My FC Getting Better With Low RPM

Maybe is becos i park at the slope of the caltex station to pump petrol thus able to pump a few litres more? :thumbsup:

hi bro, u should minus 2~3 l to calculate the correct FC mah..rite? :devil2:

For cruising on highway i do not stay at 90km/hr constanly as i adapt my speed according to gravity.....example if i know that i am approaching a uphil slope i will step on the throttle slightly harder to reach maybe 100km/hr to build up my car kinetic energy to go up the hill but i will still stay at highest gear and not press that much to let gear shift to lower range as that would mean that our engine is wasting fuel to fight with gravity and when i reach the top of the slope i will than let the car glide down it to reach speeds up to 110km/hr and very slowly gently ease the throttle to let it reach back to 80-90km/hr :thumbsup:
For normal road actually quite simple to get good FC if we all follow the logic of 'The less u brake the better ur Fc' & 'The moment u release the throttle no fuel is consume untill ur speed fall untill about 30km/hr' soo we try if we can to look further to anticipate traffic and lights and let the engine do the braking and not the brakes to save on the fuel and brake pads :yehyeh:

Hi bro. thks for the sharing as i tot going down the slope shd let it slide down by turn on neutral gear, and look like it's another way round. Will try it up. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The moment I release the trottle, no fuel is consumed?
I though as long as the engine is running, fuel will be consumed.
Can you enlighten me?

To my understanding, as long as u depress ur accelerator, the fuel will be injected. BUT if u dont press it, no fuel will be injected loh..
thats y, when i go downslope, i dont depress the accelerator... let gravity do the work for me + i save fuel aka $$$

been trying your method hehe, rev to 3+K rpm to hit 90km/h
but i find that the ride is not very comfortable, quite jerky>>i think it is due to the acceleration when i step and the deceleration when i release the pedal
Anyone who tried Fri13th's method, do you have this feeling ?
