yup. for more accurate, pump the petrol after it reach "distance to empty"=50km, fill the tank around rm80, which is almost full. reset trip meter to zero, drive around n check the meter when it reach "distance to empty"=50km. then calculate manually:
ron95;
rm1.90/l -> rm80 = 42l
trip meter = 400km/42l
thus it equal to, fc = 10.5l/100km

I hv one good suggestion which i always used to check my wife myvi 1.3cc manual for fuel consumption that is

1st, pump full tank until almost overflow ( a little bit overflow at mouth of refuel hole), not need to know how much u pump in. after that immediately reset trip meter to "0" before start to drive ur car.

2nd, then, drive ur car like usual until indicator light up to refill it. ( try to memorise where u drive mostly, city or highway if can )

3rd, then, go to pump station, and record down ur total distance from trip meter, say trip meter shown 450km for example. meaning that u hv travel 450km from last full tank (which almost overflow one)

4th, now pump full tank until almost overflow again ( a little bit overflow at mouth of refuel hole like previous pump) to see how much fuel u need to replace it until same level. Now check ur amount of fuel pump in , say RM 60.00 or 31.58 litres for example for RON 95.

5th, now u can use 450km as recorded in trip meter divided by 31.58 litres to get 14.25km / litre which equal to 7.02 litres / 100km.

In my opinion, this is most accurate method to measure ur fuel consumption compare to those digital display which i always doubt on it. (This call replacement method since u can pump it until almost overflow which u can see by ur eye to make sure it is same level of full tank between last pump and current pump)


BTW, my wife myvi fuel consumption really around 14km / litre , i hv checked it a lot of time already about 60% city and 40% highway


Still dilema in deciding for buying Honda City 1.5E or Kia Forte 2.0SX, although I know I should not compare between different Segment car , but I compare them because both fall into my budget.

Aiya , oredi did research from Internet more than one month Lar , but still cannot conclude now , supposed today after work need to meet up the SA for Kia forte to ask more, but for sure he will try to talk about good thing for forte Lar . I more Concern on quality & reliability compare to Honda . For FC , as long as not below 9km / litre for worst case then I still can accept it . For resale value , as long as the depreciation not extra more than 10% compare to civic 2.0 then I still also can accept it .

seems like more and more owners got their cars from AZ MASTER! honestly, i've been seeing a lot of fortes with AZ MASTER's plate frame on the road. and they are in fact new, based on the registration number. i gotten my car from them 2 months ago... loving every moment of it  rclxms.gif

Ya correct correct , better all buyer go for AZ master , so he can sell more and get more discount from naza and pass the saving to end user . Perhaps later Kia motor from korean will look for AZ master for joint venture , and kick out naza . Haha .. Dreaming

before 40 000km service - my forte for a full tank can go about 520-560km before the DTE left about 60-70km.
now after 40 000km service - my forte only can go between 400km-480km before the DTE left about 60-70km.

Funny why ur fc become worse ??

So many old and repeat & repeat again for same problem like rattling sound on dashboard and left pull issues still happen until now. Why the Naza Kia dun bother also ? why not they solve it before hand over cars to buyer ? Are they aware the problems and try to solve it or improve it ? ? Or they really fun have Quality control ?? All these will make a lot people who are considering in buying forte to think twice !! Although is not major problems but buyer mostly expect problem free for new car !

is there any lucky guy whose hv no problem for the left pull issue and rattling sound after having new car ??

The DTE when reach E it wont show anymore. I have tested when start blinking i still can drive from Kuchai Lama back to Pandan Indah. Should be around 15km with no traffic jam. IMO 20KM should be fine. test at ur own risk... tongue.gif

Come on , if really want to know ur actual balance of fuel inside the tank when the DTE blinking , immediate and quickly go to pump station refuel until full tank and see how much fuel u need to make it full then minus with forte spec full tank of 52 liters , then u should know roughly how much balance of fuel remaining in ur tank once DTE blinking .

Okay I might try it out. Have been very loyal to Petronas. Haha. Guys, where do you see ECO mode? I remember seeing someone saying ECO mode before but I have no idea where to see ECO mode in forte 1.6sx? Or is it only for 2.0?

I hv seen this Eco mode in YouTube Kia forte hatchback which I think in us version, I dun think forte here hv it .

If their factory engineers had taken steps to counter this noise problem, then less headache & work for SC. I think it is the foam material they use inside the dashboard. For my case, normal time, dashboard silent but after park in the sun more than 30 mins, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra in full swing. Sometimes so embarrased when fetch guests.

Same with pull to left issue..... if outside workshop can do it, what the hell are they doing in Gurun? Tidur ka???????????????

If they can kautim these few problems before the cars leave the factory, customers will be happy & keep Kia brand name. Now ppl hear got these type of problems also "kia" (scared in hokkien). Sorry to say, as much as I love Kia brand, I will not buy another one in the future if it is assembled by factory full of incompetent engineers!

200% agree !! No no, is 1000000% agree on it .

I realize if you wanna achieve below 10L/100km at instant,  ur RPM shall be around 2000. I was thinking if keep on like this sooner the car don't know will become underpowered or not....

Actually , anyone know what is the best way to breaking ur new forte car ? IMO, it should affect performance or fc of car in long term . What is handbook of forte stated for break in period ?
