You can check my fuelly.com to know detail. But you need to wait for next 1-3 months to know it. I dont think I will gain any FC improvement because of mixed driving (urban + highway).

Common sense tells me only will improve FC with 100% city drive.

With lighter rim, you loss momentum in highway driving and i believe you need to press accel pedal to keep certain speed.

Anyone who has replced with lighter rim, they can share experience.

Ok. That is good rim!!! M.A.T. ... That i couldnt found in Penang.

I think that is chrome silver, I guess... Very shining. Put on the car lagi garang .. Because I am uncle level already.. The rim is not flat... All the rims can be easily get scratched when you hit border even you have good tyre with rim protection. That's why I dont like.

Dont let them poison you. You ask them match for you and see. Also consider the weight. I very particular with the weight. so I choose PDC. But PDE or ES6 also very good.

Definately braking is smoother than before..

To explain about momentum. Let me explain in this way .... You drive from one start point ..For example: Within 10 seconds you accelerate your car to 80km/h and release the accel pedal and check if the car can go how far... without hit the brake pedal

1. With heavy rim, your car sure will roll further because of momentum.

2. Lighter rim... sure will not go further because no weight to push it keep running.


The super heavy weight big truck or lorry are very dangerous when they drive very fast. Because no way for them to do efficient braking. The momentum will keep pushing the truck move further.

You have to train your right leg.
1. Dont press fuel pedal siok siok. For example when crawling, dont press fuel kuat kuat then press brak frequently.
2. Dont cabar people. I saw many idiots cabar me, when I slow down after saw red light in front of me. They cut me, accelerate more and then stop at the traffic light. What is the point?
3. If have chance, try change to better LRR tyre, like Michelin Energy MX2. It is cheap for 16" - RM380
4. Use 5W30 or 5W20 Full sync engine oil.

Your EX with 16" rim suppose the FC should be better than SX in city drive.

My SX achieved average 8.5L/100KM in mixed city and urban drive. I expect your EX should hit at least 10L/100KM in full City Drive.

Dont get it wrong... Dont maintain the RPM below 2000. Sometimes, you keep your car dragging in low gear will cause your FC even worst...

If no car in front, accelarate kau kau .. let it run ... maintain 60-80km/h is the best for FC.

Please use fuelly.com to calculate FC. That is the best way to calculate accurately... You have to pump full tank everytime.

Thanks for sharing... This is good info.

So the bottom line is, if you spend most of the time in highway driving, dont change the rim. Will not help anything.

The odometer tak boleh pakai one... got one time I reached 7.7L/100KM but actually one is 8.6L/100KM.. And then one time hit 8.2L/100KM, but actually one is 8.4L/100KM.

Mine working perfectly. Even got 3mil tinted

At least I got member didnt know about telescopic like me.....

If you have budget 85K only - grab it now .... If you have more money can go up to 100K, wait for K3. Should be end of this year or early next year.

Wow.. you calculate with fuelly or what? 7.9L/100KM very good.
1. You make any modification on your car?
2. What is the Average value from your meter?
3. What brand of fuel you are using now?

You are heavy footer kut .... Try BHP .. I am using it all the while.

After I drive my car 20-30mins .. I can hear some tiny noise when I accelerate my car. Sounds like something rattling or knocking.

Is this something called engine knocking? How to resolve this?

Average speed unit is km/h ... Check your meter and see. For example mine always average 32km/h.

You said the meter show 8.6L/100KM but your own calculation is 7.9L/100KM. Are you sure? Most cases the meter fc showing lower than actual one (own calculation).

maintain your rpm below 2000. And always drive on left lane not to block others.

Ok. Just pour the ceratec directly into engine and mix Petronas engine oil?

The knocking sound, is it because the petronas engine oil no good for my car? I hate it. I am not sure if this happen before. Just get the dashboard rattling sound fix and while trying to check rattling sound, unexpectedly found this knocking engine noise when accelerate. very little noise. If turn on the radio will not hear the noise.

It happens after drove for 15 mins ... every time accelerate, it will have very slight knocking noise. Since it only heard when accelerate, i think it must come from somewhere part of engine.

I know you have try best to help me. Thank you very much!

I will drive for a while. That could be engine oil still fresh. If problem still persist, I will bring back to SC and ask him hear the noise.
