thats a very daring try bro, but scary...
At least now u guys know that u can fill up to 80L. So dont worry too much when the last bar starts blinking. I travelled about 40km after that.V2 Kia Optima K5 club

tested the car today.
It was awesome. Spec for spec this is value for money vs any similar Japs. Power is adequate and tyre noise is no so loud, even quieter than the Sonata. Same level as VW Passat CKD. Good choice guys! |

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Jul 22 2012, 06:22 PM) Its always good to know your maximum range. Ive done this on previous cars as well. This comes in handy in emergencies. i managed to get 765k. Filled up petrol only 70ltr, distance to end 800km. Damn save a lot..like this car very much.The reason why you can almost always fill more than your tank's capacity is because the max fuel sensor is not really located at the brim of the tank. Thats why if u really fill, the first bar takes ages to drop, but subsequent bars are much faster. Same with other cars too. But my question is, how come we can fill up to 10L more than the specified tank capacity? I can understand about 4 or even 5L max, but 10L??? Added on July 22, 2012, 5:24 pm Most of the time, i fill between 72-76L of fuel. Very rarely i fill below 70L. My previous record was 78.95L when i first got the car. But now ive managed 80.26L. My distance travelled was 780km. This consisted of 80% highway driving at 160-170kmph and the rest in city traffic. Quite good i must say. The fuel economy is improving as the car gets more mileage. |

Quite good i must say. The fuel economy is improving as the car gets more mileage. That's only about 9.7 km/l. Would that be considered good for 80% highway? Though you were going at 160-170 kmh.Say, at that speed what is your rpm? |

I wuold say that was quite good as it was a high rev drive without eco. If you know the eco mode well enough, ull know that on highway drives, our gearing is quite often on 4th - 5th as you need to slow down and speed up quite often especially if there is traffic. Plus, fuel economy really drops in city driving in KL especially. Your first gear consumption can sometimes hit 90L/100km so in stop start traffic that will really eat into your fuel economy.Say, at that speed what is your rpm? Well at 200kmph, the RPM is at 4100.

Push it another 50km the next time and check your range. Distance to empty will depend on your previous tank's fuel economy.This post has been edited by cybermaster98: Jul 23 2012, 08:15 AM |
