Yea that's why. Your full tank is really empty kind or light up then is 480km?

 

[bendi85]

piangs.. ur idling at wat rpm? do u idle often? so everytime u pump 40L without fail and get 400km only?

do u drop gear make sure u are in optimum zone or do u just 5th gear at 50km/h and make it climb?

wat engine oil are u using? check ur tyres pressure, it does affect fc. Try to rev till 2k+ 3k for 1st gear moving off before changing, some cars do get lower fc this way.

my fc also quite bad.. 1 tank normally i can pump 37L get 370km only due to my heavy foot and very often spirited drivings..

My idling about 1 lor..using mobile 1 engine oil.
You driving what car?

Consumption depends on your maintenance and style of driving.

My auto sunny in stock condition is giving me above 12 km per litre and sometimes 13 plus and rarely 14 even tho I used to speed. I only have no chance to try its top speed tho I gone up to 175kph.

My sunny was bought in Aug 2006 and mileage is now 207k and it is maintained by agent from day 1. I pump my tyre as per spec 220 front and 210 rear.

My fuel tank is 45 litres and I usually pump after the fuel lite comes on. On 2 instances, my tank almost completely empty and I can't start the car after parking and off engine!!!

First time i hear someone saying that sunny auto can hit 12km per litre... Otherwise it's well-known as a petrol-drinker

[viktOzzz]

Auto car how to clear carbon?

sports mode instead of D mode, then clear from there lor..

some cars got the 2,3 4 lever to shift to for driving other than D mode.. check ur manual on the other modes than D, then see wats the RPM shift, then go on a long run, change the mode from D and wack for ard 5mins, go back to D mode for 5 mins, then change again for 5mins..

i see my friend does that on his auto car... haha... hope gearbox bo taiji

 

[Nakedtoes]

[ZhuTou!]

zhutou go where clear carbon

bring me sit sit ur bravo leh

I thought u buying?

 

[nismo22]

Use better engine oil with addictives it helps or u can try toptec 4100 or4200 frm liquimoly with their addictive mos2
And also use 98 instead of 95 its like 4 bucks difference in your case. 40 litre 98 has more power and better milage per tank true story.

My mileage is more zhun than anyone here.

YTD mileage divided YTD litres pumped from Aug 2006 to-date. So it's the average over a long period of time. Highest was 14.1 and lowest was 9.58 depending how you pump. Average easily above 12.
