Hi, just bought a 2nd hand forte 2.0 Been driving for around 2 mths, been on one road trip to desaru. Make it short. In spore , tried driving heavy footed or light footed, my best distance on half tank is 200~210km While on the road trip, i already get 200 km when fuel needle is slightly below the 3 quarter mark. I know city driving and long distance driving got difference. But REALLY that big difference? Anyway from what i see, except a voltage stabiliser, all the rest are stock. Unless ex owner go upsize fuel injector, which cannot be seen. Question1 : Forte 2.0 owners, whats ur average fuel consumption Question 2 : Anything special to note for servicing which is different from the 1.6L version. Gam sia in advance.....

I have a 2.0 as well. Consumption is the same as yours. My thinking is like this. For cars with a Bigger Capacity, you can see a difference between city and cruising. You see, when we are at 100km/h, RPM is about 2k wheareas a 1.6L will be about 2.5k. In city driving, when there is a red light, a 2.0 burns more than a 1.6 even though both are at a standstill.

Ohhh..... maybe thats why many people dun bother to reply me lah.... So mine is pretty normal, so not much point discussing on this kinda topic. I was driving a vios prior to this new vehicle. Absolutely no idea on how this forte should perform. The ex-owner actually downgraded to 16" wheels for increasing fuel efficiency i think. Thanks for your feedback.

though mine is a 1.6c average for 1/2tank is around 2500 , maybe u want to reset your ECU buy taking out your ne-v point of the battery for 10min and try it out.

This is a crazy vehicle. I got a new job which requires me to get onto cte/sle for 10~11 km then about another 4km to my workplace.
Im getting an average of 150km runs on a quarter tank of fuel only.
So virtually this is a car not suitable for heavy start stop city driving at very short distances.
Anyways thanks for all inputs up to now.

Yep. This is normal. Though thirsty, the car is very sweet to drive.

Installed a DIY oil catch tank for 2 months already.
Caught almost 3 soup spoons full of engine oil from the PCV output. Chinese soup spoon if are wondering which type...
Also did a closed loop air intake from the from the airbox to a T-joint, connected to the output of the oil catch tank.
In a sense, the exhaust is noisier but seems i got the car to drive more smoothly. The lag in power when i step on the pedal is somewhat shorter now.
No changes in fuel consumption however.....
The meter clearly shows i am always hovering between 8.9L/100km to 9.5L/100km Quite precise according to how i calculate my fuel consumption of total distance covered divided by the amount of petrol pumped.
The ECU seems to have stabalised thru these few months of my driving pattern.
