My Latio AT is coming to 7yrs old next month.
In human terms, she can take CPF liao. But these days, i'm starting to get only 10km/l FC. Any other old Latio drivers? Or is it just mine that has aging problems. |

What I guess is wear & tear... Old cars have engines which has undergone wear will have loses throgh pistons,valves, gears etc. Due to improper/inadequate maintenance, frictional losses will be higher with time. With proper maintenance of cars/equipments you can keep fuel consumption low.

Have you change spark plugs? Could try doing throttle body cleaning, next check if tyres are correctly inflated.

How much is the package @ Autosaver, for how many sessions? As for FC, it currently ranges from 12+ to 13+km/ltr. Running on Esso 92 most of the times. 50% city driving, but expressway sometimes also jam up too. This post has been edited by Panerex77: Sep 15 2012, 02:13 PM |

Any other old Latio drivers? Or is it just mine that has aging problems. Assuming engine everything is fine, then like old folks got arthritis, bone loss something like that. Have to adjust driving style loh. My 16 year old civic still gives me 12 to 14 km/l,. I am not a light footed driving by any means though I will just feather the throttle if I am really in relax mood. Coasting in gear also helps. Do not coast in neutral as its dangerous and use more petrol. -------------------- "Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants.

You could try give your Latio a dose of strong injector cleaner, change your air filter and change your engine oil to those high cleaning type, this will free your piston ring from sticking and improve compression ratio maybe.
btw, what engine oil did you used for the past few servicing? -------------------- My Orange Ford Territory Ghia - Philips Xtreme Vision 100+, NGK ZFR6FIX-11 Iridium, Redline 0w30, Redline High Temp ATF, Redline Heavy Weight Shockproof |
