Fuel Consumption

Oh yah forget to mention, the average FC meter isn't always accurate. My first 3 tankfuls were all either too high or low by close to 1km/l. For instant I got 7liter/100 == 14.28km/l, but my manual calculation was 14.96km/l.

Why left and not right

typo, use the leg not use the left lol

Hmm.. Read some where about that too.. But also, there is also a post here about filling up your tank to the max so as to reduce waste of petrol from evaporation (due to more air in the tank) Not sure which is more significant. The extra weight of the petrol, or the petrol we lost throught evaporation.

EX 1.6 Auto carry 150kg n full tank most of the time. Completed 4000km.
FC is 12.85Km/L. Hope this infor is useful.

Today went in to pump at mysia caltex, after that smooth ride all the way home, FC drop to 8.8 L/100km... quite happy.

you got your road tax already? or act blur just go in?

this morning open mail box, got alot of mails inside, lol i think 1 week didnt open. Road tax inside.

Went mysia, the petrol checker walk here walk there chat with friends, didnt bother to stop anyone except 1 mysia car to check the whole car. lol

It must have be DAMN long since i went in woodlands.... the new custom routh so confusing!!! Want to pump from the caltax via old route but a bit lost, so went beyond perling to pump, got 3 petrol station there, little people and very big. Drove back to custom only 6km.

so how much does it cost now in M'sia ?

RM1.80 for petronas.
shld be the same as ESSO F1, Shell 97

i helped him by 'lut' his VTEC

i do my run in first b4 i go msia. hei hei hei...
jason, how to use cruise control?

agreed that 2L shldn't have prob keep the FC down.
i feel tat small road is v v high consuming.

now im getting abt 12L/100km = 8.33km/L

my friend's 2L worse...only about 7km/l sometimes 6.8km/l.

Bros,

Relax... The FC will settle down after the run-in period. Must have some faith is the system when the powers-that-be tested the 2-L model for fuel efficiency for them to post on an official website, right? The Gamma and Theta engines are very different engines after all?

=)

jason, how to use cruise control?

to start the cruise control system, press ON/OFF button and it will turn on. The green cruise word will appear on the dial.

once u comfortable with the speed u driving, push the level button to SET, the word SET will also appear on the dial.

During SET, when u want to cancel, either push the brake pedal or press the cancel button. The word set will disappear from the dial

During SET, when u want to over take cars, just press accelerator for quick pick up, once u let go pedal, it will return to the "set speed"

During SET, if u want to trim the speed a little slow or fast, just push the button lever + or -.

Once u dont want to use the cruise anymore, press the on/OFF button again to off.

sound complicated, but when u use, its relatively easy... enjoy

Lol 2 Liter is like that one, more horse power more respond and drink petrol, be gentle on the pedal and the FC should increase..... if really want to save petrol, monitor the RPM, make sure no aggressive spike, it should move up gently n solwly and dont let it go over 2KK RPM. might end up road hogging and make ur life miserable but save petrol lol

all brands' petrol @ RM1.80/l, except V-power RM2.05/l (i think)

OK shoot me dead if I am wrong, why bother about FC when u choose a 2L over a 1.6L in the first place when you had a choice?

lol the forum is to discuss mah, even when i drive, i dont really save FC by doing those... just discussing on how to increase FC since its a forum to discuss lol

FC = Fuel Consumption.

"discussing on how to increase FC" ???? Hmmm.........

ermm... typo lol decrease!

lucky u didnt say smack my pipi haha

Tish, you want to decrease your FC? Change to 15inch 195 tires with lightweight rims, pump the tires harder abit, press less gas, drive with windows up and aircon off, throw away all unneccesary items from your car (including front and rear passenger seats). Confirm your 2liter can achieve 15km/l. But is it worth it?

lol...
im now getting 10L/100km
50% highway 50% city

Lol, i agree that can decrease FC, but i was discussing on how to decrease Fc but not going to do it.

So far for my 2.0L I'm getting around 9.0~9.9L/km.... maybe due to me a slow driver.. lolz... I hardly go pass 2000rpm

traveling at 50% highway...

Just completed my 1st full tank since collection of my forte 1.6A SX. Meter show avg FC 7.7lts/100km or 12.98km/lts. Manual calculation is 518km / 40.7lts = 12.72km/lts. I think the meter quite accurate liao lah. Last pumped Esso 95. Today went to pump Caltex 92 and see the difference next top-up. Today mileage only 700km++ and i always try to maintain 2000rpm-2200rpm.....

ok, but occasionally must drive normally, all the way low rpm not good for the car i think...

presently happy with my SX2.0(M) FC... presently average FC meter indicate 8L/100km... still on 'run in'... will do manual calculation to confirm again...

lolz.. dont worry I will ram my rpm once I'm in Malaysia...in sg no point ram so hard since run abit traffic light.. sianz.. also less stepping on brake and keep using engine break to slow down the car also help also..

8L/100km is a v good consumption for 2L

EX 1.6 Auto average FC Improved to 12.97Km/L .

Better each week from 12.698Km/L to 12.8km/L n now 12.975Km/L.......

FC average is getting better after the 4000km mark as follow:

4190km travelled with 322.9Litres = 12.97km/L

Errr...because we want to have our cake and eat it? Because we ai pee ai chee? Yup, c'est moi.

Gradually I'm beginning to "kan kai" about not getting 10km/l and just enjoy the *growl* of the Theta engine.

Thats very good, currently I only manage 8.1l/1000km on my 1.6(A) SX. 50-50 also. But always kenna super congested road. Stuck on slow traffic for good 15mins yesterday.

Resetting everything today to check my FC again.

hmm I'm only at 10.1~3/100km... only... really need to do something to my car after 1k servicing..

2.0L

hmm.. hopefully u can do better after run-in.

Mine 1.6SX(A) on 17" average 8.5l/100km abt 11.8km/l but I happy with it as I am very heavy footed mostly city driving even during run in...

lukester wrote:hmm.. hopefully u can do better after run-in.

Thanks... I had already talk to my technician friend.. and he had look at my car and he asking me after 1K servicing send my car to his workshop and he will help me tweak to improve the FC..so see how it go.. will report back after my tweaking..

Was curious hw come nobody mention about pumping of tyres?

Actually it is advised to pump tyres everytime u pump petrol. FC will defer by alot if ur tyres r nt pumped frequently.

For me it takes only 3 weeks to go under 200 for my tyres, after pumping them the FC improved alot. Btw i always over pump abit to 225.

guess how much I pump... 250...

i pump 32psi

Today, while i was cruising along highway, i observed the avg FC meter shows 6.7lts/100.....WOW.....that means 14.925km/lts.....:0
