1. Your car is still new, consumption will become stable around 10,000 km
2. Auto or manual?
3. The warning light comes on when you have about 10-11 litres left. It's safe to drive another ~50 km with the warning light on.
4. City? Highway? Traffic jams kill the consumption greatly.
5. Forget about the fuel gauge to measure your consumption. Fill the tank to the brim until the nozzle trips, reset the trip meter, drive until the next time you fill up, fill to the brim again, take the amount of fuel and divide it with the distance. Then only you can compare your consumption with others.
6. How light is your right foot? If you rev kaw kaw every time to hit the 80-90 km/h then sure your consumption will suffer.
7. Checked your tyre pressure?
Ooo so many points..
#1 Hmm will take me a while to hit that number
#2 Auto.. cos this car is to be shared with family members, but currently am the only one driving at the moment
#3 Yeah i drove another 20+- km when the light came up...
#4 Mix? but I guess my time is mostly spent in PJ areas, so that makes it city driving...
#5 Ok noted on this..
#6 very light though.. it usually take me a while to reach my avg speed.. i go up hill like snail >.<"
#7. Tyre pressure's good
