That's what I do. Bear in mind that the formula there will tell you how much petrol you used for each kilometre, so if you want 100km, you'll have to multiply it by 100.Quote:

i own a 2004 civic auto, sedan, and one full tank manages to get around 450 @ 38 - 40L on average.
oh haha. i didnt really drive it gently for the first 1000km. couldnt help myself sometimes lol
I turn on and off my car 4 - 5 times everyday, does it affect the fuel efficient?
btw jace, are you using BP 91 ron?
most people would turn their car on and off that many times a day..Quote:

Idling your car
City driving vs hwy driving
temperature of the day.. I've experienced more petrol usage on cold days,
how much you "floor" it.
etc etc etc
If I service my car, would it help a bit? It's 8000kms on the mileage already
8000km already? ur fuel consumption should be stable by then i guess, mine is only 450km on the clock.
i would try remove all the unwanted items (my boot is empty :) );
then i will try less aggressive driving, ie no WOT;
then i will try to drive in a less busy period, my working hour is 10 to 6, so easy for me,but u can either go a bit eariler or come home a bit later to avoid mass traffic;
what else? oh btw, how often do u add petrol? since i only add petrol like once a month? so there is no point for me to fill the whole tank up and carrying all those dead weight through the month. i normally just fill like 30L, then use it for 2 or 3 weeks, when yellow light on, do another refill.
hope these helps, if u do notice any changes, let us know. god help u and me on our fuel consumptions ^_^
I keep changing fuel; usually use Caltex since that's the only one near me. However I did notice when I tried BP 91, acceleration was better AND I travelled further.Quote:

I just start using Optimax, maybe it need a while for the car to get used to it? Lol. Seriously, I got no idea about car.
