Title: Poor fuel efficiency?
Post by: lmhdex on April 23, 2010, 10:11:31 PM
My latio sport basic model fuel consumption seems to be going up the longer I drive.

Now it's only about 8.6 km/l. 

How to improve fuel efficiency?  I don't think I'm heavy footed, daily route to work always jam - is that the reason?

What is the mileage now and how old is your car?

Frequent maintenance (oil change), tyre size and pressure and driving habits all play a role in fuel consumption.

Traffic jams do result in higher fuel consumption.

yeah i do agree with what clarence say. Do look out for your tyre pressure. Latio is quite sensitive to little bit of things. If everything is right, u shd get a good FC. Check your plugs if u are having high mileage... That time i changed, my FC improved a lot, even though it was at 40k only...

air con temp / fan speed also makes a difference.... pick up rev also ... in jam i dun like to rev the latio... it drinks a lot
