BS laa... how difficult can it be? on each gas pump, reset the meter to 0 until next gas pump, see how much has been pumped.
distant run/gas pumped = kml
How difficullt or wrong could that be????

Yes, totally agree with you!
I've been doing the same thing for many months (and many years to my previous WRX).
For Latio, I'm constantly getting 15km/L to 17km/L, for WRX, I'm getting 9km/L to 11km/L.
Even not accurate during pumping the petrol into the tank (+-1L, pump by myself to fuel flow out), the fc still within the ranges.
Fuel does not self generate or disappered too much from your tank, and odometer does not add or reduce vastly within every tank you pump in.
So how not accurate is beyond me. This is simple measurement, accuracy is above 95%, especially accurate if you do maintain the measurement tank after tank!

wah, 15 to 17kml!!!! Your petrol cham chui(add water) one is it? hehe...
You do not turn on AC most of the time? I really wonder what it takes to achieve such mileage coz there's no MT for latio. Even light footed can't reach such mileage.
Dantebao:
Good FC is very possible with Latio.
My average is 15.2km/l for 30 Full Tank from 13 Oct 07 till now. (yes.. i keep track of how many tank and each tank's FC :yehyeh:)
My Latio Sports (4AT) is Totally Stock except for - Undercarriage bracing, roll bar & struct bar.
How i achieve my FC
- A/C is set to 24
- Tire Pressure ==> 260 front 250 back :bleh:
- very very gradual acceleration (below 2K) BUT my cruising speed is 100 to 110. :devil2:
- Travel by expressway whenever possible if the distance from minor road is less than 15% differ
good FC can be achieve... the only question is how
cheers

It's possible. No A/C + long trips (mostly ~35km per trip, with short A/C short trips thrown into the mix) + 75% HW + try not to touch your brakes + drive slower than Grandma (rpms strictly < 2k) = 21.9km/l (record tank). Really. Try it. It's addictive. It feels good every time you top your previous high score ;-).
Things that kill FC:
- unnecessary idling
- frequent short trips
- start/stop traffic
- unnecessary braking
- carrying unnecessary loads
- under-inflated tyres
- A/C
- speed (wind resistance is proportional to the square of your speed). Do 80km/h with A/C @ Fan:1/Temp:26C instead of 110km/h with A/C @ Fan:2/Temp:20C. Big difference in FC.
Those times where I have no choice but to drive start/stop traffic (<<50% HW) and short trips (~5km), FC drops to ~14km/l. :-(.

Good points...I second your opinion.
I do most of the above factors except :
1) I usually travel in the morning (6.50am) without aircon along PIE for 15km
2) Use A/C for the rest of the day (must enjoy a bit, I usually set the A/C to 24~26C)
3) The rest factors same as yours...
My last tank achieved 17km/L, break my previous record of 16.6km/L. Hoo Ray... :thumbsup:
And yes, damn addictive game...GOOD FOR YOUR WALLET AND ENVIRONMENT TOO... :bleh:
