Vtec consumption....

Trying to keep my car free of non-essential stuff. I think the heaviest items in the car (besides the driver [laugh]) is my 10" sub box at the back. And a rather light emergency detail kit (1x chamois, 4x mf cloth, Z-6, sponge and tissues).

Think not so bad lah, mines auto, and on a slow & easy day gear change 2.1K rpm or so. If normal driving 3K rpm. Only in "ahem" certain situations would I see a 5-6K rpm change (oh... and you got to love the rush, nothing like the EK SiR, but still wonderful)

mobil 5000 or caltex 95 or shell 95...

 

You find any difference between the 3?

My previous experience is that Caltexthumbsdown.gif

Mobil was goodthumbsup.gif but Shell even betterthumbsup.gifthumbsup.gifnod.gif

Maybe you should stick with Shell 95 and then monitor the FC again.

I'm using Mobil's Synergy 8000. I get slightly better mileage than Synergy 5000 (ok, maybe about 20km difference between them (judge by low fuel light warning). Tried Shell's V-power, but can't discern any difference compared to Mobil. I do feel that Malaysia's Esso Synergy F1 [thumbsup] (Ron97 btw) provides similar mileage as Syn 8000 but the acceleration is much smoother. Ok, let's not even go into price differences.

 

Running on Mobil 0W40 (Gold bottle gold cap)engine oil as well. Didn't know of VTIM's lobang else would have used that for my 1K service...

Hi all Vtec lovers,

This will help us collate the statistics on mileges done of our cars, pls feedback generally. Thanks.

 

As my recent record clocked was 13km/litre on my city vtec with occassional ramming.

 

driving a ES5, auto (2004) using shell 98 with a 15inch rim with quite a few mod. 60% to 70% highway; heavy footed also.

 

average FC is about 13.7KM/L so far (for my new rims)which is more lighter then my previous rims which using OZ;average FC is 12.8KM/L.

 

still monitor my FC as i just got my new rims changed appro 2 weeks.
