ahboon:
using SPC 95. can hit 14.95km/l for my previous tank haha. Mostly highway driving though.

13-14km/l
mix highway and city...imo latio most efficient when cruising at 100kph and one should occasionally goes up to 4-5krpm and 120-140kph to work the engine and let the onboard chip learn...
if i drive slowly... my car eats petrol faster...

How can be most efficient at 100kph with strong wind resistance and high rpm? Are you cvt or 4at?
MadMatty:
My ride is coming up to the two year mark in 3 months time. So far beginning used only 95 from Esso and now switched to 92...don't see any significant difference cos my average FC is still 11.00 to 11.5km/ltr.

misconception that driving slowly saves fuel.
if you look at charts, when the car is in the overdrive gear and going at optimum speeds, it consumes the least.
1 2 and 3rd gear consumes more petrol as they are considered "picking up" gears.
cheers bro.
you will be surprised at the fc you get when you drive normally and not extremely frugally.
i used to clock 12km/l on my latio, 30% city, 70% highway, and half the time i am on wideopen throttle and high rpms to pick up and when i reach 90km/h, i just cruise..

I agree, but optimum speed for 4AT is around 60km/h, that's the least possible speed for overdrive gear. Wind resistance not very big as well.
Saying Latio most efficient at 100km/h is just wrong, the RPM and wind resistance is too high. Cruising at that speed will only give you 16km/l at most, cruising at 60km/h can get 20+km/l.
