First n foremost am on R17 inches too.

Think e FC for my ride, CL7a too is ard 1L : 10km (Slightly +/-) there, which once reached ard 500-520km, the red light (reserved fuel) will be lighted, depend on how it drive and where I am driving to during e week.

Think our tank is 60L tank :[50L + 10L(reserved)].

Likewise, it not rem wrong, e stock rim shld only be size 15 inches.
So if asked how to improve FC, 1st of coz e driver's driving style if u are a heavy footer on e wheel.
2nd, u may wish to down-size ur rim size which do not think we will.
Lastly, am stil trying now too (not proven), is to increase ur wheel pressure slightly to 250-270 psi for ur R17 inches.

If u have any finding, plz share too ok.

i think it's normal for our CL7A to get FC of around 9-10km/l. I'm on 17" rims too. Think our full tank is 65L.

Usually i get yellow light when i've travelled 480-500km. Nothing we can do to increase FC. However, recently i installed the Blue Pivot Raizin volt stab, my FC seems to improve.... 8)

my previous cl7a easily touch 600km every tank when light comes out. car was fully stock except knn drop in filter and using 215/45/17 tires.

my current cl7r also can do 600km per tank when light comes out. car is lightly modded, air intake and exhaust. using 225/45/17.

Hi guys

When I just got my CL7 in the rim size of 16" my FC is
12km/liter. When I change to 18" rim is 10km/liter.
If you change the spark plug and air filter to increase the pick up this may help
Abit and I can go up to 550km full tank. I can reach 600km when I travel expressway alot.

wow, are you all on expways often?

my CL7A only manage 400+, at best ard 450 I think??

my daily driving to work is on normal roads, ard 11km to and fro, with each direction encountering about 3-4 traffic junctions (mostly need to stop). perhaps that is the reason for bad fc??

Wow... that is bad. Even for city driving, cl7a shouldn't be 8km/l. But if you use only 1 full tank for 2 weeks, then maybe. If not, you better do a thorough chk.

Down siZe rims is best option for good FC.
