High in what sense? This is normal for a manual Myvi. Probably can do better on highway (official specs 17km/l @ constant 90km/h).

Yours is Auto? Heard the Myvi Auto sucks fuel a bit. But your figure....280/32.5=8.6km/l is really TERRIBLE!

I think your car got problem...maybe old ECU? You should get the ECU checked or updated. I understand there were some old ECU revision which sucks fuel.

The ECU= Engine Control Unit. This is the CPU of your car. It's under the glove box. There should be a number like BZ440 etc. Check what's your number and compare against your friend's ECU. If it is the same, you need to send back to SC and complain, so that they can reprogramme the ECU.

You can ask those guys in Myvi thread.

When my Myvi was new, it was getting 13km/l.

Fuel saver thingy is bullshit one. If it's so good, don't you think all the car manufacturer already install by default??

I can reach 460km...with no fuel saver thingy.

It's UNDER the GLOVE BOX

You can tembak with a DIGIcam like i did previously, just put it under the glove box and start shooting everywhere, because it's difficult for me to go under the glove box (I'm big sized, and i don't like cramping underneath obstacles, makes me sweat very easily).

Hopefully, one of the pics will show the ECU box. Just shoot and check again where it is and shoot again when you find the proper location. It has a model no. on it. like BZ440 etc.

Here's a sample:



Google for 'MYVI ECU photo''.

I don't know about you guys. It doesn't affect me at all...Shell. BP. Mobil. Petronas, Caltex etc. tested with my Myvi a few months. Doesn't matter.

All those 'longer mileage with Shell' slogan all BS. Only difference is power. For me, Petronas is most sluggish. All others are fine. V-Power is without doubt most powerful...but you pay extra for it.

Wait. You should have a more accurate figure after 5k. Also, make sure you know how to calculate FC. A lot of people simply calculate...pump petrol RM xx, then jalan until light blinks...this is not correct.

Do this:
1) Fill till full (pump auto stop). Reset trip meter.
2) Drive for say 200km or so.
3) Fill till full (pump auto stop). Write down the litre pumped. Say 20litre.

So your mileage=200/20 litre= 10km/litre.

Typically, i think most Myvi auto should get at least 11km/l to 12km/l when optimized.
