hi arias

it's near the part where u "press" to open your boot.
after u open the boot, u just pay attention to that 'part', u can try to press to listen to the noise....
u will get me.

What i feel is that as long as your boot can open properly and not affecting your driving and comfort, should be not a big  issue.  :smile:

What is that boot sound? Kind to explain further?

Eh ... you will notice it in the near future, no worry. Quite hard to explain sound.  :smile:

Good mileage got anything to do with petrol and RON ?  :out:

It more towards your weight of the car plus best your right foot.

Some have claimed that SPC 95RON gives worst mileage and Shell 95RON gives best mileage, although Shell V Power does give poor mileage.

Some forumers here have also claimed that 92RON gives poor mileage as they needed to step more on the acelerator to move the car.

Good mileage is also dependent upon proper tuning, regular oil change and tyre pressure. A light car with a light footed driver will also drink if it's running on underinflated tyres, tuned to the high end for sporty driving and not serviced accordingly to schedule.

Hi all, like to find out what is the best FC for ~3yrs old latio out there (mine is premium) as mine best FC is ard 15km/ with 90% hw and 10 town area (when i'm in Malaysia) and usually pump SPC98 (as got total disc of 11%, now the price after disc sb ~$1.7++/l) and Shell V power in Malaysia. As in Singapore, with 60% HW and 40 Housing area, the best FC is ~12km/l (has never hit 12km/l b4, almost there)..

**p/s: noticed quite a no of lations can hit 14km/l and above but not really see many can hit the same with latio aged ~3yrs+ (correct me if i'm wrong..)

Hearsay again or you have tried and tested yourself ?

On top of what I have mentioned above beside weight and control right foot, plan your route well, and besides this different people have different driving habits.

Why some claimed that 92 has no power, in fact is the same, it just a mindset that 92 is cheaper therfore 1 tend to step more for power, it doesn't contribute to FC for RON ratings. Example, do you feel more energetic drinking Starbuck coffee to kopitiam coffee ?

If a person care for his car FC, beside good maintenance, of coz he will take note of his tyre pressure since this is the most affortable and basic knowlegde.

So pls understand and learn more before reply with craps of groundless replys.

I thought getting 530km then topping up 37-38l for my case already very good, but to get more than 600km, wow  :thumbsup:

u will get me.

iagree, I did a try this morning. Basically when I pressed the boot opener button while the boot is closed, I can heard first 'part' sound, then if I follow the momentum to lift up my boot, I heard second 'part' sound. Another scenario is, with my boot opened, press the boot opener button, and I heard two 'part' sound continuously. My conclusion is, you would have two
