In local, not much diff (still ard 12 ~14km/l). As in NSHW, it has improved from 16km/l+ to 18 ~19km/l+ now (with the sacrifice of speed, eg. from 110~120km/h to 90~100km/h). The tuning is FOC together with the service package.

Hi SoL, for me, it's doesn't matter anymore as I usually pump to the rim and believed the sensor already spoil liao :devil2:
how to pump to rim? petrol keeps on dropping though i pump to rim. it takes like another 20++ times to pump to rim but petrol still flow in slowly.

Maybe u are pumping too slow and that's why not able to pump to rim :bleh:..Usually for me, after it about reaching the rim, will need to top up another 1L+ and then will reach close to rim, afterwhich, will neeed to top up 5 times+ to reach the rim (slowly).

**p/s: do check if there is any petrol leak out to the floor which caused u not able to top up to rim, just a jokes :devil2:

Wow, very nice! How much you got for a full tank?

I think my petrol sensor is spoilt lol. I get 120km at quarter tank, but 650km for my last tank when low fuel light just came on.

Yah, recently I've been driving with AC more often, since it so much hotter! Plus I ran into a couple of jams the last tank! =(

1) % highway/city driving? 70/30
2) Brand and RON petrol used? mobil 5000
3) Tyre Pressure? Front 270, Back 250
4) Driving with air con turned on or off? Air con on 100% set temp at 23-24
5) Drive mostly during the day or at night? 50/50
6) Brand of engine oil used? amsoil 5-30w
7) Mileage? going 10k
8) How many people are usually in the car or just yourself? 3-4ppl
9) Any modifications done to your car? ez-stab and spark bridge
10) Do you use any after market additives? never before.


i think we all have to drive smart lor....example like dun fight with gravity when going up slope and floor ur pedal....down slope time press more and to pick up speed faster....look further in front to anticipate the traffic lights changes the lesser u use ur brakes the better ur fc....and also leave home 15 mins earlier everyday so we dun have to rush and ram our engine unnecessary and can enjoy a safe and pleasant drive :thumbsup:

Hi bro fri13th, thanks for the info sharing and seem like need to change to opc to hv better FC then :bleh: Btw, my last FC in local is at ard 13.5+km/l and NSHW @ 18.91km/l (eg. clocked 377.1km at 1/2 tank @ 95% HW). I'm on normal shift and normally get stuck on SLE towards CTE b4 coming out to AMK area.
