Will try to update the Fuel Consumption of my Kia Forte as frequent as possible. Especially, within the first two service intervals (1,000km and 10,000km). Fuel Consumption details will be read on each fueling.
Summary
I was advise not to 'sayang' my drive from Kia Specialist, he told me to drive normally, the gearbox's fuzzy logic will adapt according to my driving style. I've start to just drive without thinking of the FC. I'm enjoying.. it.. . Best FC: 11.78 KM/L , Worse FC: 9.2 KM/L.
FAQ on FC Manual Calculation
1. Where do I read the distance (in KM)?
[Answer] Trip Meter during each refuel
2. Where do I read the Fuel amount (in Liter)?
[Answer] From the petrol station, during refuel

You cannot judge the fuel consumption by took the FC Calculation reading. More accuracy, after refueling full tank, set the milage trip to zero. When the fuel goes empty, take the reading. How many miles can go with one full tank.

ReplyDeletei heard caltex doesn suit forte well? is it true?
I think shell ROn95 is the best for my Kia Forte 1.6.
ReplyDeleteFull tank can travel around 500-580km depend on the driving condition.
Each time fill up around RM85.00
My 6 speed forte 1.6, ODO distance 4680KM, only can go 380KM with Shell 95 RM80. 70% city, 30% highway.
