In D mode, when i am not stepping on the brakes, is the car suppose to slip back when on a slope?

if slope steep enough it will roll back

Does the milage drops as the car gets older? Cos my car hits 60000+km already. I now i'm getting around 12 km/l.

I do agree with SoL comment as mine also the same yr/mth as yrs but the best FC in local is aroud 14km/l (just hit this recently) but drop again to 12.5km/l again after my tyre change to 195/60/15 but sill monitor the fc for next few tanks to conclude. At 57k km now.

hi all, my FC hit 19km/l on ~100% M'sia NSHW (even top up petrol to full in hw) which is really to my surprise too. Believed the ECU reseting on RPM at autosaver really a good help in FC.

Hi bro fri13th, really can hit >360km by 1/2 tank lei (but very sure not in local), shd take photo next time as evidence :D

Anyhow ram your engine and you still get an impressive 16km/l.  :scared:  :scared:  :scared:

How many rpm do you rev to?

I think your Latio is the one and only in the whole world that can achieve such remarkable mileage!!!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

Same with me as I top up at half tank, so mileage is around 250km using Caltex Gold, but only able to hit 200km when using Caltex Silver.

I would agree. When I 1st got my ride was travelling around for CNY and FC was 15+, then come back to my normal routine to and fro work etc. Was down to 12+... If it maintains at 12+ then its not any better than my previous kimchi. Was expecting to maintain at 15+ but guess its not the way since running in peroid and route of travel had became congested lately.

just went for my 10k servicing, feedback to them that seeing fuel needle can drop by 2 - 3 marks after driving just driving off fm my MCP 3rd floor to ground or as and when on the road. Quite worry run out of petrol, can reach warning lights and hit the last mark but petrol intake still around 37litres.  Feedback from SE that this is a common problem as sensor is damage in tank and change the sensor. Take car after servicing, pump to full, and notice that from a full tank when needle will start normally above the 1st mark, I normally will travel only about 27km before hitting the 1st line marking, today i hit 67km at the first mark, a first in my 10k journey. Will track if my FC improve with a more accurate needle reading. Normally hitting 480 - 500km for a full tank upon warning light up and plus est 10km before topping up. Maybe that is why bros out there is seeing above 500km for a full tank ?

Hi fri13th, I'm very sure that able to match yr best FC with 100% patience, at 100% M'sia NSHW, Low rpm, eg. 1.8 to 2.3krpm (Max) and with "same pedal position => do not change of fuel injection" => next time MUST take photo to show all liao :devil2:

**Back to local with JB petrol top up every wkends (inclusive of 50 mins jam at chkpt to and fro) -> average 1/2 tank only at 250 to 270 km niah...
