My FC Getting Better With Low RPM
clarence:
Wow! That is absolutely amazing and impressive! :thumbsup:
You can rev to excess of 5,000rpm (almost redline) and still achieve a consistent good Fuel Consumptiom of 17/18km/litre! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Are there any special techniques to achieve your record breaking fuel economy?

fri13th,
You may have missed this.
We look forward to your reply on how you managed to achieve this remarkable record breaking 17 to 18km/l feat on your Latio despite almost red lining to over 5000rpm (redline is 6500rpm).
Please share your secret with us.

Dear Clarence,
i did not miss ur question....its that i am lazy :bleh: to post my driving pattern again which i posted b4 previously in this thread but nvm lar i will do it once more for u :thumbsup:
1) % highway/city driving? 70/30
2) Brand and RON petrol used? mobil 5000
3) Tyre Pressure? Front 270, Back 250
4) Driving with air con turned on or off? Air con on 100% set temp at 23-24
5) Drive mostly during the day or at night? 50/50
6) Brand of engine oil used? amsoil 5-30w

i think we all have to drive smart lor....example like dun fight with gravity when going up slope and floor ur pedal....down slope time press more to pick up speed faster....look further in front to anticipate the traffic lights changes the lesser u use ur brakes the better ur fc....and also leave home 15 mins earlier everyday so we dun have to rush and ram our engine unnecessary and can enjoy a safe and pleasant drive :thumbsup:
clarence:
Very impressive.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Your Latio is really one in a million. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Even when I just drive alone, mostly highway driving, never rev above 2500rpm, travel at 80km/h, air con thermostat set at 26 degrees, best I got was 14km/l.
Toalson:
Fantastic! :thumbsup:
Well your driving pattern almost similar to mine however as mine is still a heavy small korean car till i get my new ride :smile: and I managed to achieve 12km/L
