OMG guys, my new flx 1.3 manual.. I think it only manage to hit 9.5KM/L

I never try above 3k rpm, nor accelerate or decelerate fast. Is it because it is still new or what?

Mileage?
*
Currently total distance traveled is about 203km.

When I got my car, the sales girl put in RM20, and then I fuel up with RM35 (full tank), however it is still one bar lower. (total 6 bar, only 5 bar was filled)

Now its 2 bar left.

Ah your car so new. Yea new car generally has higher FC.

It should improve after 1k to 5k service

Thanks bro, so its my range acceptable? I mean some of them can hit 15km/L.

Furthermore, would u mind to explain why is that so (Engine not fully lubricated yet?).

And there is rumors saying that, you have to drive a long distance or throttle your car to 4k or 5k rpm just to make ur engine live up (I have yet to find some solid information regarding this rumor). Would u mind to clarify?

A tip for you, the last bar actually has 2 stage, one is non-blink, and another one with blinking (with orange/amber-colored Fuel light should come out at your meter by now), by the time it blinks, you still have 10-litre left inside the tank, I can easily do 390km until it starts to blink, mine is 1.6-litre IAFM.  smile.gif

Thanks bro, wow, so thats mean, even after it blink, there will be still quarter of fuel left? Saga fuel tank is about 40litres right?

Try not to drive til the last bar of fuel before refueling, you run the risk of permaturely spoiling your fuel pump.

Oh ok.. thanks lot for all the tips.. erm, the last bar u mentioned does it mean by blinking last bar or non blinking last bar?

Before last bar, no blinking. In fact, I refuel when I reach 3 bars sweat.gif

But there is one reading saying that, more fuel = more weight, which in turn increase FC.

Etc, etc, etc...

Sorry...sad.gif

1) RM60 petrol, run until 210km left 1 bar. (Petronas RON95 for first full tank)
2) City, normally very short distance (travel from house to school and back home about 4km whole journey)
3) I never step hard on throttle, rpm normally around 1.5k to 2k, hardly above. I dun accelerate fast as well, just let it slowly pick up the speed.
4) Normally 1 to 2 passengers, no heavy loads. (few laptops maximum)
