[King]

feb 2002 1.6

[Elina]

just for your comparison, my ride is mazda323 1.6Auto Dec01. FC ave 11plus, sometimes can reach 12plus, if reduce the use of air-con. if your ride is manual, should be able to reach 13-14. Just ask Hitman.

but somehow, i find the suspension for this car abit hard, compared to my previous rides (toyota), but already used to it now.

my ride is protege323S (M) 2003, FC average 10 , mebbe i have a heavy foot

[Elina]

yup, your driving style affects your FC, im quite lightfooted. also depends on whether you drive mostly highway or city.

[Zealot]

mine is a '01 auto mazda 323 , about 11km/l...

fairly light footed, usually between 2-2.5k rpm....

[Owen_fan]

yup I agree, our driving style affects the FC. I'm driving a manual 2003 323(1300cc), & my ride is the same size as the 1600cc model. As my engine only 1300cc, so it need more power (i.e. more petrol as well)to move the car I'm very light foot, never ram above 3K rpm. I travel about 350km per week (70% highway, 30% city)& top up my petrol (about 24L). So my average FC is 14.5Km/L, & the best I can get so far is 15.6Km/L.

[Poortraveller]

14.5km/l .... how i wish these figures is mine

1) take out spare wheel & jack

2) dun rev above 2500rpm

3) dun fetch CO's fat colleagues to mrt

>> this is a killer ... either i die or my FC die

 

4) Dun on a/c

>> can install battery operate fan???

[Robin]

1) take out spare wheel & jack

>> can consider ...

-> puncture call tow truck! How often will u get a puncture...touch wood.

 

2) dun rev above 2500rpm

>> never rev above 2.5k leh ...

-> keep around 80km/h at constant rev. but very hard. my right foot will cramp if maintain a position too long

 

3) dun fetch CO's fat colleagues to mrt

>> this is a killer ... either i die or my FC die

-> i always say " today we going somewhere else" ... then faster siam

 

4) Dun on a/c

>> can install battery operate fan???

-> no need, waste battery. extend my cold air piping from engine bay into cabin

[Poortraveller]
