I think the number of times you turn on and off your engine does affect FC a lot. Coz I usually travel very short distances, like 10km a day. I see that my FC is very much higher than anyone's car. Driving Savvy btw and I only got 12-13km/l in city no matter how hard I try to save on petrol. Best I got from city drive is 14km/l and I almost lost my mind by driving soooooo conservatively. Still think it's mostly coz of turn on and off the engine.

As for highway, I drove a constant 120km/h (4k RPM) and got almost 17km/l. Imagine if I drove 70-90km/h (2.5k-3k RPM) all the way, think can get a much better reading! haha

savvy fc is much better than saga blm

Saga BLM is definately horrible in jams. If u are constantly stuck in jams, the FC can even be as bad as 1L/7km. Really a fail car. Its like the engineers never thought about traffic jams at all.

yes
i agree with u
once campro engine started
already pandai suck fuel than other engine hmm.gif

Yes, and if we pair this with Petronas engine oil...My God, the oil consumption is worst.

Saga BLM is only good on no jam highways. Yes, this one I agree. Can go until 300km-350km even. But thats all to it. Once in jam...... doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif

beg to differ ... use to drive a Viva 1.0 auto

if i drive solely in city, my RM50 tank can get me 300km ... i get stuck average 1 hour a day and sometimes the trip back i get stuck like 1.5 - 2 hours ... distance is bout 20km to the office (ampang - bandar utam via kg pandan then tun razak)

thats about 17 cents per km, but then when i did hw, i can hit 400km + when the light comes up

now that i drive a city, the fc is about the same in fact lower ...  a full tank of RM60-65 can get me 400km, thats about 15cents per km, city 30% + hw 70%

Differ? I think your case just reinforced my theory...you get about 13% difference between city and highway(70%). If you do 100% highway vs 100% city, i am quiet sure you can get 20% difference....

Small cars like Myvi/Savvy etc, difference between 20% to 30% is quiet realistic. While CAMPRO and other higher cc cars will see much higher difference up to 80%-100% between city and highway drive.

Flamingfox: your situation is same like mine...i drove very short distance everyday...usually < 10km if only go to work and go home...FC higher than most Inspira...haha. And yes, my Savvy also only get about 13km/l in city no matter how i drive. Best i did on highway was 19km/l....varies from 90km/h to 120km/h.

I don't see facts that Pertronas oil is bad in FC...just the same only, all depends on traffic condition. I've done tests on Myvi, Savvy, Inspira...different brands hardly any difference....real difference comes depends traffic condition. All petrol claims extra mileage...IMO, all also BS.... tongue.gif

True...my Inspira only refuel every 2 weeks...smile.gif....so no big deal lar...short distance, higher FC, but no need to pay toll, and save lots of time on the road...smile.gif...one month refuel 2.5 times full tank on average...smile.gif

That's really bad, my KE70 with 4AGE does 8.55km/l 100% city without much traffic lights (60km/h speed). Yours are 5.85km/l. My sister told me her 2.0G Camry got around 12-13km/l and 50% highway 50% city.

Yes, on the way back after work, usually there is about 5 to 8 minutes of idling + snail paced driving. but not too much. still the fc is terrible to say the least. now thinking of changing my car! vmad.gif

My newly bought Saga 1.3 AT Fuel Consumption (FC) is really terrible. I pumped in RM48, manage to run up to 230km only. I become so frustrated on the FC and poor afterall I have to pay for the loan somemore...

My new BLM auto (2008 Oct) first 1000km fc at rm50 for 220km (before rise in price). then, after the first service, it drops to 200km. now its about 175 km per RM50 of Shell. OMG, i bought this BLM because Proton advertises in newspapers that BLM won awards in 'most fuel efficient' category...but i forgot what 'category' !!!

Shell 95 very sluggish n no power. try others eg.esso/bhp
use thinner oil. 10/30w or 10/40w
check tyre pressure 32lb

It's not just you, bro ...

My 1.3 BLM Auto gives me anywhere between 10++ to 11++km/l.

That's about the same FC as yours. hmm.gif

Maybe something went wrong with that fella's car? Or he sit idling a lot in traffic jam?

Inspira 2.0 idling in traffic 100% city jam also can get 8km/l....i think something wrong with that guy's car....maybe he need to bring back SC and complain kaw-kaw. Maybe ECU map screw up???
