ok then. but there's too many factors.. and probably the driver

My BLM always 50km/bar, be it haiway or town driving right foot ady super light coz menten above 10in/hg vacuum it will be great if can get Luke to drive my car and finish my tank of petrol to see whether its car problem or driver problem I've tried every possible way, still FC stands at 10-11km/l kinda numb ady after 3 months suffer

Okay, just filled up. Here's the trip summary for those who were following:

- Filled up full tank at Tapah last Wednesday, on the 13th

- Naik Cameron Highlands via Tapah road. My first time driving on the road but I did overtake slower vehicles on the way up. First bar dropped at 70 km.

- Turun via Simpang Pulai road, used PLUS for a short distance to Ipoh

- Did some driving around Ipoh. Moderate start-stop traffic.

- Drove on to Penang via PLUS. Highway was clear, cruised at 110 km/h

- Drove around Penang, about 30 km. Slight jam at Weld Quay.

- Car was not used from last Thursday till this afternoon. I did about 50 km on the Island just now.

Total distance is 415 km, on 30.140 litres, giving 7.3L/100km or 13.8 km/L.

PS I think my tyre pressures are 34 PSI front, 32 PSI rear.

Done that before too, a long time ago. I think it was like 109 km or something. But seems like Coolkwc's Gaga is in even better shape than mine, I don't think I can' touch 140 km for the first bar Or maybe his fuel level float is very biased towards the first few bars

In my experience the most efficient speed on my Gaga is 80-90 km/h. Any faster and the air resistance saps more energy than necessary.

So you think my right foot is god-like

I think you've tried very hard already, so something must be wrong with your Gaga, I don't know. Maybe the first owner did not break it in properly

Anyways, read this to see what the Gaga is capable of

Hi there, I wanna ask about service. My current mileage is 14,440KM, and the STICKER that SC stick at my car said next oil change is at 15,000KM meanwhile at the service booklet say at 20,000KM. which one should I follow? my last service is at 10,000KM.

yes, it's stock car.
for high speed, not always constant, sometime rev and sometime break...

that one for highway, but on city drive, the factor not much, it was achievable for city drive too

bro, manual always won auto/cvt la
btw, @ 3,600 RPM, my speed is around 155 km/h, i think if maintaining that without slowing down, maybe >120KM per bar achievable @ 3,600 RPM, the car feel smoother and the engine providing best efficiency power to it, i should try it next time
anyway, your FC really geng!!
any modding done to your car? maybe fuel saver, lighten up the weight, air aerodynamic?

but you mention 1st bar 140KM, 2nd bar 120KM... maybe when come to 6th bar, it huge drop
i said so because i got constant reduce for 1st to 4th bar (100++KM per bar), mean i got 500KM++ when it come to the last bar (might get 550KM++ when start to blink)

Follow the service booklet. 20,000 km.

Normally i travel from JB -> Ipoh, i fuel it full at Skudai, i only refuel when reach Ipoh, total mileage is about 520km.

Of course i'm slow poke, always done 110km/h only, becos poorfag scare love letter from police.

But honestly since i bought my car, you nv saw even a post from me that complaint about high FC of this car, when i saw u guys post <10km/L, i'm like speechless and just keep diam diam only. Maybe my driving style? or i'm lucky to get a low FC engine? i'm not sure, dun shoot me, my full tank (mostly 33.XL) won't go down 350km even once, normally >400km/tank at normal city drive.

Driving style, shift @ 2.5-3k RPM, that's it. Sometimes get challenge red line all the way, but only few sec, won't kill FC so much.

Anyway, no fuel saver in my car or any other mod, just a K&N drop in, and 5W30 FS oil, and tell u, Petronas 95.

u can be hyper-milling sifu ni <cc: davidke20>
it's driving style in kl, stuck in traffic jam and aircond at highest temp
for manual car, if u drag the gear too long it'll consume more fuel
that's why one must get to the highest gear as fast as possible and as condition allows

i've nvr driven manual blm so nvr knew optimum shift point
but if i ever drive a manual, it'll be based on the engine sound

question is does our sense correct? if wrong then that's the problem of high fc

Yup, true, I've driven my FLX SE non-stop from KL to Pendang, Kedah which is 5 hour 400+km travel, no issue on the Punch VT2 gearbox

go and look at the back of your car again.

You sure it doesnt say "myvi"?

another runaway FC discussion....next topic pls

Just let me wrap this up first yah

I think there's nothing wrong with his right foot or driving style. It's the car. There's quite a bit of difference between his Gaga BLM and Iswaga's consumption on Fuelly, if you notice.

Generally, that is the rule I practice, but make sure you have enough torque to climb uphill or accelerate to merge with traffic. With the low ratio Aichi Kikai gearbox though, the car is pretty forgiving if a high gear is incorrectly selected.
For maximum fuel economy I shift according to the meters, not by feel. I can drive by feel too, but your senses are subjective and could be inaccurate. The meters never lie, unless they've malfunctioned. But you do need a good senses too, for example when to coast downhill (in gear, of course), when to coast so that you'll stop ngam ngam right behind the car in front with minimal brake application at a traffic queue.

And of course, if you drive a manual car with really good NVH, you can't really feel the car so you gotta refer back to your meters

Sense? Even my left foot can't trust my right foot with DbW. What else can go wrong by strictly following 10~20in/hg vacuum(-0.3~-0.6bar)



Really given up jor. Until I found a way to hit 500km/tank, then only I'll talk about it again.
enough FC lar... I'm going to bed, until next topic

you guys know any good proton service center around subang? i went for my 1k service at ss14, the mechanic is a SOB

but last time u got a good fc also right? or at least normal fc
if i'm not mistaken the picture with 3/4 bar left with 2xx km?

Sin Siang Hin mah... lol
sudah popular with their kejahilan.

yeah.. true also. i forgot he also hv vacuum meter which is even better than rpm meter

previously i nvr care about fc, jz when people saying that campro fc is bad
i want to figure it out as now i owns a proton with campro.

my previous car was civic eg 1.5 carb sohc non vtec, inherited from my dad
nvr care about fc tho.. when felt challenged, i drove like i stole it.

can't rmmber any hyper-milling action on that car

regarding saga i also nvr experience dbw on clutch.. i'll probably stalled it more often

for me section 13 is better than mutiara damansara.

Well, sometimes it tricked me. When I was happily see the trip meter went to 200+ km whilst still doing 3 box, then the rest of the box will quickly run dry. Again, maxed the tank at 300+ km. Now I don't even bother la. Sometimes 30km already 1 box gone, but it will still last up to 280km~300km.

your signature gonna get nuked clean

OK, left GaGa only

diuz...david, go resize ur siggy or il click report.
