Need help with my FC

(1/12) > >>

nakshire:
Hi guys,

I see that most lations here are experiencing good FC ranging from 13-15km/l

I've tried the following methods:

A/C to 23degrees, sometimes dun switch on.
Light footed, i seldom go past 2000rpm unless on expressway... abt 2200 to 2500 max.
Changed my petrol to CAltex 92.

Apparently i'm still getting a pathetic 11.4km/l.

I've not tried checking pressure of tyre, or do anything to it. Dun dare to.

I am not so sure if changing the petrol to 92 will work....I still pump 95 and I check my tyre pressure regularly at least once a month and it definitely helps...before, I never check my tyre pressure at all and I got below 13km/l no matter how hard I tried...after i check and pump my tyre pressure regularly...it is easy to get 13.5km/l consistently....sometimes i even get it to 14km/l....also, if your car boot is full of stuff, the added weight does makes a different as well....is your car always full passenger capacity? This affects your FC as well...hope this helps... ;D

Hi,

You may need Mobil 5000, i tried serveral brands of Petrol (Shell, SPC, Caltex and Mobil 5000 seems to be the best FC for my Latio Sport with 16inch tyres ava about 13km/l.

Running on 92octane petrol while cheap also is makes my Latio less powerful which results in a heavier foot to achieve what i am use to.

How come you don't dare to check tyre pressure huh? Scared the tyre explode ar?! :D

There are many factors affecting FC.

Is yr car entirely stock? coz most of the latians here have changed their stock tyres and rims .(Generally Heavier)

Assuming yr ride is on stock , if u pump 92, yr FC will b affected becoz it is 'underpowered'.

Tyre Pressure is actually a critical factor in determining yr FC.

Under-Inflated Tyres  consume alot of fuel.
