My FC Getting Better With Low RPM

I get 10+km/l at best if I drag the engine beyond 5,000rpm.
When I drag past 5,000rpm, by 2nd gear, I am almost at 100km/h.

Sorry, what I meant to say was that if one could get 17~18km/L by flooring it and getting to 5k rpm, then he should be able to get even better mileage by avoiding that... There must be some magic in the technique because I don't think I can get anywhere near 17~18km/h if I accelerate like that. Perhaps there could be a group meet to teach the technique? It would be easy to monitor the effectiveness in an FL Latio with the instantaneous+average FC meter. Now if TCM could retro-fit that FC meter into the pre-FL Latio...

Hi guys! let me clear something on my acceleration at 5k rpm......i normally only do that when i am filtering into the expressway to reach my cruising speed of about 90km/hr and time taken is only a few seconds in 5krpm after that speed is reach i will relax and let the car cruise at the highest gear at 1.8krpm speed at 90km/hr.....on main roads i seldom press hard on the pedal and just relax let my car roll to cruising sped around 60-70km/hr at around 1.2krpm-1.4rpm and try to time the traffic lights for the reason being that i find no point to chiong fast on our main roads as i find that we will very fast kanna stop at traffic lights which i feel is a waste of fuel? Correct me if i am wrong :thumbsup:

Bravo u had applied the fuel saving techniques correctly. By having high rpm for merging into expressway speed limit does help with FC. But if on normal roads it will kill the FC. Going slowly to achieve highway speed will result in poor FC. :yehyeh:
