guys just wondering which car will have better petrol saving, between 1.6L and 2.0L.
Now to my understanding, 1.6L should be more petrol saving if 1) More to city drive (70%) 2) Less to highway drive (30%) 2.0L should be more petrol saving if 1) Less to city drive (30%) 2) More to highway drive (70%) Now, of course other consideration are such as how you press the pedal, how often you break, your driving style, etc. So let say for general knowledge, is my understanding correct? A friend told me that 2.0L is more petrol saving irregardless if you have more city or highway drive. his explanation was Forte is a heavy car and if you have more than 3 ppl sit inside your car, then 1.6L is underpower. Whereby 2.0L is powerful enough irregardless of the no of ppl sit inside. I tried to reason saying that the petrol needed by 1.6L is lower, even though there are 3 ppl sitting inside the car. so now, which is which? |

Is it recomend to pump in GAS or normal air like we can pump our tyre in petrol station. Can we pump in our tyre mixed with GAS & the normal air ? If not in case of emergency , how ? Please remember we have to pay to tyre shop if we need to fill up GAS into our tyres. Please advise. TQ |

Now to my understanding, 1.6L should be more petrol saving if 1) More to city drive (70%) 2) Less to highway drive (30%) 2.0L should be more petrol saving if 1) Less to city drive (30%) 2) More to highway drive (70%) Now, of course other consideration are such as how you press the pedal, how often you break, your driving style, etc. So let say for general knowledge, is my understanding correct?
