which 1.4L engine?

Morning everyone,
I guess i m the 1st owner for the Saga FL 1.6.
Got it for 2 weeks oredi.
My FC reports. 1st week pump rm50 of RON95=260km. 2nd weeks pump rm50=245km. is this good for a 1.6?

haha better than some 1.3L saga, 1.3L and 1.6L engine has almost no difference in fc

Wait for first service..then it will improve..

Your FC will improve as your mileage increases..dont forget to break in the engine at the crucial period..

I predict at least 300km full tank for full city driving should be pretty decent..

Hi! It's my way of comparing...savings I now get fr using RON95 instead of 97!
For every 1L RON95 I use now, I save RM1 (b4 price drop!). So every 2L RON95, I save RM2 which pays for 1L RON95 + 10sen leftover!

Btw Petronas pts can b used 2buy petrol. Insert yr Pet'nas card 2redeem.

Scirocco 1.4?

wow good bro.
my iswara rm100 for 400 KM only.

Good morning, guys!!

I refilled my fuel tank yesterday. Guess how much km/l I got for my previous tank?

Honestly, I wouldn't trust Brothers to do anything on my car.

He doesn't mean free petrol. He used to use RON97 and now switch to RON95. Because of price, every 1 liter of RON97 can almost buy 2 liter of RON95.

Just wondering. Did you switch off the AF function?

Well, the first few thousand km will not be representative of the actual FC. Maybe after 5K or 10K service.

Also, I would recommend that you follow the proper procedures when when measuring petrol. Otherwise your FC readings will be inaccurate.
1) Fill full tank
2) Reset odometer
3) Drive normally until ready to refill (doesn't have to be until empty tank)
4) Refill full tank again
5) Compare the quantity of petrol in liters you just pumped vs how much mileage you just drove
6) Repeat steps (2) to (5) at least 3 times and get an average.

This should give you a proper reading.

If you want good FC. please also ensure you keep your tires properly inflated. Every 2 - 3 weeks would be nice. Try not to rev hard frequently as well. Try maintain around 2K to 3K RPM and cruise around +-90KPH.

Yup..it switches off completely..then got no light..it takes some time before it turns on again

I got average of 380KM with 28L. Daily traveling 50% city + 50% highway.

I'm driving 2008 BLM (Manual).

The others are right. Sounds like a loose plug somewhere.

PS: Don't wanna guess what FC I got for my previous tank meh? Thanks to your feedback, you know.

Got 350km?

managed to get 380km?

Basket. Hahaha. No lar. Auto car lar mine.

320KM. I got around 11.11KM/l on my previous tank. It should be because of the tip you gave the other day on pumping 220kpa. It's the only thing that has changed lately.

pump tyres with nitro will help improve fc rite..?

Hyundai accent 1.4

Don't feel so.

Only need 2re-pump as often as air. More lasting...

@MR_Alien,
Sure or not? What's the secret?

It's not that nitrogen will improve FC. Nitrogen will retain the same pressure longer than plain air, so you don't have to pump so often. This is probably the single largest benefit.

The FC argument comes into play because some people argue that normal people normally don't maintain their tire pressures properly. Therefore if you do not maintain tire pressure properly, your avg tire pressure in between pumps will be very low. Since nitrogen will retain pressure longer than air, it will stay on average, at a higher pressure in between pumps than plain air. Higher avg pressure = lower rolling resistance = better FC.

If, however, you maintain your tire pressure regularly, then you will not benefit as much.

Another benefit is for people whose travel habits cause the tire temperature to change drastically. E.g. Racing, going up and down mountains, etc. These cause air to leak out more, which requires regular pumping. Nitrogen would benefit here as well.

Honestly, if nitrogen was free, I would say why not? But since it's not free, I don't see any point in it. How much difference is the FC? Is it negligible or meaningful? I think that in most cases, it's negligible. Is the savings in FC meaningful enough to pay for nitrogen? I honestly think that in most cases, it isn't. I'd rather you take some time to maintain your tire pressures properly. That would benefit your FC more than anything else, besides your right foot.
