I totally agree with P2 knowing shit... All they really know is that there has been similar case here and there then they call themselves experienced...

I'd rather "engineers" who actually know how the car perform in terms of technical knowledge rather than servicing many cars and "oh the car usually like that one, so now u need to change oil (so I can potong u)"
sigh~

Probably u can check with them first b4 brining ur car to them... Otherwise probably send to dealer SC better off since many ppl here said so...

That's probably the only way we can go about it... It's your car, with YOUR money... Juz say NO rclxms.gif

hi guys... so far my best fc is about 375km/RM50/26.04l... nvr improve since i got dis figure about 5 months ago coz very heavy legged lately... my average consumption nowadays only like 350km/RM50/26.04l... feel like my fc not improving anymore... until now nvr try fulltank b4... btw, mine is auto...

btw any1 ever try dat after de light blinking how much more can it go?? i was in de middle of kesas highway back 2 klang wif de light blinking dat day... went about 30+km den i felt like de tank going 2 dryout... scare de shit out of me coz i was stuck in a traffic and i turn-off de engine (dunno y i did that although noe it's no advisable)... after dat kenot start, i thought gone d sure stuck but on 2nd attempt it started, lol... thank god den i drive slowly 2 de nearest station about 3-5km away 2 findout de station is packed and de queue i was queueing de pump spoil... damn unlucky... fortunately, i still managed 2 change 2 another lane but dat time feel like engine still got power... dat was an experience, lol... however, i'm not sure if de petrol reli drying out d or i'm being nervous ler... any1 experience b4?? pls share urs as well...

Did u note how much u pumped into ur VIVI at that time??

Coz I notice that if your average about 50-60km per bar then ur last bar will stand the same until it really dries... I tried once to go an extra 50km once started flashing but then when pump fuel, still got about 5litres of fuel biggrin.gif

ie, when I pump it's about RM66 which is 34.38 litres and vivi has 40 Litre tanks...

Good luck to u to milk the last drop of fuel fr fuel tank tongue.gif

i pumped RM50 everytime so i din notice how much left in de tank... 4 me, every bar is about 45km so dat time i travelled bout 30-40+ km d so i tink it's almost empty d ler summore i was travelling at arund 90-100kmh during de last bar... reli scary experience, can feel de engine like not so powerful d (even at idling speed) den de engine like vibrate a lil more compare 2 usual...
*
For me if constant 90-100 then very save fuel... but if slow down n accelerate alot then yeh, gotta b really worried tongue.gif
That's y juz go according to your own average... My average lately come down to 50km per bar edi...
Juz make sure u see how much petrol u pump full tank... Easier to gauge that way...Normally, I'd say when I pump when 2 bars left... I'll pump around RM50 ± RM2 This also depends on your normal average LOL! whistling.gif

Have fun finding ur own balance point rclxms.gif

i tink de radio is not de final product ler, it's juz a testing unit i guess... de final product shud be de built-in 1 like wat we have in our current model coz i dun c any reason y dey shud put in an aftermarket unit since it's a local car and dey dun save on tax or anything if dey fit an aftermarket hu which will give an eyesore 2 de interior look...

anyway, back 2 de topic, urs can get 50km/bar ar?? manual or auto?? 4 mine coz i travel everyday on jam-packed roads and on kesas usually i sped about 110kmh dat's y my fc so high... nvr been cruising smoothly 4 some time d coz rushing time always, average speed about 100kmh... i dun usually pump fulltank coz my dad usually give me RM100 a week 4 petrol so i'll juz divide in2 2 for convinience ler... however, i'll try 2 monitor my petrol during my sem break when i'm free ler, will try ur method and c  smile.gif
*
Ou... Jampacked then cannot comment on that ler coz it'll b a huge task since u're always in a hurry...

Yes, Mine is about 50KM per bar if not higher and I'm using Auto and most of the time cruising speed... If I town drive it the FC will be slightly worse... But nothing below 45km per bar... Everything below 2.5k rpm for good FC for me personally... Sometimes I go racer mode then the FC sure rolleyes.gif

Am pretty sure most ppl here around the same ballpark... Jam = bad FC, Long distance cruising= wonderful FC.
Snail drive = good FC, Racer mode = high FC. brows.gif

I shall juz wait and see the final product...
BTW guys, Tissue from Garage sale said there's new MyVI body kit and to fit it +RM1,500 top up from standard MyVI price... Not sure whether it's aftermarket bk or Perodua Ori BK...

Take it as one month waiting as that'll be the time that Perodua will take to process the requests from dealers to order cars...

From what I understand basically it's the same for all dealers or branches as it's Perodua themselves who allocate the cars to the dealers...

If u're lucky and they have ready stock then u'll get ur car immediately otherwise one month will do wink.gif

erm..ya green shell or petronas.. now normally green shell..
easier for me.. along my way back to home..  tongue.gif

i went for Orange BHP coz my tank run low..see petrol station pump..
far from my house that time...  sweat.gif
so i pump bhp on no choice tongue.gif
*
I change to BHP early this month and I find that the petrol started to perform better after a tank...
Means 1st tank BHP = FC not very pleasant
2nd Tank BHP = FC back to normal
3rd tank BHP = FC decent with plenty of pushing my ViVi RM60 = 450km so I think it's quite ok with 20% city 50% long distance(non-highway) 30% racer mode

I tend to go to the area quite frequently but not everyday... So basically I pump when I'm around the area rather than drive there purposely for petrol...
