The fuel gauge is just indicative only not exact, don't worry too much.

i think it depends on % HIGHWAY and % CITY driving...

i remember when i drive alot of highway for the start, 1/4 can be about 140 to 160km...
Half tank is about 260 to 280km

If i drive more of city driving, it will be about 120 to 140km.
half tank is about 220km only.

Hi,

I use to get about 12.5km/l with Latio Sport on 205/16 tires.

Recently i added some radiator additives that help cool the engine upto 15C and noticed that my fuel consumption is now about 13.5km/l for a couple of tanks now.

Anyone else tried adding radiator additives and getting similar savings?

why dun you try and tell us the difference? I believe different cars (even between latios) have different results. It will be great if you can contribute yours too!

Bro, thanks for your advise. Will try to tell you the difference if I have the chance to pump in JB.
Actually I'm asking is JB 5000 = Sin 5000, not the petrol grade that affect our Latio.

hi, usually i pump 97 in JB since the price is already a discount to me.
also, i felt the 97 in JB is better responsive too.
anyone tried before?

hmm..  :blink:

all i know from my mech from malaysia, they ask me try not to pump 97 and below from malaysia shell. they said not that good. and for esso try to pump 5000 above, dont pump 5000 or below.

but above mention i personnelly have not try pump it before. i only try V-power and esso F1 fuel. which is very good but fuel consumption veri fast.

As for FC like what nakshire mentioned which play quite a big part in ur car FC.

So do often check tyre pressure during ur refuelling and ur own foot pressure on ur ACCELERATOR!

But end of the day, dun let ur car FC control ur DRIVING style, juz go enjoy your ride and FC juz a refenerce guide on ur car behavior for extreme cases.

My 1 cent worth of advise.. hehe.. :devil2:
