I am driving a Proton Saga Aeroback-Manual aged about 3 .5 years.

My petrol consumption is approx RM75 for 380km to 400km only, about RM0.20 per km, is that normal?

I have checked my tire pressure which I pumped 220 for front wheels and 210 for back wheels and I seldom switch on my air condition unless weather reaches about 35 degress celcius hot. I have cleaned my air filter oso.

Hope you guys can point out what happen to my petrol consumption. Thanks

my city almost 3 years. roughly rm60 about 400km. city drive only. if long distance, should be more milleage. check your engine timing, driving skill etc.

turning off you aircon might not a good idea. when you open your window, your car will have more drag/resistance/heavier which will cost more petrol than turning on the aircon.

my 2cent opinion only.

your previous full tank and goes to how many km ?

Ok, eventhough i off my aircond, i will not open my window bcos i know tat once i open ur window the car will have more drag due to aerodynamic kind of thing. Correct me if i wrong.

Check your air filter, spark plug and when you do your last service? retune your AFR and try again.

20sen/km for a Saga Aeroback is not normal. My 11yr old 2.0 gives me better consumption.

apart from what the others recommend you to do, please also check if there is any leak in the exhaust system. A leak in the exhaust will make your car lost power, thus you tend to tekan more.

good luck.

depends on the speed. the car @ going at.

when u last time services? now wat km ? wat part u change for last service?

my family's 1996 Saga is doing around that mileage...and its re-he-he-ally problematic. Suppose your car got some big problem now.

maybe it's time for engine overhaul

if for my case, its normal...

Mine slightly better than you a little.

Simple conclusion


VERY EXPENSIVE LAAAAAAAAAAA

expensive buy this one loh...

ya some of the members already point out there... it wont be wise if u turn off the aircon and wind down the window as the air resistance ll affect ur car drag which eventually required more power to run where ur leg ll be heavier thus FC is high

my wira FC almost same with u ... full tank RM 75.. less than 400km...

seem nothing really increase ur FC too much ~ maybe you stop the car too much ~

dude.. ur car is auto??

that drag increase only applies above 60 or 70 kmh

idling in jams too much.. tune down ur no-aircon idle to 600-650rpm and dun use aircon

how can u compare honda city with saga?
EFi vs carburator?
CVT vs conventional 5 speed manual gear?
newer vs older? (in term of technology and age)

that because u use weber monster

he stated there, manual..
