Am wondering what is the average fuel consumption of a Kia Cerato V1 2005/6 1.6M .
Just bought one and mine seems to be about 10km/l. Is that normal? I don't really step that hard or rev that often. Also did full service after I bought. I use only on weekends so not sure if that affects.

Was thinking that it should be slightly more than 10km/l (now am barely reaching 10, more like 9++ km/l), since mine is manual. Thought manual can get 11km-12km/l .. sianz
Anyway, what is QF btw?

wah manual shd have better FC leh, have u service your ride recently? change all major fluids, shd see difference, including fuel filter whats your mileage by the way? QF is quick flash, play play with your ECU, upgrade la tune la whatever way u wanna put it, can contact Joey of Harmony Motor or pop by sgkiaclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=harmonymotor and check, the thread somewhere inside haha

Mine is a 07 V1 1.6M. When I am on 30w E. oil the best consumption I've clocked is about 12.4-12.9km/l and now I am on 40w E. oil my average is about 11.5-12km/l

..i tried 40W, 30W, 20W ...fav is still Schaffer 20W ..like water .. the engine really spins With 30W and esp 20W, gotta keep an eye on the oil level. I top up every 2K ..enough to get qbove 3/4 mark on dip stick.

Using W30, never need to monitor level, so far so good never drop

just bought a month back and brought to Harmony AMK for full service package (no major problems) but just change all the usual filters, oil and some liquids. Only issue highlighted was the suspension mount is starting to crack but the manager there said is usual problem and can reassess next service.
Mileage is 82k and 6.25 years old, so i guess it is average. Not sure why the FC is like that also but anyway since only top up a few times so probably will monitor.
Anyway, the QF on the ECU is for manual or auto? how much does Harmony charge?

Its gives you better power torque, HP and Fuel Consumption. Best setup till date which Joey encountered is Rapid Induction System Kit (RISK) + QF or FDL (Full Data Log, on e road tuning). With this kind of setup, no other mods required to gives u low to mid end which is ideal for local city driving & improves FC.

Another thing you might want to check is the spark plugs. Worn plugs can affect FC. My Auto model FC about 8-9km/l. Thirsty!!!

It's gd to check your plugs during scheduled maintenance and gap it if the the electrode wears out too much. If u or mech have a dedicated gap measure, use it to set to a known reference like a new plug. Else set all the four to be ..say the thickness of a 10cent coin ~1.1mm ..too small or too big has its own problem. At least this way all 4 plugs are somewhat similar in its performance.
