Did u set ur air-con to Auto? Our latio Auto air-con mode not so smart....if u leave the temp set at 25 and below, when u first start ur car in the morning...the temp inside the car is definitely higher than 25 and the Auto mode will blow the air-con at max fan speed to cool the car to the temp tat u set....

what i am referring is actually on the outside of the car, each time I on the A/c after a few hours of inactivity, there is this loud hissing sound which last for a couple of seconds before it quieten down...

Well as for my FC this week, new record low, drop to 10.5km/ltr, top up indicator light up at only 380km...
and to make it a real bump of a week, got my first small dent and slight scratches on right passenger door...really sian

I think all Latio got the hissing sound la,no worries , we are all the same. As for the dent, i feel don't waste you money to do la cos maybe tomorrow u get 1 again.It's hard to stay dent-free in sg.

[burnolise]

I think left the dent alone lar....really not worth to fix a dent for a few hundren bucks....live with it and wait for the next idiot to bang u and repair it together....can save money.,....think abt it....with the dent......any other scratch tat u get along the way...u wun feel so hurt.....

Your FC figure may be due to inconsistent pump attendant practise la.  Some attendants stop at auto stop, while others continue to pump in a couple of litre.  Hence, if your previous top up stop at auto stop and the latest top up is up to the brink, the calculation will not be accurate and will give you a lousy figure.  Unless you top up both times to the brink only then the figure is more accurate.  Just like my FC can fluncture between 10+ to 13+ because I let the attendants to decide when they want to stop.  After top-up, sometime the needle is way past the full mark and sometime is closer to the full mark.  So it is not accurate one.

It is only at times that I really want to know the FC that I will make sure that the top-up is to the brink for two consecutive tanks and do the calculation accordingly.

Thats why dont park beside a van or lorry.. they dont care about your car when they opened door...
dunno why they have to open their door so hard...

[burnolise]

Also dun park too near next to a car with child seat inside....parents/children usually open their door wide and hard when getting in and out....saw some parents did it when i was near my car....the parent only told the child off when i was standing there staring at them with a fierce look......

The actual volume of petrol that you get also depends on the time of the day that you pump.

Generally, you get more petrol when you pump on a cool day, or early in the morning, when petrol is more dense and there is less evaporation.

the reason is becoz those  lorries the doors the spring mostly is spolit. so once they push the door open, it just open wide.  So they just cant b bothered .

Don't think the volume difference is so significant that it could affect FC by a noticeable figure.  For example, for a difference in FC of, say, 12.5 vs 12 km/l due to this reason, the difference is about 4%.  This means that for every 35 litres of petrol pumped, 1.4 litre is lost due to evaporation (-- not sure about the density part). This is a lot of petrol.

No way to escape one.  You may choose not to park beside van and lorry but after you have parked, they will come and park beside you.  No horse run one.  Just accept it lor.  Heng suay one la.  The fender area above the front left wheel of my previous car kenna so many times from lorries.  Only left side and not right.  I suspect it is because the lorry driver open the door till it touches my car, then he climb up and the lorry will be lowered a bit by his weight.  Hence, the mark.

my car also got little marks, dent and scratches kenna from other ppl's car doors..initially
felt very heart pain and angry but as time goes by, i can't be bothered liao..its juz part and
parcel of owning a car.

[law]

actually not all lorry/van will knock our car doors. my car always park beside lorry/van(not i choose hor, they come park beside me  ). so far ok. but there was once when i parked beside bmw. next day i saw passenger side door paint chipped off 

now i don't bother liao. even if i choose not to park beside lorry/van, they will still come and park beside me. don't wan to play hide and seek with them

Experience talk.

Not true that lorries and van causes the dents. 
I own an eurovan for 3.5year.  I always try to park next to decent car and not next to lorries or van but from experience cars were the one making the dents!  Dunno how they open the door!
