, be careful is good. Precaution. Prevention is better than cure although we drive abit faster... I would say, Latio is very zai!!! Stable & firm esply with better grip tyres, it's more zai on the road.

We need to adjust ourselves to different type of situations & enviroment. e.g. road conditions, weathers, those drivers' patterns (fast or slow driving) and so on. alot of factors. But, i don't think i can be PERFECT, i am just trying my best to be careful nia.

Sorry ya, this is my 20cents view only.

Btw, poorer FC hor, 10.5km/L only for my last tank (from KL to JB 2ndlink) but it is ok... :)

Regards.
