Full tank
- Ensures your fuel tank will not rust
- Your fuel pump has an easier job due to the pressure from the fuel
- Heavier car which translates to a little higher fuel consumption (neg).
1/2 tank or less
- Lighter car since more economical
- Fuel tank may rust, but this is not an issue if you drive daily
- Fuel pump works harder

moral of the story? pump your petrol to full when empty! LOL

My Latio FC has been dropping quite drastically after each servicing. I just completed my 30K servicing. I noticed that the low fuel indicator normally lights up after 35Ltr and for me initially I have only hit about 420km. But now it has dropped significantly from 400km to 380km traveled. My driving pattern has not changed all these while. Yet the FC has. My calculation of FC is based on the mileage traveled/amount of fuel from last top up. It has been doing about 11.5km/ltr average but last few rounds dropped down to less then 11km. I used RON 92 for my fuel as I found that were no significant difference between the various grade. Complaining to the those technician doesn't seems to help much. Now I guess I am stuck with a lemon of a car. One thing I know for sure, my next car definitely won't be another Nissan.

Perhaps you could request Tan Chong not to reset the ECU after each servicing so that your ECU does not have to re-learn your driving habits.
