Genie47 1st Gear September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 Yes I did it but it was calculated based on a between 1/2 to 3/4 tank with 20L fill-up in JB. Just went in ..... hehehehe thanks Saaber. Covered 300km. The strange thing about this mileage is that I threw away the slow take off and started revving hard to reach cruising speed whenever I got out to the E'way. Whenever I know that after a traffic light is a long stretch non-stop, I will climb up to speed really fast. Use 5th gear when at 60kph. Another thing is that I started avoiding the KJE to PIE stretch every morning since they closed off Jln Lam Sam and Jln Chi Chau, yes no more rally action . Been taking Old CCK to Jln Bahar then turn out to PIE. BTW, do you realize that all the roads starting with "Old" are really nice to drive on? Old Woodlands, Old CCK, Old Jurong. Any other old roads I have failed to mention? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tien Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 I managed 14.03km/l last sunday (calculation after using 3/4 tank on RON95, auto trans) nv change driving style so i figured "less-new car" probably has better FC (my ODO=10k km) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 (edited) Yes I did it but it was calculated based on a between 1/2 to 3/4 tank with 20L fill-up in JB. Just went in ..... hehehehe thanks Saaber. Covered 300km. This is still a range that they will justlet you pass. I use this range too Your FC same as mine oredi. The strange thing about this mileage is that I threw away the slow take off and started revving hard to reach cruising speed whenever I got out to the E'way. Whenever I know that after a traffic light is a long stretch non-stop, I will climb up to speed really fast. Use 5th gear when at 60kph. This is my driving style as well ... you are learning fast bro Thats why I rev to 3000 rpm for each lower gear change just to get up to 5th gear asap Edited September 13, 2004 by Hitman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear September 13, 2004 Author Share September 13, 2004 I skip. I rev using 3rd to reach any speed greater than 60 and move to 5th. Sometimes, just wack on 2nd to reach above 60 then move to 5th. Always near rev cut at 6.5kRPM. Wife very terrified of this driving style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillight Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 This style of driving used to freak me out too until i realised it's just a lot of noise but no real action It's the sliding corners that really make me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear September 13, 2004 Author Share September 13, 2004 Yes, actually once past max torque for the RPM, the car hardly can accelerate. For the F14D3-G, the max torque peaks out at 3.4kRPM the VGIS kicks in only around 4.8kRPM to burn more gas than you ever comfortable with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tien Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 yes, still the same old (or is it still new?) aveo with z-stab as the only aftermkt addon. 10km+ when first gotten the car, then slowly improved until yesterday, 14km/l ok, i painted the calipers red, maybe that helps too?

[/reply] Yup, noticed the same thing. I tried revving hard on my last tank of petrol, thot just to give the engine some excercise but hv noticed that FC seems to improve compared to slow & steady pick up what gives?

Sotong_kia Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 Hmm.. really.. must try revving starting with new tank tonight.. But mine Auto.. so revving will only drag the gears.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 I also dun know ... I've been driving like that as long as I can remember and my FC is always good. I mean ... for my car , it makes no sense to change gears at 2000 rpm ... the whole car would shake and vibrate like mad. I do 4000 rpm changes .... my fuel consumption better than when I change gear at 2500 rpm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah_veo Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 "ok, i painted the calipers red, maybe that helps too?" i suspect its the red calipers..... any more paint, can borrow me some??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tien Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 borrow? then when you paying me back? hahaha i am done spraying so you can have it, no worries. maybe half or slightly lesser than a bottle left, should be good for spraying a pair. it's matt red clour (not those glossy finish paint) though, if you dont mind. when you want it? put time and place lah. best at night lah. gaurantee you can get 15km/l after painting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
