Grisson 1st Gear October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 Audio shop should have rubber noise insulation seal for the door.. Ohh...? Ok will go my usual installer there to enquire...but its a shame that brand new car with brand new door seals also have such wind noise...probably its the design which's a little inferior to most conti-cars which has good sound insulation all round the car...hope Subaru can spend a little more time to improve on such small areas... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocus Turbocharged October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 Sighhhh...completed my 1st full tank today, & it was 7.2km/l...total mileage clocked from 1st full tank, until fuel indicator reached only 1-bar left, was 367km; thereafter went straight to pump petrol to full tank, about 51 litres of petrol...which gives me 7.2km/l....I did not even turned on "S" mode, & always kept my foot pedal below 20% all the time while driving, & rpm never reaches above 2,000rpm...see pic below on the foot pedal %. pic1.jpg Anyway, this fc is still soooooo much better than my '07 2.5L LGTW haha...but was expecting that it could be better with the new engine, & 2.0L, & CVT, & so on...anyway, can't expect good fc from Subarus especially turbo haha... Wish I can get close to 10km/l man... oh yah...to add on, perhaps my driving was maybe 80% city, 20% highway...? This could be the main cause of the high fc though.... Wow that's really bad! So far I haven't hit so low yet, my worst is 8km/l where I did mostly short trips and played a lot of s and s# mode. Did you leave your car idling a lot?

I always felt too light foot not necessary give you better FC. Because it take a long time to reach the cruising speed. I believe in moderate to fast accelerate to the cruising speed, which car had reach top gear and lowest rpm. That will give you better FC. I am not driving the XT yet, my current car I had a Pivot 3 Drive Throttle controller installed. I am using sport mode and set to sport 7 (max setting). i am getting same FC as using normal mode. With sport 7 mode, I am able to get faster throttle response. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you leave your car idling a lot? Hmm...perhaps I did idle the car a little more for the 1st few days...to learn the interior & the HU...but guess never idle for more than 30mins, 2 days max at most..? I also understand that the engine oil I hear for the car now is standard mineral oil right..? If yes, maybe it'll worsen the fc a bit, until MI will change to synthetic oil for he 1st 1,000km servicing..? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city and highway % does mean a lot. Plus maybe it takes sometime after a few tanks for the corr ft figures to show. I basically hit 11.5k/L after 4th tank with 80%HW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't judge based on the % of the accelerator, use the instantaneous FC readout. This one will tell you if you are wasting fuel at that point of time while you drive, then you adjust accordingly. low % acceleration may not pull enough power to move the heavy chassis. No momentum will eat fuel more. Better to step more to get momentum and save more fuel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strat 6th Gear October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 IMHO, don't expect great FC for city driving. 7~8 are consider good FC for subaru car for city driving... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know why your FC so high, your A/C temperature set too low, 20 degree only, I sit my friend's FXT set to 26 degree also feel too cold sometimes Edited October 15, 2015 by MQX87511 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get frequently told that turbos need to be treated somewhat differently, climb the gears fast as possible rather than go light footed. Light footed use more petrol. So I guess, you need to be a bit heavier footed? During the initial phase with my new car (not FXT, but also similar 2.0L turbo with 240hp) I also got around 7.5km/l at best on average. Like you I had a lot of city driving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayoflight 5th Gear October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 80% city driving confirm jiak you eh.. my 316i say until very fuel efficient, once do city driving.. can do 10km/l only Supposed to be 15km/l engine lo.. hahaha but different story when going on highway cruising Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a debate which mode offers the most balance drive in terms of economy and power. For mostly highway driving s# mode may be better, for mostly city driving i mode is still the way to go. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
