its a manual

cos.. tats the gb ratio lo? 4.4 fd.

b series; u gotta really rev it up to get power

i read that 4 most cars, the golden economy speed is bout 90kmh.. i guess its true, coz ive been testing wit couple of cars lately, n been gettin significantly better FC.. the thing is, 90kmh is damn slow on highways

No choice to counter fuel hike...If I'm not hurry a constant 90km/hr will be great to me. Probably will try this during my nxt outsation trip + using RON92 sumore!! - Targeting 20km/Ltr on civic 1.8

hey, 20km/l civic 1.8 is too much lah wei.............so greedy lah u.
for me 15km/l is good enuf.

If I can get 13-15km/L for my 1.6 Wira also I happy adi

Yea its manual and its honda. If I travel 90km/h its 3k rpm, haha...still not economical. So 70-80km/h is the sweet spot.

That's why Im alway at the 3rd lane.

Anyone test Perodua Kembara 1.3 (A) non-DVVT before?
I tested and it's 4000rpm...
I'm quite unsatisfied with that figure since it's a 4-speed Auto, not 3-speed Auto.

Ya. I can't believe myself & keep on challenging those getting 18-19.8 km/ltr on Civic FD1.8....well let me test first on long distance driving..so far no since the fuel hike my personal best on Civic FD1.8 is 14.5km/ltr (580km on 40ltr of fuel) but that was on avg 130km/hr! & not 90kn/hr

this big cc car can get better fc due to low rpm, then wats the point getting low cc car?

ehh.. well..

NOT everyone can afford a HIGH CC car u know?

plus road tax is quite a killer once its 2.0 n above.

hi

i would like to know what's the rpm reading for swift sport @ 110km/h ?

thx

it's not that high CC car will have low RPM reading at high speed, it's more depends on the gearbox, for example, wira with 3 gear AT have a 4k RPM at 110km/h while a 4 speed vios only have 2.5k at 110km/h, the more gear the gearbox have the low the rpm reading at high speed, i cant even imagine the RPM reading of 7 speed golf GTI...

i think is at the range of 2.5k

my goodness.. i get that kinda rpm reading in my 3 speed auto yr90 saga..

I have a year 94 3 speed auto iswara too....
Almost the same.. even the Iswara 110km/h 3900rpm can reach already...
The 4 speed auto Kembara need 4000rpm?
And confirmed O/D gear is working.
I try off the O/D that time........Gosh!!!Almost 5500rpm....

Because the Kembara's gearbox spoilt around May and just change to a recond gearbox cost RM3500++, so will it be the problem of the gearbox?
Or it's normal for non-DVVT Kembara?
Any Kembara user pls confirm here...

Last week i drive from Alor Star to Butterworth using this Kembara, distance should be about 100km+, and i drive constant at speed of 115km/h (4100rpm) almost 1/3 of the fuel is burnt....

Just drive smoothly and naturally.
Sometimes I think my FC too high and drove like auntie but get worse result. Other time just drive fast fast fast and get good numbers.

I think the major impact is big difference in acceleration and decelaration. Fast acceleration and then follow by deceleration means waste fuel. If you think about it, if you drive at 80KMH flat, you use less fuel but ur distance doesnt change. So you drove longer which then means more fuel as well. Its almost impossible to derive a formula to actually calculate these precisely.

i doubt that the swift sport's rpm reading at 110km/h is 2.5k.. should be higher as reported in some forums, but they did not state exactly the number.. that's why i would like to know

VIOS also can get somewhere around 2.6k, i think swift will do the same.

hi sjz....im driving one too, and i can confirm that ur reading is true . I got the similar reading as u while driving 110km/h
This car has been well known for its fuel guzzling behaviour.....

mine toyota wish 1.8 110@km/h = 2900 RPM

whoa... higher than hyudai accent?

maybe i changed my rim to 17" cause it...
