The 2nd gen Fiat Punto uses a CVT gearbox. Something like what the Honda Jazz/City has. If you floor the gas pedal starting from rest, your RPM will stay constant at 5k all the time (or 4k if it's in Economy mode). CVT works wonders for keeping RPM ratios down smile.gif but actually the more modern automatic transmissions today are just as good, if not better. If I'm not mistaken, the current Accord's gearbox gets 2000 RPM at 100 km/h.

FC in city areas (Subang Jaya) is so-so only. Kelisa definitely better. But on highways I've gotten up to 15-16 km/L with the Punto.
