fri13th,
That is very remarkable fuel economy your Latio has.
I think it really puts the Honda Jazz to shame.
Is that mileage of 368.8km just a one-off or do you get it consistently?
Can you share with us your secrets to getting such record breaking fuel economy for Latio?
For me i have been consistantly getting 15km/l for the last 2 tanks after i change to carlube 5-40w synthetic oil and the last tank my car was left idiling with aircon on for about total of 2 hours with wife and kid inside while i go for errands and on my way back from jb jam on the causeway if not i think can easily get 16km/l......for me i used the hard break in for my engine during the first 1k running in period...during run in is 12km/l getting better with each tank.....dun fight against slopes where possible i go around 90 normally but i can be a bit siao sometimes wack until 5k rpm sometimes enjoy the adrenalin of driving fast fast
1) % highway/city driving? 70/30

i think we all have to drive smart lor....example like dun fight with gravity when going up slope and floor ur pedal....look further in front to anticipate the traffic lights changes....and also leave home 15 mins earlier everyday so we dun have to rush and ram our engine unnecessary. i think the method of break in during my first 1k milege also help
