high fuel consumption for latio sedan 2007

(1/4) > >>

weili:
been driving for some time after getting my license this year
but the high fuel consumption have been on my mind
from the last servicing fuel consumption was pretty bad until they flush and change the oil and stuffs. It is better now but still clocking at about 1 litre for every 8.5-9.5km.
driving mainly on roads and seldom expressways
 :unsure:  :confused1:

Jazz:
Is your car stock ?

weili:
yes it it..

dthh:
Check your tyre pressure,
Or heavy foot?
Idle the car for long time more than 10mins?
What grade of petrol using?

weili:
front 270 rear 250 checking every 2 weeks.
bare foot most of the time and light footed acceleration to have a better feel.
usually if im waiting/stopping for more than 2mins i would turn off the engine
esso grade 98
pumping petrol at late night helps?
usually pump at night and self pump at slower speed than the 3 cache provided. heard it helps??  :confused1:

when im driving i open the windows and off the aircon but when with family members its usually on with either 1/2 fans between 24-26 degree
probably about 70% aircon and 30% without aircon and the range is about 8.5-9.5km/l.

what's the advise for accelerating from a stop at the traffic light?
light footed acceleration of about 1700-2100rpm or step about 2300-2600rpm until desired speed??  :confused1:

thanks for a the help and advise so far and future comments..  ;D
