hi, i got my 2012 forte 1.6 sx last week, i found the fuel consumption is high, which is 11.8liter/100km(show on meter). which mean only 8.547km/liter.

I am 90% city + 10% highway.Found some guy can get around 8liter/100km. any modding(wihtout void warranty) can get a better fc?

Is the fc normal for this car? Issit becos new car so the fc will be higher?tks for any comment. smile.gif

Since you just got your car last week, wait till after your 1k service then check again.. Mine was around the same as yours too, but after 1k service it's pretty good now.

Though bear in mind, you are driving 90% city, which means you are more likely to be stucked in traffic jam most of the time, if you are a heavy footer, you might want to learn how to drive smoothly (be gentle on the pedal) then u'll see significant difference. Forte is quite heavy anyways..

i drive smooth as this is my new car, i found forte really heavy, pick up is not so good also, perhaps it get better with time.
may i know your average fc after 1k service? more on city or highway?
