I saw quite a lot of New vios on the road... can any of u guy give any detail of how much ur full tank and can run how many KM??
how many litre is for the vios full tank huh???
40 litre??
yesterday i pump full tank.. when i still got on bar of it left... and i pump 36.10 litre... and cost RM69.31..
i saw in this forum.. ppl claim tat they can run full tank up to 520 km??
is tat really possible??
with full tank i can only go up to rougly 450 km... is it cos of my driving skill?? or cos of i live in kl??
it seem like rougly every 50km i drive the bar metre will drop one one bar.. no matter how constantly i drive.. it seem like how i lap the accelerate it still the same..
my fren told me at.. his sis.. drive and keep accelerate.. and also can run up to 500++ km.. and she also live in kl.. but she is using the previos model... and i say maybe cos new vios got more weight.. so the fuel consumption will be higher? but ppl claim tat will save more fuel right??
and btw .. vios car rim is 15" .. in theoretical... rim with 14" will more save fuel.. cos it is more lighter right?? then vios car tyre is 65mm in height or watever.. i dont know is the length or wat.. but i guess is the height of the tyre throughout its circumference.. the tyre specialist claim tat if it is 55 mm or watever.. will be all right already..
and will save fuel.. and he give me one catalogue.. abt one kind of tyre which can save fuel up to 4.7%... got such thing? is it true? that really can save fuel like tat?
and futhermore, i feel like want to change rim.. some ppl ask me dont change.. use the original first.. but those rim really make me want to change.. they eat my rims only.. for rm400 and tat rim cost abt 980 ( before the price is rm1500, they will special offer so is rm980).. so i need to pay rm580 for it. I dont really know abt car.. so i wish u guy can give me some comment on it.. and beside that.. they said tat the rim i bought from them.. no matter which one. sure gonna be lighter compare to my original rim.. will tat save a lot??
Ha... it is sound like you buy car without knowing your car spec...or buy from your parent and give it to you only.
3rd generation Vios Fuel tank is 42Liter but compare with 1st and 2nd generation vios fuel tank are 45Liter.
That why old vios can reach 530km easily.
If you pump 36.10km, mean that 42-36.10km=5.9liter.
that say, 450km : 36.10 liter; ~ 12.46km : 1 liter or 0.154sen/km
mean that, you still left 5.9liter : 73.51km. So, your car still can travel 73.51km distance. But your car will break down after 73.51km. No petrol
It is not a good pratice...reason bcoz you need to find a petrol station or somehow traffice jam.
anyhow your fc is quite high...is it heavy traffice everyday?
Fuel consumption few thing need to consider....
1. your driving style, it is depend how you increase your accelerate. everytime you press hard(start and stop), the fuel consumption will more higher.
2. yes, more heavy of your car, fuel consumption will more higher. remove all rubbish.
3. aircond....
4. Rim 14" fuel consumption will more save than Rim 15" because 14" tyres Tough the grond surface is less than 15". speed of your car for 14" tyre is more higher than 15". but 15" tyre will give more steady than 14"
5. Traffice jam
6.....you can refer our previos post regarding FUEL CONSUMPTION post....
regarding rim....will depend on your rim quality...some rim will easy break when your car is enter to HOLE (u know-lah our M'sia road)....
all the RIM are mark up very high price. you won't see any cheap price...bcoz when you see the cheap price, you will wonder their RIM quality...
that why the price is higher.... that is business-mah!!!
ha...just PO only...correct me if I'm wrong....
