Luke721 Neutral Newbie May 3, 2003 Share May 3, 2003 Hi there! Generally, Korean makes consume more petrol than other makes, so your consumption of about 8 - 9 km/l is normal Why not join us at our weekly meetups at Bishan? I guarantee you'll find your answers there Also, is your ride a manual or auto? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Neutral Newbie May 3, 2003 Share May 3, 2003 Darrel.. Change the air-filter to KNN.. you have significant impact. Next will be spark plug.. Also, remove the cover of your engine.. it traps too much heat. I will PM you the contacts for KNN and spark plugs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlover76 Neutral Newbie May 4, 2003 Share May 4, 2003 For Spectra, you should be able to get 10-11km/l when the engine is run in, for me, I have changed to Denso iridium Spark Plug and KNN drop in filter, you might want to give it a try! If you need to get the Spectra drop in KNN filter, do let me know, I have lobang for that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakeater Neutral Newbie May 7, 2003 Share May 7, 2003 That's for manual right? Auto should be below 10, though sometimes I can get 10. I'm quite light-footed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlover76 Neutral Newbie May 7, 2003 Share May 7, 2003 Yes, my car is manual! Anyway, if you want your car to be better in fuel consumption then do you think your car engine will be as powerful or not? I don't think so! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
