I dun speed and rev my engine but i only managed about 230km at halfway mark with esso 5000. However I could manage 315km with shell 95. I could not understand why? Fuel brands do make a difference?

Differences in route, driving patterns, external temps making your aircon work harder, more short trips, ferrying more passengers, different travelling speed etc etc.
Really too many variables to say. Try for, say 5 tanks each, if it's still like that, then yeah, maybe fuel affects.

Thanks.
I've tried Shell V power, Esso 98 & 95, all yield almost similar results.
My travel pattern : 85% h/w, 15% urban.
From moving off, RPM around 2100 (mine is CVT), and at highway, my average speed is usually 90~100km/h on the fast lane (not slow speed at the center lane)
As for the fuel meter marking :
3rd quarter mark : 150km
half mark : 320km
last quarter mark : 510km
Fuel warning light : 580km
Highest km/tank : 660km (42litles pump in, the f/c for this instance was 15.7km/l)
So actually I'm very please with 16km/l, like this car so much!
BTW, since you can achieve 315km with shell 95 at half tank, I think you are doing well too!

I'm a P-Plate driver, and this Latio HB is my first car. Just sharing something I've realised on driving habits..
Used to drive 1st lane 100km/h got average 12.5km/l.
Now driving 2nd lane at 80-90km/h got 13.88km/l.
Think patience also played a part in FC.

Driving slower reduces wind resistance, which has a big impact on FC.

Air con also play a part on FC. Air con takes up about 10% on FC.
dun set air con temp too low...
