Just done my 2nd service! The service advisor ask me to install the autolock @ 320rm.. i say no no..

For the past 5000km, I'm able to achieve 600- 650 km / per 33 liters / 19.0km/l tank of fuel consistently with ECO mode ON most of the time and drive smoothly, no hard acceleration.
I'm pretty satisfy with the fuel consumption, can imagine that my previous drive honda city can only achieve max <550km/ per 40 liters tank.

So if anyone ask you about the fuel consumption of honda insight.. you could probably claim 700++ km per 40 liter fuel! rclxms.gif

Full tank is 40 litre and I get average 500-600 only. Your 30 litre get 450km is consider good. It's also depend on your driving style, eco on or off, highway or city drive.

So bad?.. hmm.gif you drove aggressively ?

Eco mode most of the time on. 100 percent city driving though. Aircon set on auto so its usually about half blast. Most of the time 2/3 people in the car at the time. Any other info needed? I hear some people claiming to hit like 600km on a 30 litre tank so that's like quite high. Wondering whether there's a problem with my car. I don't drive aggresively, ie no sudden braking or quick acceleration so I don't know the actual problem. Thanks much!

You try to use the auto cruise more often to see if that helps. Also lower your aircon as i always set to manual as auto is too powerful for me.

You missed out some bro...for eg. you might get a shock when the wiper clean the windshield automatically when rain fall. The lights comes on when it gets dark. The auto cruise make you burn lesser calories. S#*t your own pants when the engine cuts while you stop at the lights. Making calls to service centre "why ar when I start the engine..no cranking sound one?"  sweat.gif

Funny LOL... One more... how come i can zoom to 150km/h on highway easily with only 1.3l of engine? Is the eco button on/off sort of turbo button?? haha. rclxms.gif

There is really slight improvement over FC after the 2nd service. Same driving style, able to achieve 670km, 20km/l for 33L. There is an increase of about 30 - 50km. Not bad though.

For me its a combination of '0' tax (though HM making more profit out of it), CBU, Fuel economy and best of all, trying to preserve the world for future generation.... biggrin.gif
199Nm of torque. That is better than Camry 2.0 u know.. somemore Insight have lighter body... drool.gif
I'm not that technically sound but imho, shift to 'S' for rapid acceleration is better than stays at 'D'.
Our CVT are using clutch pack at its driven pulley. It doesnt use torque converter at input shaft. This setup helps improve efficiency by eliminating power loss at torque converter and improve smoothness.
However, dragging the car at D will results more 'slips' on its hydraulic control clutch packs as the computer will always try to get its highest infinite ratio and at the same time increases load on its belting.
While S will limit the gearbox to its lower ratio hence better pickup, less clutch slips and less load on belting. That was also the reason why they recommend us to shift to L for extreme climbing.

2 types of failure in City CVT last time was worn belting (though it steel) and worn clutch packs. And most of the CVTbox failure were happened to earlier batch City which Honda Malaysia themselves mistakenly use normal ATF during service that time (back in 2003-2004).

Hope they've already learn their lesson...

Very technical explanation on the D vs S drive thumbup.gif
But in layman term, can we maintain S drive on highway at high RPM cruising @ 130km? ? Cause I have tat mentality that S drive is low gear only...

Much cheaper @ RM 260 compared to the other seller in this forum. But problem with these kit is you going to lose the audio control on the steering wheel once you install the LCD screen/double din player. Anyone do have reference on how to maintain the audio control on the steering after changing the original player? Saw a youtube, taiwan introducing insight, they have OEM double din kit for customer to choose, of course the audio control on steering is maintained.

Is probably more family (Altis) vs more sporty(Insight) from the look.

And probably those choosing Insight is those who has higher risk appetite ...

Tried full ECO Off mode for this tank of fuel. Drive a bit more aggressively though.
Result: 17.5km/l, 600km.
Previous tanks, With Eco on, averagely 20km/l, 650km.

If calculate correctly, i wasted around RM 5 for the lost of 50km, but do enjoy a more lively drive.
