quite hard by simply looking at the pic alone.

 

there are cars that drop relatively slower/faster during the first quarter tank, partly due to the shape/ design of the tank.

true...its also quite subjective coz it seriously depends on how one drive his car...my previous opel astra G 1.6 Auto could actually cover bout 250km during the first quarter tank but at the end of the day, my best FC is 10.8km/l.....

my ride is only 80km on the first quarter tank, but can actually get ard 380km before the fuel light appears [laugh].

 

so very difficult to judge if a car is economical just looking at the quarter tank reading.

a more accurate way is to start from a full tank, drive until fuel low warning is on, then pump full tank again, check your receipt to find out how many litre consumed.

 

this is what i got for 57L

How much fuel can your tank hold? 55l?

Anyway, If u want to measure like this, can also.

Before everything, pump till you see petrol for first time, then stop.

Travel as per normal. Say you want to measure FC when fuel needle is 3 marks away from full.

Then pump again till you see petrol for first time. Take note of the litres pumped.

There you have it. [thumbsup]

uncle vit, is this a altis? for what i know, altis tank is 'V' shape, so for the 1st half tank, it should be able to cover a very good milage, but after that, it will drop sharply, but afterall, is a nice car with low FC.

Corolla tank is very difficult to fill until brim. It takes patience and time to really fill to "full". My experience with it was the indicator started to shift down slightly only after more than 200km.

it's how the tank/gauge is designed. i do 250km in the first 1/4, another 300-350 in the next 3/4. not an indicator of economy.

 

Your tank design is optimised to go pump at JBee [thumbsup][thumbsup]
