Need help with my FC

[alex]

Hi,

I think it better to pump 95 grade to acheive better mileage.
We can save the money from using better grade petrol, to do engine flushing about $50 to $80.
I think this will prolong the engine life and performance.

I personally think that if we can hit aversge of 13 to 14km on our Latio.
It consider good.
Jazz can hit average of 15 to 16km, given the engine cc and brand.
So just enjoy our rideon Latio!!!!!!!!!

Regards
Alex

Hi,

Just to share my view.
I am pumping on esso 5000 and i am getting about 12.5 to 14.5 ( max).
Front tyre 240 back 230.
When i pump esso 8000 i am getter lower mileage.
About 11 to 12km/l.

To me if i pump better grade petrol = lower fc.
So i decided to switch to esso 5000.
And i have try this for many tanks.
It proven true to me.
Higher grade petrol = lower fc
 

Are you trying to say higher grade petrol = poorer FC ?

i believe he meant better fc or lower fuel consumption
coz i get better fc after chging back to 98,...

Hi,

Yes! what i meant is 98 = lower mileage.
95 = higher mileage.

This only in my point of view and experiance only.
May be due to the higer grade.
Better grade = better power = burn more fuel.

There alway a pro and con in every thing.
No such thing as high power car with good fc.

Anyway just enjoy our latio

Hi,

This is how I interpret his message unless he really typo.

I am pumping on esso 5000 and i am getting about 12.5 to 14.5 ( max).
Front tyre 240 back 230.
When i pump esso 8000 i am getter lower mileage.
About 11 to 12km/l.

8000 is premium than 5000 but getting FC of 12km/l while 5000 can gave him min 12.5km/l. So does he meant higher grade petrol = poorer FC ? Lower FC mean better FC.

Many drivers confused this FC term.

I used to pump Caltex Ron95 and change to Caltex Ron92 once Caltex reinstate it.

TO me, other than draggy engine, the FC doesnt make any difference. I averagely able to hit 13.4 - 14km per litre.

i believe for FC discussion >> Just stick to the math >> FC = Total Dist travelled/ Total fuel used..

dont look at the "feel" of ur driving

Sometimes ron92 give better FC as compare to ron95... (although ron95 or 98 might have better power)

for me>>>
ron 92 and  95 >> FC is quite close >> 11km/l to 12km/l
overall not much difference so might as well wack 92>> save $$
but once a month i will wack ron 98/95 for a tank

O.K, I not arguing but you are confusing with your FC term.

From what I interpret you are trying to say higher grade of petrol = poorer FC due to 98 give you lower mileage while 95 provides you more mileage right ? And truly understand this is based on your own observation.

What I trying to correct you your previous message is that you stated higher grade petrol = lower FC which is directly opposite or contradict of what your message is.

[Jazz]

Singapore F1 sling = Vpower 10L + Esso 98 10L + caltex 92 10L + SPC 95 10L 

Yah I mix Malaysia 97 with singapore 95 or 92. just pump when I need to.

hey... some say petrol is the same except the additive they put in, if you pump 98, why not pump 92 and add those ~$2 small bottle petrol additive. I remember the last time I pour fuel system cleaning agent one tank before my servicing the car very power compare to normal days.

[expresso]

hi guys, need to check on my FC too..
After 1st 1K servicing, my FC dropped to 10~11km/L.

Is it normal?
During the 1st 1K, my FC is about 12 to 14km/L

wah where do u  get those kind of additive? Will spoil engine one or not?

Anyway, i'm on my 3rd tank of Caltex 92 now, pumped tyres up to recommended pressure midway, the FC rating rose from 11km/l to 13.9km/l.

SHIOK!!!

petrol sation (I only know about esso station) and supermarket have a few type od additive, some one also selling in the forum.
