Last time my ride was oni ard 10km per litre.

After i solve my aircon prob for my car..now steadily 12km per litre liao.

My aircon prob is that rpm will go very low..till sumtimes car stall.

So finally found out that its the compressor..not that its spoilt..its that the compressor is a 2.0litre Integra compressor on my ESI!!!
Haha..

So means aircon takin too much power will affect FC too.

i had my FC change from about 11-12km/L to nolw about 14km/L.

All i did, which i encourage all to do is to have your O2 sensor checked. I had mine changed to a brand new one. 200 bucks

the sensor helps regulate the fuel to air combustion ratio so that the mixture doesnt run too lean or too rich (in my case, i was previously running too rich, thus a less than perfect FC).

very happy now.
