My FC averages 12.5km/l and I travel about 2000km a month. My petrol expenses is only $120 per month.
How? Pump in JB lor! My yearly saving is at least $1,440 and I don't even need any special driving skills or techniques. :yehyeh:

HAHAHAHA I LIKE WAD YOU SAID!

My sylphy went in Shell Vpower at the Shell after checkpoint. sibei cheap i tell you.
Full tank only about 58 Ringgit!  :devil2:
Modifications are NEVER ending only if your wallet's money is NEVER ending.

One must learn how to control his spending on MODIFICATIONS. (:

BUT, i dun care. So? MODIFICATIONS IS YES FOR ME!

Now i cant get back the 315km at half tank. I used to have it while on shell 95. When i switch to esso 5000, FC dip alot.. but even i revert to shell 95, i cant get the mileage anymore...puzzling!




Thanks.

I've tried Shell V power, Esso 98 & 95, all yield almost similar results.

My travel pattern : 85% h/w, 15% urban.

From moving off, RPM around 2100 (mine is CVT), and at highway, my average speed is usually 90~100km/h on the fast lane (not slow speed at the center lane)

As for the fuel meter marking :
3rd quarter mark    : 150km
half mark              : 320km
last quarter mark    : 510km
Fuel warning light   : 580km
Highest km/tank     : 660km (42litles pump in, the f/c for this instance was 15.7km/l)

So actually I'm very please with 16km/l, like this car so much!

BTW, since you can achieve 315km with shell 95 at half tank, I think you are doing well too!

Which shows that fuel doesn't affect FC. Probably a change in your driving patterns.
