me too... mine on 13 inch.. trying to convince my gf to change to 14 inch
mileage around 3.5 k now. so far the fc around 12 km/ltr nia... thin might be due to me being heavy footed..usually drives around 2.5 to 3.. more to the 3 rpm.. heh heh
tire air pressure is at 230.. quite bumpy at certain points of the road.. and btw mine is auto car.
hope comprehensive enough for your research

Hi guys mine using 14" stock sports rim . After my 1k service my fc is 14km/l to 16km/l, i try to change gear for (2000 or 2500)rpm. 14" rim still not too bad and indeed is much stable than 13"

so far , this thread keep repeating a couple of times.. For stable and nice , choose 15" FC high= but you all can tahan wan la.. oil price now low ma.. for mi, now using shell 95 , is a 13 to 14km/L. For stable = choose 14" 13"= you better change..

those with 12-13km/litre usually are auto picas right?
manual picas should hit 15km/litre and above easily

I think to use safety as the reason to change to bigger wheels is more than valid. Its the only point of contact between ur ride and the road... So is Life more impt or saving a few hundred $$? me too... mine on 13 inch.. trying to convince my gf to change to 14 inch mileage around 3.5 k now. so far the fc around 12 km/ltr nia... thin might be due to me being heavy footed..usually drives around 2.5 to 3.. more to the 3 rpm.. heh heh tire air pressure is at 230.. quite bumpy at certain points of the road.. and btw mine is auto car. hope comprehensive enough for your research

Are you using 195/50/15 with taiwan rims?? Most are quite heavy and did u check ur tyre pressure or blast the aircon?? 12km/l is quite jialat, even for an auto....
