Wira 1.5 GLi (Auto)? Best option is to change to a manual 5 speed transmission. The current 3 speed auto will make your engine drain petrol as if you just finished playing sports.

Nowadays most proton cars full tank can get only about 350km - 400km max. If a person gets more about 450km, maybe he pumped max inside the tank.

I don't and get about 350km - 380km. Oh yea, 120km/h - 140km/h most of the time on highway.

Not only I'm facing the same problem. My friend's proton also facing the same problem. Drive slow (80km/h) or fast (140km/h), fuel consumption is still the same. Also get around 350km+.

Might as well just drive fast everyday and feel the ummphhh and save time.

1300cc and 1500cc.

me last time 1.5 auto converted to 1.8 manual. FC with extra light right foot can reach 500km/tank

fc its bad... convert to manual and u'll save fuel trumendously....

1.5A was well known for de high FC.. it was de gearbox tat was givin de problem.. so, it could b either u change de car, change de transmission o change de engine..

not at all...last fuel prc rm1.92...fillup about rm30... can run almost 270km...

FC For Wira 1.5(M) is about 11.8km/l as published by Aussie Govt (road transport) and about 11km/l liter as published by a local car forum.

My FC for my Wira 1.5(M) is about 12.7km/l...

check with fstrader, he knows how to improve your FC

put me on table meh??

I know what you want to intro already...wahahahaha
My wira auto 1.92 that time 0.25cent/km...Now change car already...kakakkakaka

I'm not agree !!!

i'm driving 7yrs old 1.5 (auto) wira & full tank manage to go for 470km (max km i dare to try).
Every mth fr. KL to south (440km) with Ave. speed 110-120kmh ........., 80% h/way + 20% normal road. Normally, it takes almost 37L petrol.

my wira is standard from day 1.

1. Your personal comment (your thought or anything related):
my gf use wira 1.5GL(A)..yeap evrytime we go out for dating..i'll try to avoid using tht car..if can i'll use my mom's myvi. GL version is carb one..plus with 3speed auto..the fc kinda bad. for speed around 90-100km/h..the rpm is kinda high.


2. Your tips on how to get the most from Proton Wira 1.5 GL (A) (if the owners considering to continue to use it in the future):
by driving tht car..i learn how to drive maximum 70km/h..hahaha...i think 1.5gLi should be better..a bit..(injection engine).


p.s - get the manual version ok.

p.s.s - Thank you for your effort to fill this time-consuming survey:)

Added on July 5, 2008, 10:43 pmnway..the car is quite old..and the gearbox is not really tiptop..so i guess it contribute more on high fc...so, my opinion is only based on tht particular wira 1.5(a)..huhuhu~

if u guys travel frequently on highways, i'd recommend keeping limit at 110km/h, fuel consumption quite ok..

base on my xp, RM100 can bring me somewhere around 520km with my WIRA 1.5(m), normal consumption during normal usage (not highway) would be 470km for RM100.. plus minus of course..

mine also wira 1.5(m) , but mine only bring me 320km for rm70++ fuel. normal road.

Mine also wira 1.5 already duwan kira consumption just drive and no petrol then pump. Save the heartache!
No money change car, kira and kira also no use...

woww ... this kind an old topic ...

but i'm still driving the same P/Wira ....
recent FC still almost 12km/L .... normal traffic + jam everyday at federal h/way from subang jaya to PJ.

minor changes ..... exhaust change to 4-2-1 & using slightly bigger spark plug cable. Feel more responsive.

Wow old thread!! However i got the same fuel drinker Wira 1.5 A at home. Accelerate slowly and dont go beyond 80km/h will reasonable FC. Press the trottle just a bit more only like when overtaking or drive out from roundabout already drop a lot.

My Wira 1.5 manual 2004 model. Current FC about 10 l/100 km @ 10.42 km/l. Fuel tank rm 70+++ My FC quite high is it? :/

ur FC is higher for 1.5 manual ...
maybe need to do tuning, check the plug cable & exhaust .... if got leaking, then will eat more fuel la

You guys are all lucky! My '97 1.5GL A only gives an average of 7km/l. RM50 for only 190km!! Avg speed 90km/h.
Old car, but the acceleration is still surprisingly good.

mine is Wira GLi, 3 speed auto transmission. 2007 version. The fuel always drop dead gorgeous. and thing is, at 100km/h already like 4000rpm. it is normal?

not really normal, my wira 1.5A can reach 120km/h when 4000 rpm... did not modify anything on engine, only using enkei rims

Thanks for sharing. Mine also full tank 300km only

You guy's cars seriously have bad fuel consumption. Is the car serviced regularly? Engine oil, oil filter, spark plugs, atf?

I'm also facing a similar problem. My fuel consumption has gone up for my Wira 1.5A. Used to average about 350km per full tank 5 years ago. Now, its about 260km per tank, since the last 2 years.
I just changed my auto transmission last mid year but no change in the fuel consumption.
Read somewhere a leaking exhaust system would reduce compression & make the engine makan minyak.
Any advice on who has this kind of experience in Penang?

My wira fc is 14km/l 80%highway. But can only get if use gas. If petrol, maybe the best around 12km/l.

penang is getting more traffic jam compare to 5 years ago..that is the answer...btw my 1.5A only manage to drive below 200km per tank in university..bumps everwhere zz

PS: last time I have the problem of exhaust leakage problem but after changing the bullet cost me rm200 and the FC still the same

this is my wira 1996 manual fc (only highway)
for reference
normally driving at 140-150km/h

The car is nice to drive but due to the high fuel consumption, I'll have to sell if off. geram.
Nowadays cannot get good part anymore either. Used to be able to get recon mitsubishi parts which can really last but now only recon proton parts which aren't very durable.

Nice fc you have compared to my 1.5A , even when I try to reduce 'tekaning' ..........

better avoid at all cost man, lol
