mine is only about 4000km out...and so far I have monitored only about 11.5km/lt max...well i really hopes that the FC will improve once above 5k if not dun know but "tak boleh tahan" if it continues to be such a "drinker"...

for my case, after my 5k servicing>>> my FC is still 11.5km/l....

i also maintain my rev ard 2000 to 2500... My speed sometime go up to 110km/hr when driving on highway but i make sure that my engine rev is ard 2300 to 2500

overall still FC 11.5km/l....

Am i considered heavu foot .????

Abt 2.5K now..cos I got another fren..bought same time..same model as me, maybe my 15kg +/- weight really makes so much diff...he got abt 13-14 even when running in. Hopefully after 5K, things get better..

I also managed to clock 14.2 on my last tank..  ;D not sure will it be better after changing to syth oil from TCM..

fickle,

That is awesome mileage that puts Toyota Vios and Honda Jazz owners to great shame.  :thumbsup:

Can you share with us -

1. What brand engine oil you use?
2. Synthetic or mineral?
3. 10W40?
4. Tyre pressure?
5. Petrol brand and octane?
6. % highway/city driving?
7. No. of people usually in your car?
8. Do you usually drive without your air con?

I think if assume he still left 2-3L in his tanks and he pump ard 42L, his comsumption would be 15.1km/L. If he pump ard 40L for full tank, it would be 15.8km/L... all and all, it amazing as my 4AT would never reach that good, not even near.

Well, I always pump when the tank is left with about 1/4 on the meter, Mostly it tend to work out to be on the upper band of 12+km per litre and I won't exactly consider myself light footed, trips are not too long, Pasir to Paya Lebar then to Katong for breakfast and will end up at Marina Sq and night is always Marina Sq to Pasir Ris 95% of the time.

The SA told me, they will pump a full tank petrol, then u accompany them drive ard HW n city mixture etc and they will connect up a meter to record milleage n FC to see if anything is wrong.

my next trip to TCM, I will ask them for it...keep u updated

Send your Latio to Tan Chong to rectify for free since it is under warranty.

After sitting idle in the warehouse fo 1 year, such problems are common.

Hi Jazz,

Oh, rev to 3000rpm?

My FC improves after chg my tyres to GR80 from (stock Toyo).

Haha. Not sure chun or not.

My rpm hit 4000rpm on msia's NSHW if i drive above 140km/h.

Normal speed will maintain 2000rpm at 100km/h.


Regards.
