now thats weird? always after 1k km service FC should be better. if still use same engine oil helix h7, to compare previous, u must certain that ur driving style must be same, your journey route must be same, ur petrol must be the same, traffic condition must be same, car passenger must be same, then u can compare. if the above yes...need to send the car to SC. coz some owner already change ECU... would we all need to change new ecu? if it says improvement...would that be unfair if certain people get the improved ECU?

Hyundai need to recall all elantra if they should...or need to clarify which car batch need to change ecu, not that we the customers need to experience all the hassle of bad FC. some people maybe dont notice it. some will take a while noticing it...

hyundai need to be professional in handling cases like this...

what do think guys bout change the ecu or resetting the ecu?

mmm...hard to say but 42l should get u 410++. short distance have tendencies to consume fuel. maybe u r really heavy footed and when comes to light footed, ur too light. as i said b4 u need to master how to shift early in auto?shift early in auto?not use manual coz manual hard to shift early coz manual meant for sport mode. ECU won't let u to shift early.so u need to master shift early in auto.do you know how?shift early will make ur FC better for short distance.

1. u need to watch the rpm meter for this skill
2. ur limit is 2000 rpm.
3. in 1st gear, try accelerate to 2000 rpm
4. by the time u nearly reach 2000 rpm, let ur foot off let go a bit.(don't let ur foot off the pedal it will make ur car not smooth).ECU will let u to 2nd gear.
5. do this until 6th gear. in 6th gear let ur foot as light as u can...

if you don't reach 6th gear u won't get better FC...6th gear meant for fuel saving...

if you want to accelerate more than 2000 rpm, yes u can but let ur car change gear also by letting off a bit the pedal.(u cannot be at low gear for too long as it will doom ur FC.

so main goal here is don't fooling too long at low gear....change gear as fast us u could. HE is not a sports car. its an everyday car commute from A to B. hyundai volestor turbo is a sports car. even some people review its not a true sports car, but hyundai make it as a sport car...u can drive fast with it.

HE won't go fast as u desire. if you ram it until red line, the power will be gone as u reach 5500 rpm - 6000 rpm.

i also wish HE can go fast but it wont. u can feel the car is in great stress if you ram at high revs....

but yeah, its ur car. its up to you. just wait for speedworks to come out turbo kit for HE. that will be so much fun...

my average FC after 3 fill ups is 420+++. will try other petrols just to find the best petrol for HE. currently testing caltex. drive is smooth but strange not much power.coz i need to press pedal more to get the car running. when using petron and bhp, the power is there.so caltex power is out for my car. will check how far it can go with rm70. for others some say caltext is good. yes. this is true as it depends what type of engine oil ur using. mine is petro canada. so it like petron & bhp so far...

when using petron power is noticeable as soon as you fill in...it easy to do test when ur first test use good petrol..

so next step? will try BHP again(coz i have faith in it) but at a different station. coz some station are cheaters...can't explain this coz i don't have hard evidence to proof it. but the car always feel good going that station and it always feel bad going to that station.

get what i mean?

rm70 420km+++ driving condition 60% hway 40%. i dont bluff u but u need to find the best petrol mate with ur engine oil. if it shell is giving the best mileage so its shell for u...

for me petro canada engine oil is good for petron, bhp and caltex.

I was so disappointed that i was tailgated by audi Q7 at hway...then i try to get away, i throttle more than half, to my shock the car doesn't move!!!!!!??????gear was down shifted but the car has no power to do anything..so i switch to potent booster from mode normal to mode HA7, then the car was alive....the car manage to get away from audi Q7. really in love with potent booster...

yes i know, but at least i could get away if i throttle more like my old car honda b18c vtec type r...i didnt aspect the car was that weak...

of course b4 1st service engine is like virgin...new..so need to make all parts move in right speed to ensure parts are loose.so during run in, please follow according to manual if want to retain the original power of engine. after 1st service then you check ur FC...from there if still consume more fuel then sent the car to SC and get a reset ECU like the others...

follow this link http://www.garyromehyundai.com/Hyundai_Elantra.cfm

it help me to decide...

mileage test result caltex ron95. mileage 428km for rm70. left 80kms of fuel. pick up worst...coz when driving alone can feel the car heavy. so for my car(petro canada) will use bhp or petron only. shell & petronas? forget it...feel not worth it.

i havent try it.coz i feel its not worth it..as previous 4 cars test with these fuels...go no where. but for petronas can achieve more mileage then shell. but petronas has the slowest pick up. but for turbo cars, petronas performs quit good. have tested with vw polo..some people with 308 turbo also choose petronas..

you have to try it urself because won't be the same result with me even we have the same car...its depends on what engine oil u got...mine is petro canada...

if elantra have turbo might be the best car ever...coz it has the looks as a sports car...speedworks in pj offered me rm8k turbo kit for elantra...have to turn down the offer coz don't want to void warantty..

yup for my case petron canada engine oil i highly recommended bhp and petron. it works best for performance and mileage...others please share your mileage and please also indicate engine oil brand. coz i found owners saying petronas and caltex best for their car...lets help each other recommend the right pump gas..with the right fuel it will make ur day happier...

wow...looks same as elantra...inside the technology is really top notch. but i bet if sell in malaysia will cost as much as camry...i've look in net and sime darby didn't say want to bring i40 sedan but instead maybe bring i40 wagon..

you see if hyundai bring in i40 wouldn't it be same like elantra?whats the point?and wagon...whos buying a wagon in malaysia?sime darby would get less sales for sure.

i30 is quit nice and can challenge kia rio. anyway i'm sure sime darby will think all this. strategic plan to sell...just my 2 cents.

what do you think guys..rm114k = elantra, rm148k = i40 sedan. i40 sedan have plenty of high quality goodies...sure pricey one...

yup it could replace sonata...up to sime darby...rm125k+++ is a good price....will make honda & toyota like main2 punye kereta...like i40 really serious shit car..people would think twice to buy japanese car now...

yup need to throttle hard 1 or 2 a month...let the carbon off the engine..but since the engine is new not so much carbon.so start doing it now so the engine always new..

but need to consider when to tekan. don't full throttle when outside temp is 40! thats crazy...don't stress ur engine..try to go all out during night time...

mr toh is waiting for HE car to BOT. i he offered me rm8000.

i agree on that thats why korean new cars takes time to enter malaysia, coz they will take time what to take out...

i did ask bout will void warranty but he mention the turbo kit can taken out i dont know bout that but i'm out of budget...

mmmmm...before we declare there is a faulty sensor or something try to fill in night time. see any difference...
