Cruze FC

[Ahksim]

 

my mark-x does abt 10km/l.

[Rainmaker]

my prado also abt 10.2km/l

[GoodCar]

My CRV 2.0 range from 9.4 to 10.7 km/L depending on traffic condition using Ron 95.

 

 

I think Cruze FC is reasonable given it's size and European platform. It is a goodcar which is value for money.

Juz checked with Alpine today. Only less than 10 units of Cruze 1.8 LT model affected by this recall in Singapore.

[GoodCar]

Good to hear that

 

looks like 1.8L model is not popular in Singapore :p

[Davidkopio]

Not that 1.8 is not popular.. it's the $15k premiun over the 1.6A model.

Heard the FC is better than 1.6A though. Maybe the 1.8 Opel Ecotec engine is more efficient & also a better match for this heavy car.

[Whyeme]

just set a new record fc for my Forte 1.6EX auto today

fully stock

spc92 returned 14.2km/litre, manual calculation

car mileage 21k

85% highway, 15% city

you cannot expect people in the sales line to be 100% truthful

driving cruze for 2 weeks now... 40% CITY 60% JAMMED HIGHWAY. FC is 9~9.5 km/l.

U can achieve 12~14 km/l easily if u travel more hjghway cos this car cone with 6 speeds auto box.

Going north next weekend, will update on cruze FC on sgcruze forum.

[Monksgs]

we bought an OPC Cruze, don't care much about the FC...

 

something I don't understand, i.e. Japanese car has better FC, but may have 10k more exp...how long will u save FC for 10k? 10 years?:)

Jap cars have better FC??? True in 1980, 1990s. It's total rubbish now!

That is Fact, not th Truth.

Fact is reporting base on set conditions - 12km/L CAN - accelerate lightly, try maintain speed @70km/H even on Expressways drive on Left lane.

 

Truth is you will never be able to drive like that.

let say you drive 20k km per year.

the difference in FC is 2km/l

hence you saved about 333 litres per year.

if you use

RON98 = 1.93/l = 642.69 per year

RON95 = 1.85/l = 616.05 per year

 

if the difference in FC is 3km/l

hence you saved about 538 litres per year.

if you use

RON98 = 1.93/l = 1038.34 per year

RON95 = 1.85/l = 995.30 per year

 

I'm really amused by people who always talk about FC FC FC

Actually fc tell you how good the car is not just engine management system alone - more O2 and fuel sensors tat improve fc. But usually a better car with better fc is also having more feature & safety sensors all over the car, this all add up to the premium of those.

 

So the measurement is not just fc alone... there are more to tat.

[Thesingingbard]

that's great!

 

coz for CRUZE, recommend to use RON95 Petrol according to manual.

 

so i doubt anybody would pump RON92.

 

[My_Motor]

I think your 8.8km/l is a bit high FC for a sedan. Mine is SUV.

 

May be you can try checking your tyre pressure is correct and using the correct fuel (RON).

 

City driving and highway driving can also make a big different.
