Dual VVTi Corolla Altis 1.8 FC?

[Quantum]

I'm working Middle East, and rent car is Corolla 1.8A, Dual VVTi, similar Singapore Altis 1.8, in Middle East road condition FC only 11+km/L, 80% express way and speed over 120km/h

though Dual VVTi should give better FC, because my civic 1.8M also can give me 12+km/L in Singapore condition

has dual vvti owner got same expreience

Dude petrol costs almost the same as a bottle of mineral water. Just enjoy driving the car.

Bro, you are going at a obscene speed, don't expect a 4 speeders to give you a good FC. They optimum speed is about 80 to 110km/h.

The petrol price there is like tap water. Why care about FC?

[Darthrevan]

you may have to factor in increased wind resistance which is affecting ur fuel consumption

Rented car might not be well maintenance also.

Do you do a lot of driving in the day, as the higher temp experienced will tend to result in a lower O2 density with higher temp and in turn poorer combustion. You will note that the car feels more powerful at night. Try using de-ionised water for coolant, but I doubt if that will help a lot (To reduce calcification of the radiator) as the temp difference is still lower than say temperate climate. Sand may have also clogged your filters just check.

 

Try Irdium/platinum spark plug (in 1 plug). Let us know interesting.

Heard fuel filter might affect the fuel consumption? So could be the fuel filter didnt change at all and thus affect the consumption?!

I oftern visit Dubai and rent a car. Mind you the petrol in Middle East is Ron 91.

So, cannot compare FC apple to apple.

Furthermore, 1 lit petrol is slightly above 50 cents, cannot complain already.

Optimium speed should be 80km/hr. Check your air filter due to nature of dusty & sandy air.

Im in Oman, the petrol Regular (Ron 95) only S$0.35/L, super (Ron 98) S$0.40/L

If you'ar driving under 100km/h, it's super road hogger

This sort of pricing was only available in SGP circa 1994. Any old timers can corroborate experience?
