I have a boring old 1.3L myvi. On average I get 12-13km/L and on a bad day 11.5km/L. Bad days means I idle in the car waiting for long periods of time and getting stuck in 1 hour long traffic daily.

Manual myvi one sifu here CVKit has a 1.5L Myvi manual and he gets average 14-15km/L or more with light feet and heavy it'll be 13-14km/L which is bloody fantastic btw.

Myvi and heavy FC are never in the same sentance. Unless the car is really poorly run in and is using heavy ass engine oil and running on massively heavy 17" rims with low profile tyres and carrying around 5 subwoofers.... then good luck la.
I did a rough calculation and I got average 13km/l on my current usage. I've seen certain 1.5 manual myvi users posting their average of 16km/l all the way up to 21.7km/l. So if i'm really light footed I can achieve similar average?

Should be able to as long as you are not always stuck in traffic jam with your engine idling away and not really making any mileage.

Still 21 is a very far away figure, that is around 4.7L/100km. Probably drive downhill from genting...lol

He said from 16 up to 21. Maybe he is aiming somewhere in between like 17 or 18? 21 is like the figure for Axia's fuel consumption. Maybe can only be achieved during long distance cruising.

The unreasonable temptation to floor the throttle more than what is needed. :biggrin:

Actually if I put more discipline on myself, I really don't have to step more than 30% on the throttle to get the car going now. That is not the case last time when my car is underpowered mainly due to wrong ignition timing.
Yup, keep ourselves under control. But when shift 3rd gear, cannot resist :hmmmm:

21.7km/L is hybrid territory. Impossible to achieve on real roads in a Myvi.

16-17km/L is possible with a Myvi 1.5 manual as a friend of mine regularly achieves that and he's not exactly slow either. The trick is not light feet, it's smooth driving with minimal variances in your gas pedal.

My Sylphy if I were to rev 3k RPM and maintain the 150km/h speed all the way to JB from KL, I'd get a pretty good FC of 14km/L which isn't much but for a large saloon with a 2.0L engine it's not bad. However in city since it's most of the time stop-go traffic and inconsistent throttle best I get is 10km/L and worst 8km/L. If I maintain 110km/h from KL to JB I'd die of boredom first then get an incredible 16km/L in the Sylphy. My auto Myvi's concept is similar. City driving usually 12-14km/L. Highway about 15-16km/L easily.

Oh I think it's been shared before but if you want to save more fuel, strip the car down to be as light as possible. Drive smoothly and maintain a throttle point where it's not too high and not too low, usually below 3k RPM. The boring range.

Thank u so much. I think it should be good la. I asked a friend of mine who is using a 1.5 auto and he said that the car gives him almost 600km for a full tank. but his piping modded la. so i can assume manual might give somewhere around that figure if driven properly. hahaha

TS, no offence. Why still go for myvi 1.5 since you edi have a 1.3. Go for other and better car such as honda city or toyota vios. These cars are quite fuel efficiency.

This is true.

The 'god car' Toyota Vios is more comfortable than the Myvi and has almost as good FC
