2-3km drive is short..of course got some changes in fc. but not sure how much.

town drive and most short distance will impact ur car FC very very much unless ur car is full electric car ..due to ur engine has to work hard on low speed and stop and go ..

wow.. 12L/100km for a vios? even a short town driving, the fc went up too high. but can't expect much since yours is auto

normal, my fc is totally diff/high when i drove in my hometown melaka compared to cyberjaya..

fc better in melaka or cyberjaya?
btw most the road in kampar is full of speed bumps,i have to start/stop every 200m and most of the time the speed is within 40km/h

fc better in cyberjaya cuz mostly im on LDP.. melaka too much red light and too many junctions..

I got 7L/100km on my smart already bising. Usually get around 6L/100km for city driving. Gonna crack open the throttle body to check.

I'm in Kampar too.. and i get only 9km/l due to short trips.. from utar to home, from home to utar.. from east lake to west lake, from west lake to east lake.. short short.. that day tested drive to and fro from kampar to subang and I got 12.5km/L.. lol.. big difference eh

vios too?

Vios only 8l/100km? I thought it is better since a lot of people claim that it is fuel efficient.

LDP has one of the worst traffic ever.. wat time u drivin on LDP?

Agree that Mlk has too many red lights, wonder who owns the company that install the lights...

nope.. wira turbo

Big city. You only get to see a traffic light every 5 or 6 km. And a trip could mean 10 or 20km.

In small town. You get to see traffic light every 2 or 3 km. In fact, an entire trip may be only 2 or 3 km. So small town may use more petrol.

what was the driving condition when you get 8L/100km before this?
vehicle speed which affecting your gear shifting also play a role in FC..

aircon usage is major role as well apart from constant start stop.
try lowering aircon coldness. dont leave car on idle with aircon full blast at coldest setting to improved FC

i stay i puchong, so i didnt thru the heavy traffic area.. mostly light to medium traffic only..

i hve no idea who got the tender.. but confirm he rich..
