I had a same issue when I had my Latio Sport CVT 16inch rims after 2nd service1 (1000 km), guess its the mineral engine oil TCM provides for free, i was getting around 10km/l too.
I brought my own mineral oil for the 5000km servicing and it help slightly as i was using SAE40 oil.
After 10000km changed to synthetic oil after reading all the posts hear and it help jumped to around 12km/l :thumbsup:
That is what my SE mentioned after i collected my car, it will around 12km/l after 10,000km.
Tried VPower and my latio is able to reach about 13km/l after 2 full tanks.
So just hang in there till you reach the milestone.

Thanks you sound very encouraging. Guess i will hang in there still. Now is nearing half tank and i am at 149KM. Pretty sian though. Will keep monitoring, maybe will highlight to TCM if it doesn't improves till then.

Hi All,
It has been discussed b4 here, where most of our needle will drop faster fr Full tank to middle, b4 slowdown to empty. Eg. for mine, 1/4 = ~80km, 1/2 = ~200km, 3/4 = ~350km, Near Empty ~470km. Few of us hv complained to TCM, nothing much they can do, altho TC tried to adjust (tink the Float sensor inside the fuel tank). One main reason they said is becos of the tank design (bottle neck which is more narrow on top, therefore needle drops faster during the begining).
More accurate/important is to monitor fr full tank to the empty light on, to calculate ur overall mileage. If there is any major changes in this, then u hv to check wat is causing it. :)

Of cos not happy with this problem, cos v "rugi" for us who travels v often to Msia, where the 3/4 rule apply. Hv to top-up earlier than suppose to b when lower than 3/4.

Why or how you calculate your overall mileage for ? If you meant FC, regardless of what shape or how much fuel is used, you still able to calculate based on distance covered over your fuel quantity filled.

No la, TS was worried y his needle drops so fast to half when only travel shorter distance, which is common for our Latio car, so might not b related to FC..
