Hie Sifu, need some help a bit...

I just bought my new Vios 3rd gen.

took it right before CNY.
Pumped full tank.
But only able to drive until 370km. then the fuel light blinking already.
As that time i drove for another 10km to pump petrol, i pumped RM70.xx for 380km drive...
which is about Rm0.18
I do city drive... very little jam.... always try to stay under eco light... whenever slope down, i always push to neutral gear...

but why is my fuel consumption so huge??? i always heard people said toyota save fuel... no? it seems a lot new vios owner experience the same? full tank only can drive for around 350km...

and also i feel that the engine like less power de? like averagely it need 2rpm to go next gear most of the time... even for 1st gear go to 2nd gear, sometimes it need close to 2.5rpm only switch to 2nd gear. isit common?

No feed back at all? no one use new car?

I just finish my 2nd time full tank...
this time never use neutral gear trick thingy, just drive normally...

RM69.85 for 341.6km

which is around RM0.2044xxx per km.... 20sen+ per km...

which is close to what i used with my 20 years old toyota corolla SEG that i just sold out for this...

what's the point for me to sold off old car and buy a new car that give me similar fuel consumption while i still need to pay for the loan???

Thanks for the reply bro.

Actually i saw several complains in toyota facebook fanpage too. but i dont see much inside lowyat. so im really wondering, am i the unlucky minority?
My daily traffic is probably around 5-10% jam only... i don work far from home, 15min drive can reach... while weekend i always go out at 2-3pm which is traffic smooth moving period.


btw bro...
when you drive your car, how do you feel with the engine?
my personal experience is that, it is not so strong enough.
averagely it need 2rpm to go next gear most of the time... even for 1st gear go to 2nd gear, sometimes it need close to 2.5rpm only switch to 2nd gear. and that is normal driving... (eco light on)
in the situation that u just came out from your taman and u need to shift your car from 1 lane to another. the lane you need to enter has carss that moving. u need to slip in quickly due to the traffic. in that situation, i can hear the vroom sound seems draggy, and it reached 3rpm just for the gear 1 to enter gear2 in that situation... which i felt so hurt for the fuel and engine... (eco light off) and even with that, i don feel the car accelerate fast enough at all also...
isit common?

btw... what is the apps name you using here? can intro me?


I did some research and some said it will slowly become better as what u said too....
but somehow i still feel quite worry and emo when thinking of it. it made me felt i did the wrong choice to sell my SEG for this.
