wah bro, your sig shows avanza such fantastic fc. true or not?
Can. How?:
1. Use no air cond 80% of the time
2. Manual transmission, free gear whenever nearing stop or going down hill (not steep hill like genting/cameron of course)
3. Avoid unnecessary pressing on the brakes by keeping a balance distance with the car in front. When car in front brake, release throttle pedal. I seldom need to press my brake if the car in front press their brake for about less than 2 seconds. If they brake > 2 seconds, I will ready myself to press my brake once I get too close
4. No sudden acceleration from idle. Need to be very disciplined. Accelerate slooowwly. Used to press the pedal a lot when I was driving my work horse Iswara.
5. Drive in JB

Can't get this fc when I was living in KL. JB driving is more relaxed.

Normally I maintain 80 to 90km/h on highway driving around JB. My car gives the best fc if I can maintain 3,000 rpm (80km/h) and below. Again, JB is relatively small compared to KL. 80km/h is fast enough to get you to your destination in a reasonable time.
6. As everyone knows, maintain a balance tire pressure
Not sure whether the fully synthetic oil and michelin tires plays a big part. I feel it does help in fc. I also send to authorized SC 100% of the time. It helps that my current company pays for my car's maintenance

Not expecting to get this fc when I buy an EB. Not an expert, just don't think a CVT can match manual transmission in terms of fc. I may be wrong. Just my 5 sen.
