my 2008 carb saga lmst, 14' rim besi 200km rm30 ok ka? city driving.
using shell ron95, paco engine oil.

u can calculate FC like this
rm30 = 14.26L
so 200km / 14.26L = 14.025km/L. kira bagus ma.
lagi tinggi figure lagi bagus FC. lagi rendah figure lagi teruk la FC.

i drive a saga fl (auto) year 2010.. rm60 gives about 260km, give or take... driving between 70km/h-100km/h.. rarely go beyond 100km/h..

how do you fellas get more than 300km for a full tank?

usually because of heavy footing, use aircond more than minimum temp.

I never did any calculation before. But i will have a look with the example you gave above.

The petrol bar indicator, usually gives 40KM per bar. That is what i get.

u salah method ma. kira pakai fuel bar tu tak accurate.

I think its about time to blog about how to save petrol liao sleep.gif Been on on off off posting the same stuff, also got into argument with the tree huger sleep.gif

1) FC mostly depending on traffic condition, it could be recently traffic got heavier
2) Go wash your pollen filter, make sure its clean so you get more aircond. Try to reduce the thermostat to minimal. Do remember our 2000cc worth SANDEN compressor took out almost 1/3 of the torque just to power up cold air in the cabin. You can blast your blower speed at 4(if you can take it), just be very careful on the thermostat will do.
3) Don't stay in the car and blow aircond. Refer no.2. My normal blower speed at 3. Thermostat is half during the day, and minimal at night.
4) It's not 3krpm shift up or 2.5krpm. It's how long does it take to reach 3krpm. Try to reduce a little bit of your acceleration. For example usually within 1 second you hit 3krpm, immediately shift up, this is a good way to lose petrol. Can try take 2 seconds to hit 3krpm, follow by 3 seconds. You'll be surprise by practicing this alone already save you bunch of fuel.
5) Sometimes it's not 5th gear 2krpm all the way can save petrol. If uphill slope, let the cruising speed slow down a little bit. If needed, downshift and maintain slightly higher RPM, you'll be surprise it actually save petrol with higher RPM on low gear, rather than low RPM in higher gear when going uphill.
6) From far already see traffic light red light, still go and "bem! bem!" show off, ofcoz waste petrol la. I normally declutch and let the car roll until stop. If suddenly turn green light, drop gear and continue acceleration.

Basically thats about it. Lazy to explain technical alreay sleep.gif

Out of all the gauges, fuel level gauge is 1 of the most unpredictable gauge. It's float weight NOT calibrated, some car lighter, some heavier. My case is heavy, tend to give me illusion of petrol saving. When car is travelling, my fuel gauge doesn't go down. My 1st bar normally can last up to 80km before it lesap. After I stop my engine, the float settled then it become 1 bar less.

Some lighter float like dares case, up hill, hilang 1 bar, downhill 1 bar extra, go flat road, back to normal again.

Really can't tell how many km before the alert indicator lite up.

you guys can test this first :
1) always use minimum aircond temperature. saga aircond is fuel sarker.
2) light foot pedal
3) use petronas 95 fuel when highway driving. town driving whatever fuel is no difference.
4) pedal to the metal will suck ur petrol more.
5) reduce idling, traffic jam.
