Latio not as good as mention.....

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'.

Hmm.....this particular photo looks doggy....likes like photoshop enhanced.....hahaha......

AMAZING 19.37km/l based on half tank using up 20 litres.      

Can share with us -

1. What brand of petrol and octane used?
2. Engine oil used?
3. Tyre pressure?
4. How many people usually in car when you drive?
5. HIghway/City % driving mileage?

wahlau i dont believe it
maybe it's the driver lah!
anybody wanna exchange car for 1 week! i don't believe it! either my car uplorry, or my foot somehow got lead tie to it and i dunno! arghghghghghghhgg!!! my current tank half mark is barely 200+km!

Very soon, forumer 'LaChio' will be accused by other fourmers of "conveying wrong message and mis-leading here."

I agreed with detach8....we exchange car for a week...and we shall see if it is the art of driving or the skill of photoshop.....

whalau! very hard to compare leh how many of u live in west and work in town.. maybe given the same route easier to compare!

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?

it takes me 5 min at most to fill up my tank...  hmmm.  How many litres do u pump in each time?  Your latio might have the wrong tank installed inside.  Maybe its the 1.8 litre latio tank which i think is 52 litres compared to the 1.5 litre latio 45 litre tank

It is not 19.37 km/l la.  It is total mileage divided by 33 litres (since after supposedly to be full still can pump another 13 litres).  That is below 12 km/litre.

[clarence]

You mean Latio petrol tank, between 'full' and '1/2' tank level is 33 litres?

So between '1/2' tank level and 'empty' level is only 13 litres?

Can anyone confirm?

I live in Bt Panjang and my office is at Paya Lebar...how's tat??

I only know the petrol needle does not moves down linearly....my previous altis and my M3 all seems to move from full to 1/2 tank slowly...but from 1/2 tank to lights very quickly.....

But latio seems to be the opposite lei....from full to 1/2 tank quite fast and then from 1/2tanks to lights takes a long time....so at 1/2 tank mark, it does not mean u really 1/2 tank.....i think it is just an estimation only....

[clarence]

If what you said is correct, then one can get only 13km/l when hit 387km at 1/2 tank.

Most hit 300km or less at 1/2 tank, which translates to 9km/l or less.

Looks like Latio fuel economy is pretty bad, similar to 2000cc car.

Hi Bro, No la.  You got me wrong.  What I meant is that the other bro said that after the auto stop, he can pump another 13 litres into his tank.  Since the auto stop means the tank is almost full and most of us can squeeze in another 3 litres (approx) only and as he can squeeze in another 13 litres, this means that he uses half tank plus 13 litres to travel the mileage as stated in his thread lor.  The latio tank capacity is 45 litres (which includes the reserve 8 litres (approx)), half tank mark to empty level cannot be only 13 litres la.  The top half tank volume is smaller than the bottom half tank volume for latio.  In any case, the fuel gauge not accurate one.  Sometimes at 3/4 mark, mileage travel only 100 km and at half mark travel 230 km.  At other times, 3/4 mark can travel 150 km and half mark at 270 km.  In both cases, I calculated the FC to be about the same.  (-- I used to pump till the brink so that it can last me for one whole week.  Since topping up each pump is from brink to brink, the FC calculation should be correct.)

Here's another one to make you all drool.



All the pics were shot with my N95 8GB handphone. I used photobucket to post them here leh and not photoshop wor.

I also hope somebody can tell me how come my tank is like that. Went to TC Ubi, they said best to leave it alone. Went to TC TP, one SC told me it's quite ok, his ride can pump in 8 ltrs. But anyway, me been servicing at Autosaver since 20k, not going back to TC anymore. Ok, next time me go pumping in JB, you all meet me there lor. Can take over and help me to squeeze also good. Very tiring and embarassing lei. ******** tank like can never be full like that.

best way to measure... u divide the mileage u manage to get by how many litres u pump...whether u squeeze in 13 litres or 1 litre doesn't matter. :)  more accurate km/litre

Ya agree. Latio fuel tank is in this shape  / \
Whereby most car are in this shape \ /
Therefore our first half used up faster than other but very slow on the second half

By your reasoning (our first half used up faster), I'm already getting 400km. And (very slow on the second half), that means I will be getting more than 400km for the next half lor?

Hmm...... or have they installed my tank upside down?

To answer your question, what is your FC like in general?

... i dun think so... unless u road hog..
did not reset your meter and left 100km after your last pump iszi?? i can make it 1000km as well and take photo with Nokia phone
latio is fuel efficent... but not tat efficient...
