Wow great advertisement !

Dun like that la. No work, stay at home nothing to do so want to share something good. Been wanting to share for a long time, but didn't do it till now.

I already posted in this thread in 2018, trying to look for a solution to get more FC out of a Korean car. You can call me a cheapo, buy cheap car still want good FC..but can save money, save lor. During that time, no1 can really give me good advice, so I just went on to do my online research for the cheapest option. And together with a workshop recommendation, I decided to try that product.

Hi @Nofear, this time my assumption gotten ahead of my logic.    I thought it is one discreet advert from ws.   Time to change my reading glass.

Moving on 2 yrs fr then...so we should ask u how to get this Nano thingy? 🤔

Go Shopee and order from Malaysia side or you can go to the car workshop, that i had been going to for the past 4 years, to buy from them. But they also buy from Malaysia.

 

i posted in this thread to look for a good FC solution in May 2018 and i just want to share with the people that was like me once. Buy cheap old car but want to drive for another 5 to 10 years without much problems and want to save petrol.

Today my FC for my Kia Forte 2009 (renewed COE) has hit 15km/l !!!

Average for the past 1 year plus since my last post was 13.8km/l .

I changed my tyre size to 15" (2nd hand K3 Rim + Tyres) and I used this product called Nano Energizer for the past 1 year plus. From 10km/l, I managed to get 13.8km/l 

Downsizing the wheels is the right choice and will be better if the rims are lighter. Use fuel injection cleaner once awhile to maintain injectors condition. My 11 year old Avante Manual has been getting around 11 to 13km/l in 75 - 100% urban condition. On 95% highway driving, I get around 17 to 18km/l. Riding on octane 92 fuel and just on regular servicing and occasionally uses fuel injector cleaner.

I think I will keep my current rims. Too heavy on the wallet to change to lighter rims. But can you tell me what kind of fuel injector cleaner you used? Can DIY one? 
905km on Avante is amazing!

I used STP, Redline and Mystery Marvel fuel injectors occasionally. 905km is nearly 100% expressway driving. Our ride shares the same engine, and it is a very smooth and refine sounding one. So.... Just enjoy the ride. Cheers!

I’m not too sure. I only know i used it on my Kia. 2 years ago I posted questions here to increase my car FC but can’t find a good solution until I researched and stumbled upon this product. Plus a change of tyre size = better FC.

Bro, you downsized your tires - it's your tires lar... nothing to do with the additive you used - I presume it's an engine additive...

My word... how did that happen??? Pretty unlikely anyone would be keeping such rims at home... can try the tire and rims shops, they do get trade-ins but this rim is quite old already right?
