Very interested... but unlikely to be able to find time. But for those who can make it, it's going to be really fun. Plus maybe Tan Chong is going to program the ECM for maximum fuel economy for you :-). All for free...

Take a look at the schedule...

Flag-off at 7am, lunch at 11am. 4 hours, 250km... works out to 62.5km/hr. Doing 70km/hr on our speedo should work out great. Maybe about 23~25km/L with windows up and no A/C? Those with FL versions may get a little more? I wonder if 4AT will out perform a CVT under these conditions?

Why would FL be getting more fuel economy?   :confused1: Better ECU/TCU tuning?

Also, i thought CVT is more fuel efficient then 4AT, cruising rpm of CVT is lower isn't it? 100km/h on 4AT is 2.5k rpm, while its just 2k rpm on CVT.

Well, you can try!  :thumbsup:

I dunno whats the standard in Singapore, but liewks' 20+ km/l is probably a very high standard.

I think FL has extended late closure for intake valves. This will improve low load fuel economy. But I can't be sure.

As you say, it looks like low load, low speed cruising should favour CVT. But again, it's difficult to find any published efficiency numbers for the two drive trains.

It would be interesting if they allowed other folks to attend the pre-event briefing just to pick up tips for driving efficiently. The best people to learn it from are Nissan. They know how the engines and transmissions are set up and where the sweet spots are.

it is free with $5,000 in prizes

the $50 is a refundable deposit to ensure that those who signed up actually participate

sounds interesting

tempted to go - can be company to whoever is interested to drive

Can we do any modification on our car for fuel efficiency ?

Everyone the winner!

Probably by how much petrol they give you/ how much you use.

Yep, that why this puzzle me, since the distance is so called fixed, to and fro around 500km as stated, let say they provide us to pump to the full tank since we need to abide the 3/4 tank regulation also. So after end of the journey, how do they or use any equipment to measure the quantity of our fuel left to determine the winner, we know we can estimate from our fuel gauge but not accurate in term of how many litres left in our tank.

This challenge is to see how far you can go with 1 tank of fuel. No need to worry on that 3/4 tank regulation...cos you vehicle petrol tank will be refueling and sealed at Gelang Patah on 6am.

I think TCM assume Latio is able to go at least 500km++ with full tank. Besides, you will be driving at highway (mostly). Can have chance to see how good is your latio fuel consumption. Too bad I am not qualified to the challenge. Hope who participant can enjoy.

Cannot because I wanted to be the passenger

Mine also not qualified, only 13+ km/l, so thought of joining the fun with "qualified" Lations ..........

Oh I see, so this challenge to see 1 tank can cover the distance.
