Haha,yeah in fact my NHC oso giving me only about 10-11 consistently now.

Sometimes I think when Honda say they got good fuel efficiency,I think they are comparing it within the Honda range only.

Actually, the weight of the car plays an important part. Having more gears also equally important. In my case, 6-speed AMT. On highway, I'm mostly on 6th gear unless overtaking at 4th (the system allow dropping of 2 gears via paddle shift). Same goes for the Accord. In town, it is mostly on 4th. On highways, it will switch to 5th and remain there until u decide the accelerate. Try driving in manual mode only (for cars with AMT, DSG, CVT or A/T with paddle shift) and don't let the computer decide. Guarantee will improve FC by at least 20%.

Try to get rid of all the rubbish/junk inside.

Honda City is kinda underpowered because it is slightly heavier than Jazz. When engine is underpowered, people tend to step on the accelerator more and this results in higher FC.

Even my old Gen2 is also the same. Since engine only has power after 3500 RPM, I tend to change gear to 2 and later 3 before keeping it in D. FC is terrible.

For 2.0L cars, the engine has enough torque and if the car is not too heavy, u don't need to step on the accelerator more. My mom's 2009 Accord 2.0 archive 800km @ RM 120. The car is very rev-happy and acceleration is very smooth. Most of the time, I kept the throttle at 40% (measured with Auterra DashDynoSPD).

I bought it brand new at RM 84,198 back in 2008. Now used ones going for RM 55k to 60k depending on year and condition. Many in great condition because mostly used as 2nd or 3rd car.

Don't worry about parts as it is shared with Mitsubishi and Proton.

1. Oil filter is from a Gen2 1.6
2. Oil sump nut is from a Wira 1.6
3. Front and rear brake pads from a Waja 1.6
4. Air filter is from a 2004 Mitsubishi Colt or K&N at RM 400
5. Absorbers also from a 2004 Mitsubishi Colt or u can opt for Titan (locally produced performance coil overs around RM 3k per set, original Sachs is around RM 4k).
6. Clutch and pressure plate available in Jln Ipoh / Jln Segambut for a mere RM 1k (OEM) to 2k (original). If purchased from Mercedes, it will be RM 3k.
7. Windscreen and other glass available in Tmn Megah, approx RM 2k for front and RM 1k for rear. Side glass windows around RM 500 each.
8. Disc rotors available from Tyre Zone in Tmn Megah.

Difficult parts are plastic body panels which will need to order from Singapore or Germany however if minor, any mudguard fella can fix it.

Guys I need help here already lol.

*Btw, I never modded any part of my engine yet. Only diy'ed two petrol filter instead running on one. Doing regular maintenance every 4,000km.

Don't waste money on full synth on old engine unless you rebuild it from scratch. My guess the engine has worn out after many years of service. Opt for a engine overhaul or replacement.

That would convert to 13.8 KM/L @ 7.2L/100KM? For real? This is displayed on your display panel? Can i know what is a voltage stabilizer and would it void your warranty?
