Helloz...
Just bought a Nissan Latio HB yesterday (2nd hand) and pump my first petrol at SPC 8000. I thought latio was kinda of Fuel Economic but for 1 bar of petrol i only manage to travel ard 70km. I travel on mostly highway today... is the 'brand' of petrol crucial to the FC??

Hi bro.
Hope you're enjoying your new ride. I share your concern as I was pretty much in the same boat as you were when i first bought my 2nd hand sedan but I slowly learnt a couple of things when I did a search on the other threads posted and shared by our learned bros who have, under their belts, a wealth of driving experience:
1. based on the car manual, Ron92 grade fuel is good enough to power the car.
2. the amount of fuel efficiency depends how consciencious you are as a driver in terms of your footing on the accelerator. i believe you will notice some improvement in fc when you go light-footed. i've been driving my latio for about 4-5 months now and i am achieving about 236km on a half tank.
3. practise defensive driving - i believe this helps to cut down the over-revving of your vehicle in many road situations. e.g. avoid the right-most lane if possible, because when you're the first vehicle and stop at the lights, the car behind is prob gonna be chasing you. so, avoid stuff like that. ego is only 5sec on the road.
Hmm. i believe there are other more obvious factors like your load of the car etc, there's a wealth of information in this forum, so just run a search and you should be able to benefit from the wealth of experience from our bros who were kind enough to share them. i wish you well in experimenting your FC! :thumbsup:

alright thanks bro...
so far been quite comfy with the ride (2 days) but i think the FC is really the problem for me. I'm hitting almost 80% highway due to work and i hope this ride can fulfil me
=)

1 bar = 1/4 tank or 1 bar = 1 sub-marking to the next?

Hi bro, dun worry, for the 1st bar, it normally to hit between 70 - 80 km for latio! After the 1/2 tank mark, the fuel needle will move quite slowly! I can actully hit 450-480km untill the Refill Tank Light lights up.
