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

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 icon_rolleyes.gif

i do believe that city driving and also heavy right foot could coz high FC for saga....
if i drive like rev gila one damn sakit oo...
tried b4 but as for now rev up to 4k max is enough...
is emergency or in a rush only rev up to 6k thumbup.gif
nvr tried up to 7k b4
but seen in the youtube all those guys doing it ...
Is it safe for 4G13 to rev up to 7k ? (stock car that is)

Dun u think it's a bit unreasonable? 1.3 liter engine + manual compare to other Toyota cars like Vios 1.5 liter + auto and Vios got better FC?

Malaysian car is a malaysian car... haih.. me a bit regretted to have purchased this car. Should have buy a Myvi.

My car also same .. LMST before my first tank only give me around 350km for RM80+ imagine that??? then now my car RM70 can go for 400km-430km if u go highway i can reach 480-500km on RM70+. So kinda reasonable my highway FC is compitable with my aunt Vios. Her Vios RM0.1400 sth.. my is like RM0.143 sth.

MyVI FC also not as good as u think car underpower becos of the MyVI body. THen more fuel to be burn. I would suggest u go for City IDSI if u got budget sell ur car and buy a City IDSI got power (compare to LMST) + low FC.

Some members is rite how would u compare carbie to EFI? Do u know wat is VVTI? VVTI use ECU to control the fuel injection. Where carbie use ur leg to control the fuel flow. if u wan ur FC better than Vios or City u must think better than ECU. thumbup.gif

IM USING 4G13 i guess i did that before, no worry u have rpm cut. when u reach to red line it wont let u go anymore futher and it wont hurt ur car badly but a bit of coz if u do it all da time.

my max while i drive fast 6k++ rpm

and yea my car used to drive 60RM 350 to 380km proton satria here. always 3k rpm to 5km rpm. [i cant drive slow]

city drive of coz.

and now dunno is my throllete body problem or else 60Rm 300km to 320km

but proton car around 300 to 350km is consider normal. cuz ton of people drivin gasoline mileage around there.

can over 340 that is happy news.

me also find my car trouble why suddenly gone 50km >.<

only thing to find out is change pipe and thollete body {SINCE KINDA SPOIL}
[cuz my car idle 700 to 1400rpm on aircorn, if off 700 to 1000Rpm too]

==========
xfx and ur question, 1st thing 1st. u compare both cars price [different right?] smile.gif . and 2nd vios is below 1000kg, 3rd vvti more newer tech den our proton, 4th u are using siemen ECU [not mitsubishi] , all the technology is different. sure u can eat more den vios la. like last time i used to drive a4 audi 2.0T [2006] 130Rm can run 700km,

and myvi manual can run 60 to 70rm i forget can run below 500km i guess.. around 400 to 480km?

and myvi auto can run 320 to 360km.

not crab is carburetor
afr is air fuel ratio..
it can be adjust from the carburetor itself not its not recommend for u to adjust urself as u may mess up with the timing. its recommended for u to send back to proton Service centre or sent to a reputable and trusted mech to adjust back ur AFR.
U may need to check ur air filter, spark plug, and ur engine oil. see ur engine oil is at constant marking or drop from time to time.. if ur engine start to burn ur engine oil ur FC confirm bad already.. cry.gif
