Driving slow with low RPM doesn't necessarily means save fuel, because you reach your destination slower.

If you're a MT driver, you can dyno your car to observe the RPM range where your engine performs the most efficient, then try to keep driving and shifting in that range for optimum fuel efficiency.

For AT drivers....no choice

ya, i know V12K driving CVT, but actually i dedicate that question to MR.K-23...

i use to cruise at that speed most of the time and able to get 7.3 L / 100KM,
but now i changing my driving style where cruising at between 90 to 100 kmph...

yeah, agree with that, low RPM doesn't mean save fuel.
every car have the 'optimum/eco' speed where delivery the best performance meanwhile save fuel efficiently
so far i tried few constant speed for my FLX CVT, and every re-fuel, i will change to different constant speed
and realised that the best 'eco' speed is between 90 to 100 kmph...

80~90 kmph : 68+/- KM per bar
90~100 kmph : 75+/- KM per bar
100~110 kmph : 70+/- KM per bar
110~140 kmph : 65+/- KM per bar
140~180 kmph : 55+/- KM per bar

and it depend on the condition of road also
if just short distances like 2 or 3 km
i think 70kmh will more save fuel than 100kmh
of course if for long distance drive, 90kmh is the best eco speed

btw, here's my average FC for different speed :
80~90 kmph : 68+/- KM per bar
90~100 kmph : 75+/- KM per bar
100~110 kmph : 70+/- KM per bar
110~140 kmph : 65+/- KM per bar
140~180 kmph : 55+/- KM per bar

cvt really good
almost same with manual drive already
no ppl try out caltex lubricant?

have you tried that? any good advantage to our engine? if it could reduce the engine noise and better pickup, then i can consider that for my next service

This post has been edited by gogoman86: Nov 26 2011, 11:56 AM

for me...SL,SM or SN also not much difference although ppl say have
for me...i'd recommend u read the label there if there any word saying molybdenum, ester or PAO
if yes..thn you're good to go

not yet ,that why need some comments/advice from u all
i"m using syntium 800 sm 10w-40 recently
and my next svc due next 2weeks.
my choices: mobil,castrol,havoline
mobil and castrol can purchase from tesco with cheaper price but havoline only can purchase via caltex station
but i know the caltex ron95 really awesome. if their engine lubricant good as their fuel also, that worth to try it out

yes...driving slow with low RPM doesn't mean save fuel
but driving fast with low RPM will save fuel...thats becuz you're maintaining the RPM much longer
higher RPM of course will consume more fuel
every car have their optimum speed to best save fuel...most car is 90KM/H
saga is 85KM/H...more precise is 80KM/H cuz that when the IAFM in action...but 85KM/H is best to maintain it

Added on November 26, 2011, 12:05 pmif u want reduce engine noise and better pickup...try oil that contains "molybdenum"
from what i know...i know 2 brand that contains it...liqui moly and eneos
there could be more brand that contains it...read the label

This post has been edited by MR_alien: Nov 26 2011, 12:06 PM

syntium seem like does not have "molybdenum"

those cheap oil shell and petronas dn't have those la
i use it all the time last time..all the way becuz its cheap
last time its RM90 right?...now hike 2 time become RM10X already
so i didn't use those oil already....
the liqui moly i use is RM120 only...the shell HX-7 in my place is RM109
add RM11 more only but the oil that i use is SL
but i can tell u...it's more quiet and much smoother than those SM's shell and petronas(BISING)

from what i know...i only know liqui moly and eneos have molybdenum..the label have write
and it will make your car quiet and smooth
if u want better pickup/light engine/easy to rev...buy oil that contains "ester and PAO"

Proton SA frm last night called me just now....

FLX SE 1.6 Solid RM49,499, Metallic RM49,899. Suppose to launch next week, his showroom got launch event say he'll call me.

not only 2 colour?..red and white?
why got solid and metallic?

Both color also got solid or metallic, according to him. I also doubt this part, maybe confused.

hmm...usually red and white are solid...never had metallic be4

On a totally unrelated note...Inspira got 5k discount (No free service after the first three) + free Ipad2

Such oils are TRUE synthetics...

if u use any oil...ordinary oil and u want that ester and PAO
also can
buy a can of "revo addictives"...thn can already

Mix this mix that engine die faster.
