I'm still on mineral oil and mileage only abt 3k and so far FC is around 12km/l hoping to improve after using syn oil

your FC should be expected to drop with time.

My advise is not to use fasflo syn, waste money, top it up with Shogun, 0w30 only cost me additional $3 plus

Still running in my CVT FL sedan at 700km (not yet first svc). Collected the car that time the sales guy said they topped up $30 worth of Shell 98, so okay I try to drive until less than 1/4 then go and pump Synergy 8000 as I use different brand.

Just pumped my second tank of Synergy 8000 today and calculated my FC for the first tank to be about 13.3km/l. Noticed the fuel gauge on the FL Latio (or at least on mine) behaves differently.. The first three quarters seem to be quite balanced - one quarter for about every 140km. Highway/urban ratio about 70/30, but even then on highway I get stuck every morning on SLE-to-BKE slip road, BKE-to-KJE and the stretch on KJE leading to PIE.

Running on stock tyre and rim, I never check tyre pressure - collect the car only drive and go liao haha

My FC range from 10.43km/L to 16.04km/L. If control your foot till your RPM not over 2000, you should get result > 14km/L.

MIne latio sport 4AT just went for the 1st servicing. Before servicing, 1st 1/4 mark i can get 140km but after servicing the needle seems to drop a much faster. Going up NSH this wkend, will monitor the mileage.

Sian after servicing stil no difference... Tyre pressure I think ( :bleh: ) now should be ok 'cos TCM should have check pressure. Maybe should change petrol to experiment.. Wonder what petrol are fellow Latio drivers using, especially those clearing 15km/l?

I think route and driving pattern are key factors. My CVT can achieve 9km/l in pure short city drive or 15km/l+ on NSHW trip. Emm... The City drive is using malaysian ESSO F1 while the NSHW is using sg ESSO 95 petrol.

cannot trust tcm on this ba. last time servicing they rotate my tyres, end up my tyre pressure behind higher den front.. if not is .. drop til 185 they also never check.. lol.. damm sad case

well i have been driving my latio for the last 10 months and have gone thru the 10000km mark....now currently at about 16000km mark...not once has the FC gone beyond 11.5km. In fact my current FC has never gone beyond 10.5km/ltr..  :crycry:

Feels like i am driving a russian tank...  :mad:

what's your driving pattern? - expressways vs city driving

cold tyre pressures?

New record today - 20.52km/l heheh!  ;D

20/80 city-highway, 80km/h max speed, acceleration at 2k rpm.

I thought this tank would be pretty terrible, since I had to fetch my parents and luggage to the airport, ~150kg extra weight with aircon on the whole trip(I live in west). Also, had to on AC a bit more than usual.

Whole tank, around 380km at half tank mark. I think my petrol sensor a bit weird, so the half tank mark not really accurate.

so, it is estimated?

best to actually fill the tank right to the brim and then to obtain the actual consumption based on the actual km travelled and the actual volume of petrol
