My friend's 2009 Saga BLM 1.3 managed only 9km/litre mixed driving... terrible FC but it was already since day 1 he bought the car...
*
i still follow saga fc threads since i got the blm auto in 2008. mileage now 50k. full city driving but heavy foot.
mileage been always the same for last 5 years ...

rm50 for 150km
or
23.8 litres for 150km
or 6.3km per litre

if i use caltex mileage drops below 135km

anyone got worse than my fc? sigh sigh ...

That's really terrible.. I would sell the car without hesitation unless your usage (mileage wise) is superb light use... 1 day only run 5km to go across the street buying some thing..

For normal use.. it would incur much cost compare to buying a newer car with better enjoyment.

i agree. my friend who bought it in 2009 also same fc. i sent back to service centre many time earlier in 2008/9but cant do much. sc staff told me they recd several complaints also.

6.3km per liter???!!! Whatttttt........

Mine Saga FLX full city drive(ipoh, no highway to speak of), normal drive, 11.2~11.3km per liter.....

Are you sure your car not defective? It drinks more oil than a 20 year old old 2.2liter Camry.............
*

FLX really tat good? anyone with flx can comment?
yes, i think mine was somehow defective. damn!!

6.3km/l is ridiculous, even for a CamtakPro Saga BLM AT. It is definitely not normal.

bro. it is ridiculous as u had replied me in other fc threads. i sent back to sc many times for 'tuning' and still cannot improve on fc.

i remember the first rm50 petrol in 2008. tank went empty after hitting 220km (old petrol price then) and i thot something bocorrrr!!

As mahihi has mentioned, use a vacuum meter to monitor your driving habits.

If you are in KL, come join our TT on Fridays so we can help you check if there is anything wrong with your car. Maybe your petrol tank leaking kot  rclxub.gif

See your break drum..
If there's some rust on the drum means your break pump jammed...
And also try to servis your IAFM(doesn't need to change)

Mine BLM(A) 08 still can achieve around 12km/l with light foot
Millage 70k km

thanks bro. will do it.
