My FC Getting Better With Low RPM
SoL:
There's strategy for opening windows too. Lower 1 inch is ok, but open only the driver's and the passenger's rear window. This makes the wind blows diagonally across the car and you can feel the wind better.
Should improve FC too, since air can go in come out in a smooth path, not like 2 front window open.

But my tyres are only at 285/245kPa. Like SoL, I don't think this is a problem. Tyre wear has been even so far.
The "sweet spot" for CVT equipped the Latio is to go as slow as you dare and to keep an eye on the RPM/Speedometer and keep your gear ratio at the tallest possible (about 200rpm for every 10km/h).
With a constant 70km/h, no A/C, I think 24+km/L is possible.

Bro,
Care to share how you calculate your FC. :smile:

hi liewks, look like u r another lation with very high tyre pressure and damn gd FC :thumbsup:. For me, must try to top up to 270 and 250 liao to see if the FC really can gain much. Thanks for the sharing and a big challenge for me to go to next level :devil2:

70kmh on Singapore hw still ok but I prefer to pay a bit more driving constant 100kmh on NSHW which give ~16km/l.
anyone with ECU map want to break the record FC :thumbsup:
liewks:
To start recording FC for the first time:
1. Head to your favourite petrol station and top off the tank. I just let the pump attendant do it.
2. Reset your trip meter AND/OR record your odometer reading.
3. Drive, drive, drive down to say, 1/4 tank.
4. Return to your favourite petrol station, and top off the tank the same way. Note down the amount of petrol you paid for (A).
5. Note the mileage either by reading the trip meter or subtracting the previously recorded odometer reading from the current odometer reading (B).
6. Then do the math: (B)/(A) to get km/L. To repeat, start from (2) again.
7. To get lifetime average, keep a spreadsheet with all your (A) and (B) data. So lifetime FC would be (Total B)/(Total A) which is not the same as avg((B)/(A)).
* Accuracy is limited by:
- variation in pump cut-off point
- variation in ambient temperature
- variation in pump flow meter
- driveway gradients
- etc, etc...
It's addictive trying to best your previous top score for FC everytime you top off. Helps to break the monotony of a long work commute. FC hasn't been great lately because of route changes and multiple forays into the CBD area.
