CL7A fuel problem

weishien · Post by **weishien** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 9:28 pm

i find V-Power gives better FC than 98, likewise 98 can travel longer than 95...

hv been monitoring FC on my CL7A for past few months, mine usually lights up when past 480km....btw 9-10km/l so far.

My full full tank can do only 500km, which mean about 7.8km/l

My fuel tank is 65l, dunno yours.

I am basing on my fuel tank to calculate.

Bro you should base on everytime how much fuel you pump when you see the red warming light pop up. That will be more accurate, just my opinion. I always pump around 52L and getting around 520-580km/l

after looking at your threads, is it just a dream? :p

Perhaps you should juz ask the person who told you about his FC is 13km/l what the driving pattern is like, what size of rims, what kind of tyres, what is being removed from the car (eg spare tyre)....

Thx for the post ... Getting my car tomorrow. Will try servicing with those '0w40' or '0w30' oil, seems to get better mileage. The tires that come with my car are also the Hankook V12s. Will change the fuel filter cause already 80k.

Will update you guys my mileage in a few weeks or so.
