Fuel Consumption

SPC 92... As always. =) 650-Km++ from a full tank after the warning light comes up... easy.

1 word to describe, 'superb'
i always get 11L/100KM

Just for info, when the fuel to emply distance less then 10km the amber light will light up. When distance less than 5km the red warning light will blick and display "Distance to emply tank"

i think the meter reading for fuel consumption is inaccurate.tried many time.same driving habi,same location,same traffic,same speed.But readig differs.best is calculate yourself.

Yup, when fuel tank almost empty i pump about 47L. I think forte fuel tank is about 52L

Wow, you so good 10KM before empty then amber light lid up, my SX(A) 60KM before empty already amber light come out. Maybe something is worng for my fuel gauge.
Maybe need some re-calibration..

yeah.. mine too.. manuals says 50km.. Disc to empty - will blink.. and is critical already..
and my amber light on around 70km... come to think.. its no point highlighting with 10km remaining right? driver will not be able to do anything liao by then, (SG ok lar) but if you travel up north.(NSwh?)

Dear bros, sorry and correction. Is my typo error. Fuel to emply distance less then 100km the amber light will light up. When distance less than 50km the red warning light will blick and display "Distance to emply tank"

Short of one zero make alot of difference. bai sai.

Bros & Sistas,

Between Esso 5000 & Shell 95. Which one gives a better FC or is it
individual preference? Thanks.

Is 10 km/l ok for my 5 days old Forte?? Wat should be the expected FC??

Y bother man, just drive the way u like ur forte to be driven. The range of FC is probably between 7km/L to 16km/L based on the posts on this forum so taking the average....10-12km/L should be about there lah.

Used to pump esso5000... now pump esso2000 and FC improved!

I also realised for my current ride, ron 92 works better most of the time giving better FC. But also might be psychological since you know the power not there, you also wont rev.

But would Esso2000 decrease the engine efficiency?
By the way, what is the difference recorded for this 2 type?

i beg to differ
used to pump spc95
then changed to spc92 and found fc improved slightly
and most amazingly more pulling torque!
thats what i experienced

there is a thread here somewhere that says higher octane does not means better fuel... i am convinced after reading the explanation...

In fact when i pump esso2000, I was more heavy footed... Psychologically, it is cheaper so jus step lah...

I have also changed to Esso 2000. Pay less to get better FC... why not?

I read this and have decided to stick to Esso 2000.

Good info.

Thanx

yeah... but pls dun go too hang up on FC... unless it really way off... 20L/100km, a lot of things are beyond our control (traffic, weather, unmodified right foot, too many pedestrian lanes) that affects our FC.... enjoy the ride and pump up the volume....

JuanST.... I agree with u. There r so many factors affecting FC.... If I buy Forte and worry about FC - it brings unnecessay stress .... just drive the way u like it as long as u r HAPPY.

+1, haaa.. esp bro after you fixed your meter rite? heee...

from my view, forte n cerato FC is quite good 1, manual 1.6 wif 15inch rims will get at least 12-14kmL.

Think many of us just based on the meter readings which may not be accurate. Also for the first few K of driving the FC is usually not as good because of

1. Running in
2. We are not used to our car and FC suffers because of that

In anycase like most said dun worry too much unless it is way off.

1.6A SX odo at about 10k... fc is about 10 km/l on RON92 petrol
i'm a heavy footer and myself heavy too (85kg)

sorry hijack this thread a bit.. is it ok to mix fuel? means mix brand.. sometimes i pump SPC, then use half tank.. i see Shell got offer, i pump shell.. then half tank again.. i switch to other brands. any issues? coz tomorrow got shell offer $1 per litre, and i am originally on SPC ..now only half tank used up. any comments?

actually, just my own opinion. If it is just 1/4 tank no point pumping also. Your savings at most is 5-8 bucks. Most of us have discounts tt made the cost of the petrol to ard 1.5-1.6 for ron 98 already. If you managed to squeeze full tank 47litres 27 bucks one tank of savings is subtantial. 1/4 tank would be ard 6 bucks with the potential queuing and "wasting" of idling engines may not be worth it.

Say so much, i'll still go lol cos my tank left 1/4 i think shld be near empty by tmrw already.

can no problem...dont mix with water can already, hahah

Anyone better than this? I thought this is simply superb!


Just can't understand how the meters work????

hi, bro..potatoes
if you must see these figures on your meter.. you can always reset avg FC during cruising... haaa.. you get 5.9also..! woo..
but i think so far this is the best!... haa

mine hovering on 7.6~8l /100 now.. odo at 4.8k... good?

Wah.... so fast u hit almost 5K liao and u only got ur ride in Aug. My ODO just touch 7K.
I would always reset all my metering (ie Avg FC, Trip A , Trip B, etc) when I pump full tank. I thought this is most accurate way of measurement of FC.

Bro Waypoint is really impressive. With only 2 marks to empty, he still have (Dist to empty)230km to go.... as for me, 230km Dist to Empty is only at Half way mark (4 marks to empty). Care to share how u do it?

y lor.. mine best can only gt 8.3 l/100 lor

Thats my dream FC !
Hope i can reach 600km for a full tank after my 6k servicing next week.
But dont think so, cos currently only can barely cross over 500km for a full tank.

Mine after changing the Rims...

From 10.5L/100km to 9.2L/100km...

But based on 30-40% city & 60-70% highway driving.
