What's your tyre size? that will definitely affect.. and the amount of air in tyre also.. When I pump at 190kpa my FC drops to 11.5km/l, When I pump to 240Kpa it goes up to 13km/l. So well mebbe there is some truth in it?

tyres are 195/55/15R pressure at 220 front, 210 rear, going to try 230 for all as its recommended for max load.

All the best!... My tyres are the same.. Kendal R23 Komet Plus..
Sometimes it could be your engine oil cause if its too viscous makes the engine work harder..

92.. not very good.. got diff from 92 to 95.. I dropped a full km at least.. but 95 to 98.. not that much difference...
After service should be better.

after servicing, this week consumption was 9.2km/L but i guess its due to one more trip of expressway i did. This week, i've added ECOBIOIL stay tuned. latest...pump 92 last week. and ended up about 290km for 32.5L so that works out to be only 8.9KM/L Sending my car to servicing tomorrow noon, update again whats achieve after servicing end of next week.

my now 1/4 tank and meter reads 282.. seems bad Thats better than mine already let. You take the trip reading before you pump then divide by the litres you pump. This should be a more accurate way to measure FC. The idea of the survey is to see if really some brands of petrol are really better for RIO as i was told.

Eco bio Oil? What's that? I tried using some fuel additives once. Bought from Mustafa... but in the end i think it did worse for my engine.. my FC dropped 2 weeks ago but went up this time. Fuel warning light came on at 461km. i average about 37 when pummped till auto stop..
If you use Android phone try the app Driver Dairy. It helps with averaging out the FC over a while. Mines about 12.95km/l..

www.ecolifestyles.sg/?page_id=326Using it for 2 days, did seems to improve responsiveness and lower gears stopping and pick up works better. Update again when i reach 1/4 mark. FYI, my Rio 2006 1.4M drinks SPC92 since 30end march. Now with SPC92 + EcoMAX Bioil Eco bio Oil? What's that? I tried using some fuel additives once.

Hi, juz pump today. Meter shows 328 when i pump.. Total pump 32.72 litre.. So avg around 10 Bro you still can pump more petrol. Based on your 32.72litres, that means when you travel for 60km distance, your needle should either start to drop or already at in between full and 3/4 there right ? If you squeeze till vomit, usually you can travel 160km then it start to drop. You notice while you travel.

Try caltex 97 or esso 95. you will get better ... don't use 92 because our engine take min. RON 95 and above ....
