I can get about 6.6L/100km to 6.8L/100km and full tank can get about 550km to 590km. If convert to cents would say 0.15cents/km to 0.17cents/km. Got once the lowest i manage is 0.12cents/km.My wife owns a forte and its FC is dissapointing, I hope Elantra is better.

Switching on or off doesn't make any changes to the car behavior unlike those active ECO mode in some car where the ECU will switch into different profile. Your observation same as mine.Also, when you use the 0 - 30L/100KM bar meter, it will overwrite the ECO indicator. To my observation, if you rev below 2.5k-3k you will mostly get ECO light on.

Once u mastered it, you dont have to press the pedal the car will also move hehe. |

I test my wife Forte myself and still the result is about the same. As for me, I usually hit 500KM/40L on my old vios. So it is not much about heavy leg. |

Actually fc is a very subjective thing and it depends on your driving style. A person that likes to accelerate and braking a lot will eventually use more petrol. So to avoid from doing so, anticipate the traffic if the car in front is moving slow, don't la go and tekan hard and then braking hard. Similarly if the car in front is slowing down just release the pedal and let the car move naturally to a stop if the front car stop. Sorry maybe you already knew this but just sharing my thoughts only.Ouch, that is what my wife Forte FC. For those who said it is about driving habit, I really doubt about that.
