big trouble with FC
Lorddraco:
I have tried before ... full tank up to melaka and back with just around RM20 buck top up along the way with total 2 person inclusive driver in the car. If I dont drive within Melaka Town, I think full tank can allow me to drive to and fro of melaka town.
Full tank all the way to KL last toll exit with 4 full adult in may this year plus I am driving at around 120km/hr to 140km/hr.... paiseh I cannot possible maintain 80km/hr to 100 or else I will be falling asleep.
So ..I must say the FC is good.
mazha:
This is the latest: I'm now at 1/2 tank, and have already travelled 252km. Amazing! Hope it stays this way!

The optimal speed for good FC is 80km/hr constant for at least 70% to 80% of the time. It reminds me in the previous forum, there is also a member complaining about poor FC but later we found that it is poor because he travel almost 90% of the time in short distance (< 10 to 15 min drive to work) and no more than 60km/hr. Such condition is never optimal for FC consumption, if you look at the recent Nissan Frugal challenge... the winner is driving around 80km/hr, light load without Air-Con!!!! to achieve around 28km/l for Latio. But we know we dont travel in such condition.
So ... in mainly city driving... 10 to 11km/l is a good number. Mainly smooth highway travel .. 13 to 14 @ 80km constant is good.
Why I say only 13 to 14 @ 80km/hr is good? cause if one is driving above 100 and 110km/hr ... the FC will dropped down to close 11... in fact will be between 11 to 12.
Please also know that pumping will also determine the variance. One pump uncle may squeeze extra 1 to nearly 2 litre of petrol after click, but another could squeeze a little or not at all. I found that after the pump stopped by itself, typically you still can potentially squeeze up to 2 litre in Esso Station.
Overall Latio FC is good in its category.
Cheers ...

tried going at 80km/hr today to work.
Amazing you can feel that there is a decrease in foot pressure as soon as it hits 80km/hr. Other than this optimum speed, the other foot pressures has to be increased slightly or quite a bit to attain that speed.
surprisingly i did not play with this previously. After trying, it really shows that the 80km/hr really helps in FC considering that i dun have to press so hard on pedal... heh heh :D

latest full tank pump: 13.1km/l!
But this morning when i went to top up and decided to try with SPC92, to my shock, i hit quarter tank after 60km! Is SPC 92 so bad????
