manual should be around +/- 16km/l, auto +/- 12km/l

is your ride still running-in on semi synthetic EO? if so cant expect fc to hit 16-17km/l. if ran-in on fully synthetic, must question on driving habit. 16-17 is just a guideline, not a surely get fc for pica. manufacturers usually test their products under perfect environment/condition which is not achievable in our reality everyday life/drive. hence the difference in manufacturer fc and user fc. i used the same method to calculate.. but i only manage to clock around 12 and 10 the last 2 pump.. mine is a manual drive..

furthermore, different pump attendants have different petrol pumping standard. some stop after the first auto cut-off, while others will pump a few more time after 1st auto cut-off. a more accurate method will be to pump the petrol yourself.

Mine also around 14.5km/l. Running on 14" tyres (185/55/14) and also on manual transmission. Change gear normally around 2.5 - 3k rpm.

mineral oil is very thick to protect your new engine running in hence the high fc you've got. if im not wrong, your engine oil will be changed to fully synthetic during your 5000km servicing. if you were to go back to C&C for servicing, they should be using shell helix ultra 10w40. keep in mind that this is still quite a thick engine oil. personally i'll recommend 5w30 spec oil for protection and good fc. during my running-in, i was getting about 12km/l which is about the same as yours. after my fully synthetic oil change of 10w40 shell helix ultra, my fc was about 14-15km/l. after that i went outside C&C and changed to 5w30 spec EO and got fc of about 16km/l. as i said earlier, the fc is just a manufacturer guideline which is not possible in real driving conditions in the real world. it's still up to your personal driving habit. dont expect to get good fc if you always floor the accelerator hard. i've got fc of 9km/l during shell V-power 25% discount days. is your ride still running-in on semi synthetic EO? if so cant expect fc to hit 16-17km/l. if ran-in on fully synthetic, must question on driving habit. 16-17 is just a guideline, not a surely get fc for pica. manufacturers usually test their products under perfect environment/condition which is not achievable in our reality everyday life/drive. hence the difference in manufacturer fc and user fc. my total mileage now is around 1500++, still running on mineral oil.. so are you saying a FC of 10-12km/l is normal at this stage? things will be better after i change to a fully syn oil?

anywhere wads the formula to caculate FC, can some1 help? Total milleage travelled divided by total fuel pumped. Eg, for that tank, u travelled 400km and den pumped 30l, ur FC is 400/30=13.33333 Note: After pumping, reset ur meter before moving off from the petrol kiosk. On ur next pump, u'll be able to get the accurate reading of ur milleage from ur meter and repeat the same calculation cycle again.

U dragster ah?? hee.. Me change gear 2.2-2.5krpm.. ;D Mine also around 14.5km/l. Running on 14" tyres (185/55/14) and also on manual transmission. Change gear normally around 2.5 - 3k rpm.

mine auto.. clocking 15km/L. rpm usually in range of 2.5k to 3k. depends on what tyre spec you using and any mods you did. heavier items or fully loaded car will decrease fc too. Air con usage is another factor.
Do a search as there is a previous discussion on this in great detail. Also got many tips on how to save petrol.

this FC thingy is very subjective..individual step of the acclerator with diff pressure.Ur light might be my heavy.Use a eletronic crusie control, it will help in maintain the most perfect lamda(fuel:air).

i did 2 mods which i feel is very good for fc. 1 is the sj-cai. makes your acceleration reponsive so you step less. another is the air intake thingy. cant rem the name. only 40 bucks. make the intake air like tornado like that. also improve torque and responsiveness. i'm running on stock rims which is also contributing efficiency to the fc.

pica fc quite good. if u change to others, u feel pica is the best for a 5 seater car.
till now dun dare to change car as fuel price are uncertain.
