bro
that works out to 14.21km/L
what setup are u using?
is everything stock or did u add in some mods?
i have the same car but the best i get is like 12.8km/L

can say my driving is very conservative
i have a vacuum gauge so can monitor how hard im pressing the accelerator n so on (i try not to go less than 5mmHg)
lastime managed to get 12+km/L from my 33year old renault 1.3 (and this is using a standard butterfly valve carb while the iswara uses a linear valve)
thats y i was quite peeved when my 'new' proton got about the same milage
as for driving conditions, the time i got 12.8 was when i was doing practically all highway
when got mix of town n highway i get like on the low 12s
my tuning n tappets are all tip top (i can vouch for it as i do it all myself)
thats y wondering what he did with his car

n how does fuel cost effect efficiency?....im really confused on that part

i think the mythbusters did a take on these magnet things
the result was 'no effect' and therefore 'busted' (imagine them throwing that rusty welded metal plate with the words 'busted' onto a dusty floor )

i suggest u do wut other ppl r suggesting
fill full tank....drive from seremban to melaka and back again...n if can once again
then fill full tank again n c how much petrol u used (i.e. how much u filled the second time around)
then divide the total km traveled by the amount u filled the second time
then u can get an accurate fc
and if you still get 22.53km/L, i'm sure every single person on this forum will want to come and c ur car and copy your engine's config (including me! )
coz that kinda milage cant even be achieved by the new 'green' cars
only the new diesel cars can hit that kinda milage

diff octane means diff combustion characteristics
u might get pinging or premature combustions which will damage your crankshaft bearings and piston rings and generally wear out/ damage/screw up your engine faster than its suppose to

Added on October 2, 2007, 1:04 amdepends on the engine design
more powerful engines can run at lower rpms n still be able to pull
but smaller engines generally have their max torque at a higher rpms
an extreme example are super bikes
iinm, their rpm can go up to 15k+rpm or more
their cc is small...so to get the required power output, they increase the rpm
its the same concept that is being used in f1
the federation limited their cc
so to get more power, they r pushing for higher rpms

[offtopic]
wish they would make groundforce, cvt n turbo legal once again
then we'd see some really phenomenal speeds
iinm, even until today no1 can beat the cornering speeds from the groundforce era

Added on October 2, 2007, 1:12 amerm...just curious...when u say engine output 90% efficiency, what exactly do you mean?
coz iinm, an IC engine is basically a heat engine...which is quite inefficient since most energy is lost through heat...then once we factor in the mechanical losses through the transmission, we are usually looking at about 20% overall efficiency or less
only full electric cars like the tesla can get 90+% efficiency as the electric motor is very efficient
but if we talk about well to wheel efficiency, its definitely not 90%...
and lets not even talk about an IC engine's well to wheel efficiency....its just so depressing

wah
14.6km/L!
all stock ke?
wats ur cruising speed and rpm?

oh yea
been waiting for that for quite some time
no persona owners here?

wow
thats good for town driving man
nev knew that car was so efficient!

OMG
thats like a hummer's milage

yeah
thats wat im talking about

Added on October 10, 2007, 4:58 pmi was comparing fc...as in km/L
not distance traveled
hmm...u said like that coz i used the word 'milage' izit?...
must be more specific nextime then...sori

p.s. the pic above is of the civilian model...for really bad fc...check out the ori military issue!...hahaha

wau
13.3km/L
very good
any tips?
hehe

wow!
wonder what the price tag is on one of those bad boys...not to mention the road tax hahaha
which company brings them in?
nev seen them on show
would love to check one out in real life

yea
totally agree wif u bro
not to mention international comparison becomes redundant when listing in money/distance
dont get y ppl keep using the rm/km...sighz

ofcourse it would reduce fc
the parasitic load of the ac compressor is a significant draw on the engine's power
so setting it to high would mean that its engaged very much less
less load, less fuel consumed = better fc
