Is there a way to improve fuel efficiency through changing parts of the vehicles?

[TanShuQiang]

I just brought at 2nd hand Maxus G10 Executive, and on paper the fuel efficiency is 11.7 L per 100km. I was wondering if there will be any workshop or guru here can advise any possibilities of changing vehicle parts that can help improve fuel efficiency?

Yes. It's called right foot control.

Sadly, I lack it myself.

Take out sparse tire and all the seats. Hehe....

You are paying more than 10k a year to the Govt in the form of COE, ARF, road tax and petrol tax, easier to change govt than change parts to significantly improve FC.

Maxus G10 is a very heavy MPV based on a Van with RWD,also not Aerodynamic,on paper 11.7L/100Km[8.54Km/L],most likely real Driving,only 6.6Km/L.[15L/100Km].

@TanShuQiang Then you bought the wrong Car/MPV...Should buy a Suzuki Swift Sports.

Replace the accelerator pedal with one with spikes. And drive barefoot.

Off Aircon. Fresh air! Immediate savings. Or ask all family members to lose weight.

Dig a hole in the floor and ala Fred flintstone style!

sell lor!

Just park it at home and take bus/mrt. Zero fuel consumption.

Anyway why buy a 8.5 km/l van that drinks on petrol? Anyway diesel is quite expensive now at over $3/litre. 

You should buy an oil rig. Unlimited amount or at least feel unlimited for your vehicle. Can even make money by selling oil.

Only press the brake if absolutely needed.

Rev hard to 2500, let it drop to 2000 then rev hard to 2500 again until hit 79 kmh and then used lane 4 on PIE.

Lane 1 all the hoggers and van cannot use.

Lane 2 all the van road hoggers doing 63 because they see 70 on there speedo but its really always 10% fast.

Lane 3 is all the buses doing 60.

Lane 4 is going straight and completely empty.

Lane 5 and 6 is turn off PIE exit.

Yes, can change vehicle parts...
Some more no need so complicated,
change one part after another and troubleshoot
Just change the whole vehicle to one with better FC
There you have it, improved fuel efficiency

p/s: Look for @Jamesc hearsay he gives the best price, just quote MCF

dun waste useless money 😅

make sure all the proper servicing are done.  engine oil, atf, spark plug, tyres pump up. thats it liao. how many parts u change or mod is not going to give u any improvement that is really worth the money .

if really want try maybe can use thinner engine see how, personally that is the max i will go. ( example 5w40- 5w30 )

If all servicing done properly , like most bro say, its down to your right leg 😂
