kobayashiGT Internal Moderator April 17, 2014 Author Share April 17, 2014 Yes, keep thinking of changing car but every time look at the FC of other cars puts everything off. Just saw peugeot allow their diesel car to pump at ASEAN country, hopefully more diesel powered car able to do i as well... Woah. No need to change lah. IMHO.. if space is not a big issue to your everyday driving, i think Prius C is a good city driving car. How often u go to petrol kiosk arh? once a month? haha. Are u talking about the peugeot 508 Diesel? My neighbor is driving the stationwagon one. Really very nice. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really very nice. 1 tank can hit 900km, how I wish the tank is double the current size (36L). Yep talking about that station wagon. I was hoping that the Sante Fe comes in Diesel version, like the looks and the size of it =) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptronic Supercharged April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 9.8 is very good for that car! If they change design at the front (side and back good), I will target this next. By the way, have you ever compared A45? About 50/50 E'way/start-stop for me. Average about 9.8km/l (just over 10 if I'm very light footed). I consider this excellent for a performance car with a 3L twin scroll turbo under the hood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVT Supercharged April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 Why so bothered about FC ? Just enjoy your ride, and when petrol runs low, top-up and continue your journey lah... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast1 Supersonic April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 9.8 is very good for that car! If they change design at the front (side and back good), I will target this next. By the way, have you ever compared A45? Never driven it. I don't like "bo liao" asking for test drives, unless they themselves invite me, like when I got to drive the E55 AMG years ago. But I would not expect the A45 to have such good FC, partly because it has an AWD drivetrain, which usually weighs down the car and increases parasitic losses.

Steptronic Supercharged April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 Are we not Sinkies? 1. We buy a performance car for 300k plus and still worry about FC difference of 1 km/l 2. We buy BMW and still negotiate with car washer and so on. Come on let us not lose our identity! Why so bothered about FC ? Just enjoy your ride, and when petrol runs low, top-up and continue your journey lah... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxilplix Turbocharged April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 2.5 Legacy GT Wagon - 5.5-5.8 km/l Home to office commute is around 2km, so the car spends a lot of time just warming up in the parking lot and being driven lightly. I usually arrive with the oil not fully warmed up. Close to 100% urban cycle because my regular supermarket/makan places/shopping centre all within 5-6km radius, all on surface roads. Car also not stock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roh96 6th Gear April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 Drive big car into kiosk, when come to payment also feel proud. Counter - "Morning Sir, which pump" Owner - "Pump 1" Counter - "Sir, that is $140 dollars". Other owners beside will turn and look at pump 1 to see sami chia that cost $140 to pump.

TVT Supercharged April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 This poll had no meaning. Too many factor affecting FC. Car CC, traffic condition, drving habit etc...... Without comparing detail, a 1.6L car can do below 10km/l in 100% city driving, can also do >15km/L for mix driving. And who rides with you in the car also affects FC...Eg. a fat woman and a slim xmm both makes a difference in FC loh... Are we not Sinkies? 1.

XMM = less weight, but you'll push harder to show off to her, so everything cancels out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I last week saw the ssang yong korando, diesel powered and i find the grille have the resemblance of a Jag, hahha. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[laugh] Lucky you never mention cup size affecting FC!! btw.. I believe at which time of the day you are driving affects more on FC rather than highway/city percentage.. at peak hours.. our expressway are no better than driving in city...
