Latio not as good as mention.....

[clarence]

30mins for a fuel topup * Jawdrop *

Not worth the trouble as a lot of petrol would have evaporated in the process.

U telling me that?

[clarence]

Wow, 13 more litres.  Wonder how many litres of petrol in total are in your tank?  Is it still 45 litres or has it way exceeded the 45-litre tank capacity size?

Sometimes, I pumped till the brink and can see the petrol.  Still it is about 3 litres more only, and definitely does not take more than 5 minutes.

If you squeeze to the last drop and pump to the brim, on a hot day, petrol will expand and drip out.

Hi Fickle,
I never waited until warning light comes on to check the mileage. Otherwise it will cost me a bomb to top up to 3/4 to go into JB. Haven't pump local fuel for long time liao.

One thing I like to check with you. Everytime when topping up the fuel tank and the pump trigger auto ejects, I can still squeeze in another 13 ltrs. The process is painstaking. I can only squeeze in 200-300 ml at a time and wait for the fuel to flow slowly into the tank then repeat the process all over again. It takes me 30 mins to fill the tank completely on each pumping session. Are you experiencing the same thing?

That is incredible, man.

Our tank is only 45 litre leh. For me, I can only squeeze in another 3 litres after auto eject.

Just curious, did you mod your fuel tank?

yes experience that before and some more sawlots of bubbles flowing out from the tank.

Thank God that time I am driving rental car. If not, the overflowed petrol will damage the paint work.

this is what i got for 1/2 tank yesterday...

That looks excellent. With 350km to a half tank, it looks like you're all set for a 20+km/L tank?

[car_man]

Er.... sorry, who said it's impossible to hit 300km at half tank? I am now getting 333.7km and the the needle is still only halfway between 1/2 and 3/4.

That is very very amazing.. Will never get so good FC in 4AT. Wonder if you hit 650km when empty

[baobao]

This is the best i can do...  not even 300 at 1/2 tank 

[hwchang]

Maybe u forgot to reset ur meter after u pump?? haha....

[detach8]

i have ever hit 300km at half mark. but tht's like only ONCE. even then when i get 300km at half mark my fuel light comes on near 500km so the reading is not consistent throughout the fuel gauge, maybe cos of the shape of our fuel tank.
anyhow i think alot of those who hit 300km++ half tank are on CVT so it does show the gearbox makes a whacky diff!

Dear Bros,
My latio coming to one year already...overall still very happy with it. I believed we all weighted the plus and minus before choosing latio. yes its not a performace car and some minor aspect is not as good.... however overal it serve me well.

1. I love the fuel condumption. its at 14km/l... now i change work place and driving on highway 90% of the time, its amazing that I am having 15km/l!

2. The interior space is large enough to bring my whole family.. I love weekend 

3. The boot is big enough for me to put 2 folding bike...these appearently become impt part of my life...

4. recently in my 20k servcing (actually 27k liao)with autosaver, they comment that my rear absorber leaking...  They advice me to bring back to TC. I was damn sian cos I am near broke..very busy .. and tis a new car mah...
anyway TC was quite good. they use computerised testing...found nothing ..then they hoist the car to check...eventually can hte absorber for FREE... under warranty mah... So we are lucky to have bought from a trustworthy dealer...

Hence come to of it..not too bad lah..

Is this hearsay?

Any truth in this?

Some forumers, like 'Jazz' and 'fri13th' just expressed their doubts on this statement.

[detach8]

well just look at the pump when u r pumping. if you squeeze to max, you will see alot of "fumes" coming out. that's petrol my friend. although it is not significant (probably a few milliliters at the end of the day), over 100 tanks of refill this may add up to a litre or so.

and for sure petrol expands on a hot day just like any liquid. pumping at wee hours give you more dollar for the buck.

zylon: that's it! i'm gonna bring for a checkup @ autosavers :S

Hello, when did I doubt about petrol evaporate? Even water do evaporate. You really 

[LaChio]

Ok guys, my mileage at half tank.



It's true, I can squeeze in another 13 ltrs after pump trigger auto ejects. I ever told the people at TC Ubi service centre about it and asked them to check my fuel tank. But they said best to leave it alone. The problem is it takes too damn long to fill to the brim. Maybe Malaysian petrol contains melamine and my fuel tank kena kidney stones? It won't overflow because once you start your car and move off, the fuel is already being burnt and consumed. Aiyo, have lah! After filling up, I always reset meter A & B to '0'.
