mine may not be that accurate but hope these will help ya. Yours would be around 400-450 kms I guess?

My car gives me 280-320 km of full tank, aircon switched on all the time, mostly city driving, 70% city 30% highway, lots of high-revving.

Max i tried was nearly 500 km of full tank, with aircon switched off, very early morning, balik kampung trip. Occasional high-revving.:p

Running on evo 1 15" rims. Moderately light.

Oh yeah, 1.5-litre minor mod engine with minor mod powertrain.

my car travelled around 340km with Rm50, how much is full tank? I never really try before wth full tank cause my parents do the filling... haha

this is the mod of my car(dont know will increase FC or not)
1) K&N drop in filter n crankcase filter
2) 4-2-1
3) exhaustion system from LMST
4) 9.8mm plug cables..
5) other than tht everything stock, even wheel covers... hehehehe

thanks for guides darahhitam..

yeah...saga iswara full tank s about 40liters...so 40L x rm1.52=rm60.80

my std carburetor F/C roughly, rm10=6liters can bring me around 100km....

 

[theorekz]

wah... like tht my car FC very high lo???

whats ur secret ar carrera n jcn9690??
teach a bit can??

How's ur driving style? Heavy-footed? Last minute braking before traffic lights?

Pedal to the metal all the time?

Driving style DOES affect your fuel consumption.

 

[jcn9690]

what i did were...

change to new timing belt(coz its old already)
change head cover gasket(coz bit leaking)
service carb..this screw...

other than that.....i drive without aircond...and not heavy throtle....

 

[theorekz]

no ar................... normally i drive around 70... only..... rev also not more than 3...

from the first day the car was bought(4 yrs ago)... the mileage also like that ...
thts according to my brother... tht time the car is stock standard..

i drive my car around the city most of the time...... does this bring any effect? cause my dad says if drive in highway FC very good o... so a bit difficult to compare....

any other reason for high FC? like spark plug or other stuff...

u know la, malacca doesnt have much highway...

Nothing to do with the brake parts (not much, I'd say) but more on THE WAY YOU DRIVE.
Light-footed, heavy-footed, cockcroach-style, etc.

If you anticipate your braking, say - you are approaching traffic light that is RED, means you slow down gradually, not approaching it with 60 km/h and all of sudden, slam on your brakes.

Or when you accelerate from traffic lights, too many stop and start condition (traffic jam) all those variables will add up lerr..

Then again, there are so many variables contributing to higher FC.
Bigger/heavier/wider rims/tyres than stock, mods, tear and wear, plus tons others.
