We all know the car jerks. But I drive like a jerk now. Heck, I drive my Kenari faster than I drive my Insight.
Is it just me or are all Insight drivers obsessed with hypermiling? Even driving at 70 - 80km/hr on highway, I always manage to overtake a lot of Insights. I think we are the reason for traffic jam in KL now.
Cheers from fellow jerk in a jerky car.
haha anyway the highway speed limit is 80-90kmh in town area so who dare to compalin we drive slow haha i do drive slower than before i drive a satria all due to the green light haha

infact if I drive normal I get better FC compared to drive like a snail...
the computer onboard function to tell you if you over accelerate and be gentle on your throttle not drive like a snail...
it is to train you to press the accelerator in pace insted of slamming it to the floor...
there is a difference of driving eco style and driving slow... and slow doesnt mean fuel efficiency....
yes press the padal like if u are pressing a egg lol

kns, so busy until no time to troll LYN nowadays.
Got my trophy @ 7800 km months ago...but didnt manage to capture. It just pop out of the blue. I remember joshua bro got his trophy also around 7500 km. You can choose to reset them, but didnt bother to do it.
Nice stuff medklinn! Have one at home, but not for car interior. Definitely helps, especially I'm a sinus guy
Just to share my FC observed for the past 6 months:
Previous service - 10km
Next service - 15km
Trip detail to work - 45km one way (from Port Klang to Mutiara Damansara). Use NKVE, exit @ Subang Interchange. So averagely is 40% highway, 60% city (I dun consider LDP as highway btw)
FC with ECON - 20-21 km/l
FC without ECON - 18-19 km/l
All of this are observed between home and working place. I'm driving normally like my previous ride (1.5, manual) albeit more manipulation of momentum & medium throttle to 70-90km/h from idle, so I'm mostly in blue and dark blue zone from 0-70 (I dun crawl like snail and maintain green zone). Average speed on highway is 110-120km/h. Occasional WOT to 4k rpm for overtaking. (5k rpm with S mode).
So in summary, the FC largely depends on the right foot, type of journey covered and momentum manipulation. Oh yea, please monitor your RPM as well, it helps. Sometimes highway also can experience stop and go traffic (

NKVE

), or smooth city driving, and these affect FC reading.
One thing worth to take note of our Insight RPM:
100km/h - 2000 rpm
125km/h - 2500 rpm
So it is still fuel-efficient to maintain speeds between 100km/h to 120km/h. Even myvi and vios can only reach 80km/h @ 2000 rpm (also observed from my sisters' cars)
maintain at 80-90 u will get 22km/l lol but hack i just cant tahan and end up 125km from SG back to kl lol
