Grisson 1st Gear October 16, 2015 Share October 16, 2015 Don't judge based on the % of the accelerator, use the instantaneous FC readout. This one will tell you if you are wasting fuel at that point of time while you drive, then you adjust accordingly. low % acceleration may not pull enough power to move the heavy chassis. No momentum will eat fuel more. Better to step more to get momentum and save more fuel. Thanks for the info, will switch to this gauge & see if it works. Anyway, I always think, that if you're always pondering over the fuel consumption, you'll lose the fun of driving a turbo Subaru...like what others say, if you want fuel efficiency, go buy a Toyota instead ... IMHO, don't expect great FC for city driving. 7~8 are consider good FC for subaru car for city driving... Yup...I'm sure its mainly bcos of my 80% city; 20% highway route that's the main cause...bo pian lah... As far as I know.. The engine oil is synthetic from the get-go. :) Ohh...? I heard the 1st initial oil is mineral...so it'll be great if it's started with synthetic... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisson 1st Gear October 16, 2015 Share October 16, 2015 Audio shop should have rubber noise insulation seal for the door.. Am trying out this door seal with my installer...will update if there's any improvements... Am also doing sound proofing at the back & at all doors yesterday, during the installation of the current stock sound system, to my previous system in my previous car. But I will be retaining the current HU, as my previous HU's not suitable for 2-din space. Here are some pics to share : Will upload more pics progressively... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl 1st Gear October 16, 2015 Share October 16, 2015 The default is "I" mode. Sporty modes are "s" mode and "s#" mode. There's a debate which mode offers the most balance drive in terms of economy and power. For mostly highway driving s# mode may be better, for mostly city driving i mode is still the way to go. So what is the different between S and S#? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic October 16, 2015 Share October 16, 2015 So what is the different between S and S#? S# will holder the rpm higher than S before gear change. S# will change the gear to 8 spd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl 1st Gear October 16, 2015 Share October 16, 2015 S# will holder the rpm higher than S before gear change. S# will change the gear to 8 spd. arh... that's why S# is good for highway driving.... Thanx for the feedback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayuready 1st Gear October 16, 2015 Share October 16, 2015 thanks for clarifying on the different modes. Am i right to say the different mode will at most affect only the FC but not the longevity of the gearbox? hehe should be fun to be in perm S# or at least S mode ? hehe remember I mode to be abit laggy when i test drive it.

Grisson 1st Gear October 16, 2015 Share October 16, 2015 (edited) Fuel consumption increased after sound proofing? :) haha...nope, like I mentioned in my earlier post, I've actually given up on pondering over fuel consumption liao...as what I've did in my previous ride. I did the sound proofing is b'cos of my sound system, as well as the additional door seal on all doors, to try to reduce wind noise... Yup, the added weight of the sound proofing materials will add on to the fuel consumption for sure haha... Edited October 16, 2015 by Grisson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours sensors factory fitted? When I was considering Forester two months ago, they told me the rear sensors are locally fitted and front sensors optional with a dedicated display mounted on dash.

Hey bro, for "sport sharp" (S#) on highway driving, gear 8, the rpm is higher by a few hundred as compared to "I" mode with gear 6. In this instance, S# should be burning more fuel right?
