umm... how come you all use RM1 = xx km? Because this figure is not accurate if you're pumping say... Petronas and Shell. Not only that, it's will give you an artificially poor FC figure because when oil price go up, you'd think your car has poorer FC when actually it could very well be the same.

It's better to use the km/liter method right?

It still gives an artificially increased fuel consumption, and if today you pump Shell, tomorrow you pump Caltex, it would show different consumption, and you can't really tell if Shell really gives you more bang for your buck or not. Plus you need to remember what was the last purchase price of your fuel and what brand. Way more complicated. Maybe you guys have better memory so easier for you to remember. Forgetful people like me normally pump full tank reset trip meter, and the next time I pump full tank, I see how many liters I pump, and how many km i travelled. It's much easier to divide 400km/40 liters than 400km/RM78. And it's a little more accurate.

This should be repeated at every page of every fuel consumption thread

I get 9km/11.5km per liter city/highway on my 1992 Mazda 626 (now sold)
I get 7.5km/9km per liter city/highway on my 2004 Cefiro 2L.
