Congratz and salute to the 28.3km/l Fuel Frugal Challenge winner
SoL:
AC off, 2 adults, speed at 80km/h, you can probably get 20km/l easily. The rest depends on refining your driving techniques, like braking, throttle position, coasting etc.

On my recently trip to melaka, I had only clocked 14.x km/l (Air con @ 23 speed 3, 4 adults, speed 90+ to 120+).
A big surprise that with air con, weight and speed the FC is actually affected by so much. 28km/l to 14+ km/l

i think speed n weight is the killer for fuel... not much of aircon...
SoL:
Actually I've read experiment reports saying even full windows down is more fuel efficient than AC on.

hi guys,
i'm one of the participants in the challenge, though i finished 3rd or 4th last!
Here's my data:
FC: 20.8 km / l
Avg rpm: 2000 rpm
avg spd: 80-100kmh (esp the return journey back to jb. damn tired liao, so just drive normally).
Aircon: on
Radio: on
Passengers: 2 (total weight: 76 + 55 = 121kg)
Car: latio basic sedan
Transmission: 4AT of course
My regular FC in Singapore is 12-13km/l, 50% highway, 50% city. Thus, am pleasantly surprised at the FC i got, though it was 80%-85% highway driving. Drove mainly on the left lane of the NSH, as all the cars are rushing past me.
For FL latio, there's a avg fuel consumption and instantaneous fuel consumption. I try to keep the Instantaneous fuel consumption to 4 or 5 litres per 100km, and that showed me when to accelerate and when to let it cruise. quite an effective driver aid.
anyway this latio is quite good lar. comfortable in NSH, quiet in cruising.
I must also salute the Tan Chong staffs in organizing the activity. They are professional and friendly, and i thoroughly enjoyed myself, except during the return journey after lunch when i start to fall asleep at the wheel.....
