k&n still dun hav filter for iafm model yet i think...

err..nowadays we tend to put
eg:
journey>>Penang to KL
distance>> 300km
fc>> 12l/100km

i would like to suggest we add
time taken >> x hour xx minute

the logic is, for the same distance, faster time to arrive
means more petrol is consumed.

that's why there is time counter on the dashboard..
gen2 yes..persona also got right?

yeah...time to arrive can help us find the average speed travelled...but actually its not that helpful also cuz average speed does not tell us about the acceleration characteristics of the vehicle...for e.g. if the driver alternates between 50 and 100 km/h every 10 mins...even though his average speed is 75 km/h but he had to accelerate many times throughout the entire journey compared to a driver who constantly travels at 75 km/h...the FC will be very different although the time taken might be almost the same depending on how hard driver A accelerates the vehicle.

for persona, driving around town really takes its toll on the FC as compared to travelling at a constant speed on the highway because in town, the car usually undergoes a lot of acceleration and deceleration...its very hard to accelerate the persona's heavy chassis haha..1200++ kgs man..

that's very high! my dad's 11 year old Wira also around there and i thought the FC is very high...
like that better not change persona... i'll save more to buy i-DSI...

Dont agree...not significant.

Only if every driver actually use the correct method to evaluate their car's FC. Pump full then runs till "presumely" empty tank coz its indicator is completely inaccurate method. Why..the float read is inaacurate.

Should use the logically , much accuarte method..pump till click of nozzle then run , after which pump till nozzle click. No need to run till complately empty tank. The 2nd pump is X L fuel which is the X fuel fill up over the empty gap, empty gap is fuel lost over Z KM. So take X Liter/ Z KM.

BTW..Kenji, no more IDSI in production. IT complete stop in Oct 08. They will be launching i-VTEC. You can always buy the formerly owned carl.

haha that's for recently only...before this it was a steady 11 to 12 litres/ 100km....i called the SC up just now to complain....the fella said maybe its my driving style...he invited me to go to the SC and he will teach me a driving method....what bullshit...since i got the car in april my FC was consistent......and now since the 2nd service my FC has suffered badly....my driving style is the same....this SC people...they think their customers are stupid...14 litres/100km i can vomit blood garh!

hulkboy, no offense about the method of calculating fc.
i agree with onlyforthecars.
my point was to mention the travelling time

say,
distance from KL to Penang 100km.

if,
i reach Penang in 1 hour time.
so,
my speed 100km/h.

if,
i reach Penang in 1/2 hour time.
so,
my speed 200km/h.


logically, the sooner we reach destination, the faster we drive,
the faster we drive, the more FC we consume:)

hmm...is there any speed for campro so that the FC is at optimum?
some say constant 90km/h..but i'm not sure..
any idea, frens?

Errm.. I think.. I am a bit too late?

Hi drex, may i know if installing lightened crank pulley will void proton's warranty?Thanks

been off for awhile and everybody is talking bout FC?

wanna add in mine too.. recent FC of mine is constant at 8.6L/100km..

i pump bout rm90 (@rm2.15), travel bout 500km.. 50% highway, 50% town.. but my driving style is very one mild la.. no vigorous stepping on the accelerator.

no one ever reported to me that their warranty was voided because of using lightened crank pulley.

Count me in.
