I consider myself a good driver, i.e. no necessary acceleration or deceleration, and not to step on the gas pedal unnecessarily. Still, the best I could achieve for a full tank of RM53 was 350km (pre-hike). And that was 90% highway driving at 90-110km/h average.
I thought my BLM auto was one of a kind.. the bad apple. Complaints to the mechanics during scheduled service intervals were fruitless.. All I could hear was that the model was new and nothing much they could do unless they received/heard something from their head office.
Don't get me wrong here, I wish the FC is within 10% of the quoted figure in the advertisement but right until today I could not achieve the FC claimed by Proton. The sad thing is, my Honda EK 2door auto (before I converted to B16A) gave me better fuel consumption. (13.5km/Liter combined driving).
I wish proton could come up with something to remedy this because other than FC I have got almost nothing to complaint against my SAGA BLM.
Before petrol hike, I manage to get around RM50 - 340-360km, more or less the same. That time RM50 can get me full tank, right now I'm no longer doing that because full tank makes the car heavier and less mileage, maybe you can give it a try.
Those figure that claimed by manufacture, you cannot fully trust on it, they doing testing on constant speed like 80 or 90kmph all the way.

Yup my auto also manage to hit rm20-100km if i drive like a oldman, if heavy footed then rm20-80km. once i manage to hit rm20 - 120km, that was 100% highway with ridiculous speeds 40-60kmph only...
If 100% highway, I manage to get RM20 for 110km which is driving 90-100kmph all the way. Sometimes drive faster consume less petrol than drive slow.
