Now I just look at the pump meter and speedo meter, if distance is more than 10x of petrol reading then ok. Dont need to compute the decimal point.

I see no point in cheating. I can get 15k/l on a low-side FULL tank (pump till trigger) and 15k/l on a squeeze FULL tank ( +2L after trigger) and consistent too on a cold fill ( pump car during cold weather and petrol tank is cold, +6L after trigger).

All above can span my mileage at 1/4 mark from 450km to 650km. Full tank can go 700km if i want.

Only thing changes for the fact u pump is the mileage u will get will increase gradually. FC remains same.


nowonder u pple can get fc like 14-16...KNS fill petrol until like that of coz sure good fc la...

I normally fill till the pump auto stop then round the liters to the nearest full digit liters.

Got one time a PRC attendant filling my car, which I expect abt 34L then end up with 38L, that tank gave me FC of 14, (somemore that tank i stuck in jam at AYE for almost an hr) so bey chun wan some pple here top up petrol

Our car ave 12.5 - 13.5 si beh ho already, considering 50% city drive 50% HW

Looking at the number of feedbacks on poor FC despite the car being very stock and cultivating best practices shows this is something of a BS

not trying to incite or flame, but I am sure there will be some bros who will stood by my opinion

My Latio FC changes with different factors, but I have no problem to get same FC for the same condition. eg. pure City driving is always close to 10, maybe 9+. NSH to Melaka 130~140kmh can get 14+km/l, 90~110kmh can get 16+km/l. So imo my car is normal.

Test your FC for a long HW drive during offpeak if your FC for that segment is less than 13km/l then your car really got problem, else it is just the way you drive and the road condition.

for singapore driving, it is difficult to benchmark whether our petrol consumption is high or low unless u really try on HW.

I think for average:
1st 1/4 tank : 120km to 140km
2nd 1/4 tank: 220km to 240km

I would like to provide another opinion.....

When people "hump" their cars while pumping petrol in msia, its not because they want to "cheat" and get better mileage. Its

because the petrol there is cheap, so go all the way in liao, must ensure make their money "worth worth" as petrol in singapore

is expensive, so they hump their cars to pump that ~2 litres more to feel shiok. Maybe they are ignorant that their suspension

might be subjected to more wear and tear in the process. So i feel "humping" their cars while pumping petrol has got nothing to

do with FC.

last week i went for my 5k servicing and asked TCM to reset the ECU to factory setting.
during acceleration it seems smoother.. will try out on new fuel tank!
