8-9km/L.?Why so high.?Mine can get 12km/L.

Bro,i really hv no idea y my consumption is so high....😢. The rest of bro or sister here can i know ur average consumption?

 

I onli can guess the below reason causing high consumption:

 

1) 2 drivers for the same car

- as my car is driven by me n my wife, perhaps the ecu is not able to catch n learn our driving pattern. My previous ride oso like tat. While others is having 13-16 but mine was onli 9-11.

 

2) driving route

- as my wife is driving the car to work in the morning. She was travelling fr bt panjang to toh guan thru bt batok road. Along this bt batok road, normally the traffic is quite heavy wif many start n stop. However, when i drive to work thru kje, i can get around 10+. But this result is still bad 😫.

 

My previous ride i change my tyre fr 195/55/r15 to 205/55/r16. I complaint to the service ctr why my consumption was so bad. They reset the ecu many time but stil cant resolve. Then they say mayb is my tire is wider n bigger.... i told them cannit be la. I hv frens having even bigger tyre n their consumption is stil better than mine. They just cant explain it and nothing i can do abt it....

 

The paper spec for our m6 consumption is 16.67km/l i think but i dun think it is achievable la. Until now i m stil wondering why my consumption is so bad. I m not heavy footed n dun simply ramp.... can anyone advise wats went wrong?

 

Thks

Decided to play with plasti dip on my rims. Cheap, easy and reversible.

Wow, nice job bro. Got a few qns on how u did it:

 

1) Do u need to tk out the rim for this?

2) Do u need to remove the tyre from the rim?

3) If above 2 qns is no, how to mask out the disc brake n oso the tyre? Oso how to dip the inner part of the rim?

4) the plastidip is it like those spray paint type in a canister? U were saying u using 4 cans so average is 1 can per rim.

5) How long it takes to complete this work? How long it tks for the dip to be dried?

6) Where can get this in Singapore?

7) Do they hv other color besides black?

 

Thks alot bro!

You accelerate too slowly? You keep in low gears too often?

Bro, your answers.

 

1) Do u need to tk out the rim for this?

No.

2) Do u need to remove the tyre from the rim?

No.

3) If above 2 qns is no, how to mask out the disc brake n oso the tyre? Oso how to dip the inner part of the rim?

I used black trash bag. Refer to this youtube video...that's exactly how I do it.

You don't need to cover the tyre as any overspray can be removed easily.

When you spray 6 coating, you would cover most part of the inner rim on those area that can be seem from outside.

If you want cover all inner rims areas then you can consider removing the rims.

 

4) the plastidip is it like those spray paint type in a canister? U were saying u using 4 cans so average is 1 can per rim.

Yes.

5) How long it takes to complete this work? How long it tks for the dip to be dried?

In between each spray I waited 15 mins. After 6 coating I move the car in front a bit to touch up some parts I missed.

About 2+ hours to finish the job.

 

6) Where can get this in Singapore?

Yes,

 

This is how I wrap my disc with black trash bag. Avoid windy place to do the spray.

Hi

 

Wats ur consumption like? My acceleration is normal lo. I din purposely start off slowly nor accelerate hard. Just as normal.

 

Normally when u start off, how much is ur rpm? If i remember correctly, i wont rev over 2k n i release e accelerator to mk it change gear. Not sure this wil affect anot? Anyway next servicing i wil feedback to mazda on e high consumption. So now just wanna know wats e average u guys is having now.

thanks

Bro,

My FC also very bad but I think its normal cos compare with my old 1.6l civic this 2.5l m6 gives me same milege for a full tank. No point compare with other drivers since their driving pattern and habits are different.

 

My FC is average 10.9 litre per 100km.if i measure FC for 1 day usage it is ard 9 litre per 100km. If mostly running on exressway easily 7-8 litre per 100 km but once city driving it will be high. By the way I am heavy footed.alway more then 3k rpm start off esp going into expressway worse..haha

Actually not trying to compare but more to find out is there anything wrong wif my car lo. Normally the paper spec will be off by abt 4 to 5. But now the actual is abt half of the paper spec. So i m kinda wori lo. Below is my 3 mths wkly consumption. I really feel it is v bad lo 😢.

Bro,

Another way to compare is to check whats your FC when you cruise at 80km/hr. Mine is ard ard 4-6 litre per 100km.

[ER-3682]

You using 95 or 98 petrol.?What tires pressure.?i-Stop off.?

Bro, can you share if you are using an app to track your FC or its a self-designed spreadsheet on Excel? Its very informative. Sorry to hear about the poor FC.

If u using android phone. Go download My Cars app. V easy to use n informative.

Sori, some correction fr my previous post. I rev not more than 3k instead of 2k during initial acceleration unless i m rushing.

Try to reach gear 6 fastest and then cruise at 80ish.

 

Fc on ur display should be 5-6+ L per 100 km

 

On highway cruise can even get 4ish on flat roads.

Yes, thats consistent on my car display thats why i dont believe my car got problem but its my leg and mainly driving pattern...haha

 

I believe how we drive off is also important as my display can show as high as 50-90 litre per 100km.If city driving then its quite high FC due to many traffic lights.

Run in period for first 1000 km I relax. Drove slowly still 14+km/l.

 

After that drive faster to cruise. Now hoot sport mode to Cheong to 120 on highway then come back to normal mode in city. Fc will get better as engine works. All e seals n oils run better Ma. Until first oil change , then will be e best better fc
