Driving slow does not always = good FC. Even though you're using less fuel, you're covering even less distance.

this.

i get the best FC during my road trips (eg: ipoh/singapore) and i tend to go way over 140-160km/h, and that's way beyond my iswara cruising speed going around 5-6k rpm biggrin.gif

yup the best way is use the instant fc indicatior.
u will found out u drive too slow your fc is too high, u drive to fast ur fc high too..
the best way is by checking the instant fc indicator and try to drive the best driving style fit to current traffic or road.

no.

Fuelly is for tracking FC per tank or long term FC.

Instant FC readings tells you in real time if your driving is fuel efficient simply by showing you instantly increasing or decreasing FC figures.

not accurate at all since too many variables that can manipulate it.

however i guess if you really have nothing to gauge with and are that concern about FC while having a really heavy right foot, by all means i guess laugh.gif

Depends on car models, some are quite accurate.

But anyway, like I said it serves as an indication of how fuel efficient is your driving, the exact figures don't matter, the only things that matter is whether the figure is increasing or decreasing while you drive.

probably easier if the system is just color, like honda's.
so no chance to b**** about accuracy.

My Saga LMST (year 2007) has been sucking up the fuel like a thirsty bear recently. The problem came after the engine started to 'buat hal'. After switch off, the engine would not stop immediately, instead shake for few more seconds only stop. From then on, fuel consumption became very high, from 14km/L to 8km/L. Switched from Shell to Caltex, and sent the car to workshop, service and tuning auto choke, everything back to normal with slightly high rpm, and fuel consumption for the recent tank is 11.4km/L.

I have few concerns:
1) Is 11.4km/L consider ok? 90% city drive. I don't want to sound silly to go back to the workshop, though if the high rpm persist I might need to send back.
2) The fuel capacity for LMST is 45 L right? There's one time I refuel, the fuel insert until 45.12L but the gun didn't stop or anything! I suspect it's the gun's problem. That tank only lasted me 430km (before repair)
*
1) manual or auto? engine capacity? (1.3 or 1.5) carburetor or fuel injection?
high rpm will definitely consume more fuel, if carb, you can consider tuning the idle yourself via guide from saga/iswara thread or google image.
auto idle is ~850-900 while manual is ~800-850

2) yes, that is correct. if you suspect is the gun issue, consider changing other stations. also the 45liters is only the tank, and the minor "overfill" could possibly be the tubes/passageway. btw, did it spill out from the fuel port?

for your references, this is my FC: http://www.fuelly.com/driver/quazacolt/saga
so in *my opinion* you actually have damn good FC smile.gif
