Swee! Thanks!

How come no one discuss on SPC? I got discount for 12% then Amex card additional -$3. But I not sure about the quality of SPC 98. Maybe engine more noisy.

Maybe SPC closing down soon??

If I'm not wrong SPC is being bought by a china company

hmm.. hopefully no melamine in the petrol can already

I using SPC ron 92 most of the time. Overall quite good FC for me hitting 12km/l now only 3k only done 1st servicing on mineral oil.

i using esso 92 now... 92 is better den 95 leh... 98 the FC is almost same as when i pump 92... now i stick to 92 for the moment... lol

Usually u wont see a big difference in FC but response maybe slightly different.

I decided to give caltex 98 another chance.. So far for this new tank.. I'm getting around 10km/l.. Significant improvement from 8.5km/l..

Still working on my leg powers.. And now i try to speed whenever possible!

I realised i did not pump extra. I am also getting about same mileage as the first few tanks.
Maybe getting used to the bitting point more dun anyhow rev already.

I am still playing around with different brands and grades of fuel. I just want to see how My Forte react to different fuel. My Vios eventually uses SPC 92 98% of the time because it gives the best km/$.

KingJerry, do not be overly concern with FC. I think we should look at km/$ instead. That is how far every $ you spent on the fuel can cover. This is calculated by using FC (km/l) divided by cost of petrol ($/l). It's savings on $ rather than savings on fuel (l) that matters. I realise the FC differs not a lot between different grades and brands. Power also can't feel much different. But the money spent for the same distance has significant differences.

I think for your case, you should try to use more expressway. Your FC will improve a lot.

Actually i'm just curious why i'm getting 8.5 while others are getting 10+! Hehe..

Still, i think ill try all grades and all brand of petrol..

Its your right foot....hehehehe

i get 13-14l/km. 80%highway, 20% city

junming can see ur right foot is quite light

Yalor for auto can get 13-14l/km is feather foot liao. My manual also get 14l/km.

I think after i change oil to syn then can hit this.

Ever since I changed to Shell fuelsave 95/98, have been able to hit 12-13km/L. 50%HW 50%city

Hahaha.. i think so.. also i let my car go N when down slop. normally i will roll for 1 km then i change back to D

fwah.. my car just clocked 1000km.

Just changed Eo and my current FC is ~12km/L

am driving 1.6EX M btw.

now trying th shell fuel save 95 see got diff ma. haha

Now finished 2/3 tank of my 2nd Caltex 98.. FC around 10km/l..

Still not very good.

Tomorrow i'm going to pump $50 of Caltex 95.. If still cannot make it.. I'll change to Shell..

dun rely on the computer too much.
Use manual if u want.
i.e pump lights up pump until full dun pump extra. Go one full tank see can go how far until next lights up. Pump 2nd tank, use the mileage to divde by the 2nd tank. u get ur average FC for the last tank. Do a few then u will know.

The computer one i think not very zhun also. Seems like giving better FC than actual. Manual calculation is ard 12.5km/l for me but computer giving 13.5km/l.

I pumped $50 of caltex 95.. Can't feel any difference from 98.. Going to monitor the FC now..

Auto gear box is not cheap. By doing so may spoil the gear box. For maunal gear are different.

first 3 years engine and gear box warranty

If I'm not wrong. Warranty only cover engine. Gear box consider wear and tear so no cover.

I've been getting around 12.5km/l (prob 60-65% highway)for the previous few tanks... This tank travel more highway (like 80%?) got 13.5km/l... Oh, mine is still using Mineral Oil, 1.6SX manual.

eddie

mine.. too.. now.. almost every tank could hit.. at 7.6~8l/100km.. about 12 -13km.. odo at 7k... good? still on mineral wor.. really syn could do better?

Wah.. Everyone seems to be able to get 11 and above except me!

I'm at 10.5km/l for my 1.6 SX(A).. Going for my 1k servicing next week..

I was at around +- 10.5km/l all the while, until 3 days ago I decided to pump 92 to see the difference. Since then, I noticed slightly better FC. Just came back from outside, the meter was showing 8.6km/l before I get off from my ride.

Funny! When using 92, the FC is better than when using 95?

Will monitor further...

haha bro trust me. i am a ex car salesman. first year warranty the whole car. 2nd and 3rd years engine and gear box

good day:)

Wah! Today i pumped another $50 of caltex 95.. And reseted all my meters..

Drove 108.1km today (80% highway, 20% city).. And guess what, i got a FC reading of 6.7l/100km at the end of today. Thats around 14.95km/l?

Now, my total mileage is 1,513km.. Going for 1k servicing next week.

Going to continue to monitor and manually calculate the FC after i finish the tank. But from pervious FC meter readings, it always very close to the manual calculation.

Full tank on Caltex 95 lasted me 550km. Guess our fuel tank size is 52 lit, that wld mean 10.57 km/lit. Gosh that's really bad isnt it? Based on the fuel efficiency label, we should be getting 14.5km/lit right?

Mine is an 1.6 EX(M), I drive 30% highway 70% city, and those were my first 550km since collection. Just pumped full tank again n going to monitor. Hopefully it improves. Really perplexed, dont know watz wrong.

I don't think can fill until 52l unless you stop pump, stop pump.. The last time i went for a full pump (after seeing the low fuel light), i was only able to pump 48l..

Don't need to be perplexed la, FC improves with subsequent pumps i think. My first full tank i only managed 8.5km/l..

this is my consumption on the NH Highway, speed is between 100 to 140, when I am on 140 consumption is slightly higher....

not so bad at all....

You are not alone... i am also on 92...
Not surprising cos our ride is designed to use unleaded petrol of RON91 and higher (just checked my car manual)...

Have notice that FC is improving slightly, with every new tank...

I guess that's dependent on the weight of what's in the car as well...

Mine is 8l / 100km.

4 adults, 2 kids. trunk full (Aprox 30-40kg)...

"Improving slightly with every new tank..."

Definitely I will go for 92 for the next pump to feel it!

How do you calculate #L/km? the display shoes 10.8L/100 km.... Thanks!!

patsy wrote:How do you calculate #L/km? the display shoes 10.8L/100 km.... Thanks!!

I think you are asking for km/L right?

Juzt talk 100 (km) and divide the X (L) to get (X)km/L.

But if you still want km/L, juz divide the other way round...

Not that long la...

100km+ drive 2 hrs including the causeway @ 2nd link?

For me no point getting an MPV cos most of the time, it's only 2 adults and 2 kids...

The 2 other adults were my parents.

2 kids as in 1 - 7 year old who sat in the back middle seat, 1 - 3 year old who sat on an adult's lap.

it was a little uncomfortable for the lap of the person who my 3 year old was sitting on... but other than that... my folks were pretty comfy on that ride.

1 - car was smooth @ 130km/h average.
2 - air cond was cold enough

however... the pick up was horrendous... but understandable considering the total weight on the car.
*Aprox 350kgs total in the car...
