Hi guys,
just to check wat is the fuel like for ur 1.4M rio?
i just pump full tank when i collected my car 2 weeks ago.. and when the needle reached slightly below 3/4, the TRIP A reads 312KM.. i estimate when it reaches the Empty, its around 400km.
On my 2nd pump, when the needle drop 1 bar, it reads 110KM..
is there something wrong with my car? the fuel consumption seems high... i am not a heavy footer.

I usually average between 35.5l to 37 l for full tank (Pump till auto stop after seeing Warning light) I hit 110km (35.5 l @ autostop) to 140 km (37l @autostop) at the 1st quarter guage, and 320km (35.5l) or 350km (37l) and when the warning lights come on 470km (35.5l) or 505 km (37l) which gives a average of 7.4l/100km or 13.3 km/l. Tried this for about 8 fill ups for my 6 year old kia rio 1.4(m) HB

Actually hor.. I read somewhere that the fuel tank for rio is wider at the bottom so technically speaking, the last quarter should go the longest distance. Mine averages at least 140km to 150km then warning light comes one...
Keep us updated.. btw what size tyre?

Rio is heavy lah. I driving auto, 1st bar is ard 120km.
Reserve tank is ard 8l, means from light up at least another 80km. So confirm can find petrol. Lol
On 15", FC after QF is 10-11km/L Sianz but enjoying owning a car^^

Hi guys, I'm driving a 2010 rio and my Fc has been very good. highest I hit is around 16.5km/L, lowest was about 13.5km/L..In addition, I change my front and back and installed RISK, but it still gives me a very good FC..

Hi, i today tested driving till the empty fuel light came up.. base on what i see, the last quarter last me a longer distance. i travelled from benoi road to jalan bahar to old airport road, den to tampines to punggol promenade, back to tampines.. i travel all those places with 1/4 tank.. the light only lighted up when i reach back at tampines.. so far, my full tank lasted around 430km

The highest I hit was something like 12.01km/L. 3x I think. Lol
My 195 tires really did me in lah. Everything affected after I changed tires. That's why lan lan hv to QF to negate the effect. Poot

Quick Flash. done by Joey from Harmony. They flash ur ECU to remap certain parameters so that the engine will be more efficient.
not the cheapest mod but goooooooooood
