QUOTE(GRexer @ Jul 24 2012, 10:17 PM) Just no used to it. It just means I have to stop for fuel ups more often now my car is also quite new. i get about 15km/l on the highway too but city driving is only 8.5-9km/l. could be due to grippier tyres though. it's quite worrying as my other car, Honda City, gets 11km/l at least on city drives with the same tyres. Not sure whether to get the 1k service done this Friday or next Monday. It's close to 800km now and that exhaust flexi vibration is really getting on my nerves. Best FC to date is on the highway at 15.3km/L, not sure if the fuel tank wasn't fueled up to full properly, but City driving so far is around 10-10.5km/L. anyone knows how to improve the FC? i am already very gentle on throttle. |

QUOTE(GRexer @ Jul 24 2012, 11:10 PM) So far, both my tanks of city driving are close to 10km/L, have yet to go for first service, 3rd tankful of petrol now. I'm not sure why you mentioned "grippier tyres", that is, unless you've upgraded the stock tyres. The City, if it's the iDSi, is sorta a lean burn model, can't compare with a normal, slightly revvy IAFM engine of the Saga. Being gentle on the throttle doesn't necessarily gives better FC, giving the right throttle input for the right load is the crucial thing, drive it like a manual, not an auto. grippier tyres = Michelin PS3. i drove 3km down the road to my regular tyre shop and traded the stocks in the very hour i got my car. my City is the VTEC one. it's not exactly that efficient but still doing better. btw, mine is a FLX SE (CVT). so, there's nothing really to do except hit the accelerator or lift off. |

QUOTE(GRexer @ Jul 24 2012, 11:22 PM) Ah.. No wonder, that was my initial plan as well but I've decided to just use the stock tyres while I hunt for a set of Japanese wheels. Well.. Anyway, what I meant in terms of "driving like a manual" is the throttle input. I'm not so sure if you had driven a manual, but, sorta, in a sense, you rarely take your foot off the throttle, merely using the throttle to control the acceleration and deceleration. Driving it like an auto will mean you'll be stepping on the brakes and throttle heavily far too often than needed. Never driven a City VTEC so I can't comment on the FC, but the Jazz iDSi in my family is helluva decent FC car. that's how i usually drive... the CVTs for both cars have a decent amount of engine braking so, stepping on brakes are not really necessary. in fact, i get annoyed when people step on the brakes for no good reason |
