depending how u step on the accelerator in the 1st place... did u step on it & increase ur foot pressure gradually, or u immediately step half on the accelerator, i think the later will cause the sudden rev...

hmmm i thought if you step harder it'll cause the oil pressure to increase hence dropping gear and giving you a nice pick up =)

yea it depends on how much you step and it will drop gear to give you the adrenaline

and that'll lead to higher fuel consumption...

My latest FC test, just to gauge 95% highway driving:

LPT highway, 120-140km/h, distance about 350km, after refuel - 15.8 km per litre

Not bad..

I imagine if drive 110km/h constant, no air con, maybe can get 17 km per litre, hehe!

Same here, highway KL to PG, just reach half-tank on 370km with 120~140km/h. Continue driving here & there in PG island, and a refill, calc FC ~15.8km/L.

vios is good for long distance highway driving ...

else it will be 13km/l ++ ...

Yeah, in my calculation also, it wasn't 100% highway driving coz I drove inside KL, then to Damansara, then traffic jam in Bangsar, then I refill. That's why the number was 95% highway lah.

May I know how much roughly per service at SC? I just got my vios and I worry that the service will be enough to kill me

yeah..i also would like to know.. hope any members have the vios share service experiences to us. i will get my vios on the next month. like jason..i worry about 1st service.

I own the old vios 2006 ...

but service cost should be almost same as new vios ...

belows are my own service record in UMW toyota

1st 1k - RM90++
2nd 5k - RM50 ++
3rd 10k - RM270++ (fully syntentic, gasket, oil filter)
4th 20k - RM330++ (fully syntentic, gasket, oil filter, brake fluid)
5th 30k - RM550++ (fully syntentic, gasket, oil filter)(include air cond service)
6th 40k - RM800++ (major service)

my first service coming soon
still left about 200-400 km left
havent check the actual mileage

ken, y keep changing gasket?
engine gasket?

Ok....thanks. On average how long before we take our car to the next service? We can just follow the mileage or we need to service every 3 months? Coz 5k quite hard to achieve within 3 months also. Not to mention 10k

all service in umw is done following the service booklet ...

is good to service by month interval

but, what for waste money ... of course umw want people to service by month so can earn more money ...

just service every 5k or 10k, depend what lubricant u use ...

Thanks mr.ken. not bad the service prices.

Is it really 5K service since the sticker they put on my car: "Your next service is 6,000km" after my 1K service. Does that mean "1K + 5K"?

When you go to toyota you can ask for normal (not semi sin) oil. It will cost around 70. Then you can also asnwer the questionaire and get 20 free discount off too.

No the service come in 1k then 5k, no matter what is 5k the second
