Im using Continental ContiMAX Contact.Its way quiter than stock Bridgestones.Pretty good in wet & dry conditions.

YOKOHAMA A DRIVE ada bagus tak? Whee find tayar revieww?

Google it bro!

Around RM300 per piece..

tuanpunya insight satu tank minyak boleh jalan berapa?

bergantung pada gaya pemanduan.
Dengan full tank saya boleh pegi KL-Kuantan-KL dan KL-JB-KL maintain 100-110km/h

Secara purata, dari tangki penuh, pandu sampai lampu warning minyak rendah nyala lebih kurang 650km. Isi balik penuh pakai dalam RM60 (lebih kurang 32 liter).

Paling teruk tekan pun i dapat dalam 500km. Paling jimat (highway bawak 100km/j sepanjang jalan) i boleh sampai 750km sebelum lampu warning menyala. Minyak dalan tangki spare cukup untuk melepasi 800km.

What speed and road condition you driving with this kind of figures?

tuanpunya insight, mintak tanya apa kebaikan kereta roda jenis insight.

Nice figure there.. Same as mine.. 650km before light up and indicate 50km to go.. But i believe it can go further..

driving at 60kmh?

It's not that extreme la... as an insighter urself, why you seems very surprised with such figures

20km per liter is achievable, in highway driving around 110 You'll get 21-22km/l (iirc)
If you drive at 100, it'll raise to 23-24 km/l

Average that with normal city driving at 17-19km/l

Your total average should hit 19.x km/l

Anyway, I think you may have read posts from me where my trip to work is very short (2km) and it's on short stretch of 6 roads of about 250 meter each, where you just physically can't drive up to 60km.. In such a case, I'll just cruise along at acceptable speed around 45km/h since it's just a short stretch of road, with lots of turnings here and there, and a couple of speed bumps to boot!

In such a case, it's not like I'm driving slow to purposely get high milleage (which maybe the impression u got), but it just doesn't make sense for me to hit up to 60, 70km/h and then immediately need to step on the brake to make a turn, or because of a speed bump.. I think each driver have their own scenario..

As cbinn mentioned, the optimal speed is actually around 80km/h if you can crusie near that speed, it's possible you will get 28km/l!

Nope.. 50% highway (KL-manjung-KL).. Included jam in mrr2 driving to work.. Max speed at highway is 140km-150km.. Econ button only off during taking over other cars.. Highways normally using autocruise.. Done this few times already..

I work in Puchong, so half of the daily journey to office is in jam and the km/l reading is below 18km/l, but I do get good reading on the other half of journey (usually 25km/l), so average out I have about 20+km/l in terms of fuel consumption.

Assuming that the computer is accurate in calculating the fuel consumption (I find mine very accurate), 20km/l means 30 liter will give you around 600km.

You do not need to drive below 60km/h to achieve this figures, in fact, I found that the best fuel efficiency is achieved when cruising between 70 to 90km/h (the meter normally shows 25 to 28km/l when cruising at this speed range). Therefore, I get best efficiency reading when cruising at road like LDP, federal highway or kesas when it is not jammed.

Above 90km/h speed, efficiency started to drop, at 110km/h e.g. north south highway, I only get around 20 - 22km/l. But still, this is far better than any non-hybrid car, which is doing somewhere between 10 to 15km/l in average.

Maybe the figures is not much difference if you only travel outstation occasionally, but for me which is doing close to 5000km a month, that will be saving of about RM 500 to RM 600 each month.

How to get this figure? You need not drive as slow as 60km/l, but to 'cruise' the car whenever possible (monitor the km/l reading and try to keep it above 20km/l, if can reach 25km/l even better) and maximize regenerative braking (anticipate traffic stop and brake lightly slightly earlier instead of braking hard last minute). I already achieved my highest throphy in a month time, so I set myself a target, at least 20km/l in each trip (see attached pic). Of course occasionally I will miss it e.g. stucked in bad jam in bukit bintang area, but average out, I still doing about 22km/l at the end of each tank of fuel.

Yup I agree with you guys. It's still better than a non hybrid car. I realized that u guys took the information from the multi-display. My opinion, I dont trust it and it may not be accurate. My traveling is something similar to yours and still I cannot achieved what most of you got.

My way of getting the figure which I think is more accurate rather than relying on the display. ( this is
Just my point of view).
1st I pump full tank regardless how much
Liter. I set my meter to 0. Then travel till the display range show 0 and the meter read say 550km. Then I pump full tank 2nd time. I will use the 2nd full tank liter to calculate. Example 2nd pump full tank is 33 liter, and I use it to calculate with my 1st pump journey which is 550km. So the results I get is 550km devide by 33 liter = 16.6km/liter.

I agree with your way of getting the fuel consumption figures, but come to think about it, I am also calculating it almost the same way, not entirely just reading it out from the MID display.

I program my MID LCD display to have trip A automatically reset each time I refuel so I do not have to manually reset it (check the user manual if you want to know how that can be programmed). So my trip A odometer starts from 0km as soon as I filled up my tank to full. Then I drive till the low fuel warning light comes on. At this point, if I look at my trip A odometer, I get on average 650km, and the remaining range displayed by the MID is usually 120+km. The fuel needle on the analogue gauge is roughly pointing at 10% position. From previous experience, I can easily get around another 80 to 90km out of the remaining fuel even after taking into consideration stopping and waiting at traffic jam and junctions.

When I refuel at the first moment I get low fuel warning, I usually can feed in around 31 liters of fuel before tank is full. So based on calculation the way you suggested, I can get 650km out of 31 liters, which is 20.97km/l, and that's pretty close to the 21km/l reading calculated and displayed by my MID display.

My MID display trip B was never reset from day one I collected my car, so the km/l reading is the average reading of all my driving from the day I collected my car till now. My trip B average reading is currently 21.2km/l. I am targetting to get above 22km/l by this year end, as I am scoring around 23km/l at the end of each tank of fuel right now.

Sense of achievement (I dun mind if people think I syok sendiri for this one, at least I syok), saving my pocket and saving the environment. 3 birds with one stone, what more can I ask for?

yup ... can get 20 easyly one need to drive avg speed and not pressing hard and avoid jam la

if start stop a lot waste energy ..

Yup. More accurate this way.

Your distance / top up = fuel consumption.

It always show slightly lower than the car system.

thanks for all the feed backs....

anyone bought this cabin filter?
