what's wrong with my Jazz fuel consumption? 380km light on?

98RON on a jazz is overkill. waste of money....

unless ur using it for the "claimed cleaning benefits" etc of the fuel...but still....

Call it the placebo effect or w/e, but i do notice better consumption and a bit more power with the 98RON. And its barely $5 a week extra. Worth it to me

Agreed. Tried it for a while, and get best results ( value ) with E10 ( was getting engine pinging on regular unleaded ).

380-400kms is pretty normal. The people getting 500+ kms probably have the previous Jazz model with the CVT transmission. My 1.3 Jazz (auto) bought in 2009 has 21,000kms now and I get about 400kms before the light goes on. I use regular unleaded and do 90% city driving.

that's correct the previous model jazz's were better on fuel, my 2003 jazz was getting about 550 & my 2009 jazz is doing only about 400.

Got the same problem here
GE jazz only getting around 400 - 450 km's for a full tank

i actually checked my klms today & the last time I added petrol I used caltex vortex 98 for the first time since having the car & I have done 430 with maybe 20 to go till empty. that's with air con going also.

So I am getting much more klms with premium fuel. However you have to weigh up the extra costs between the 2 fuel prices.

also I must add with my 2003 jazz I used nothing other than premium & I would have continued the same only I read on here that the engine was only tuned for unleaded.
