  13km/litre?
  
  Is it stop go traffic or expressway traffic?
  
  For a new car,13km/litre is quite high.

  heard Lexus RX 300 does 15L/100km which is only about 7 km/L....talk about heavy consumption......understandably...it has 3L engine.

  Somebody's Honda Jazz managed to get 23.0 km/l. See :
  http://www.jroller.com/page/lowem/20030707#23_0_km_l
  
  That's due to its iDSI engine, dual spark plugs per cylinder, fire twice per cycle.
  
  But for most ordinary family sedans of 1.5L-1.6L, 12-13 km/l is pretty okay. Anything larger than that, you're talking about the "hiao" factor and it's no longer about economy - 2.0L++ engines will usually get much less than 10 km/l.
  
  My personal fuel economy record is 16.4 km/l. See :
  http://www.jroller.com/page/lowem/20030717#personal_economy_record
  
  But that was an exceptional case. Most of the time, 12-13 km/l is more typical.

  tat strange unless u travel at the same moderate speed. I recall tat when travel at 90km/h and 110km/h, shd uses abt 15% more fuel.
  
  Wat speed U travel at NS Highway?
• SilverCab

  Travelling at a constant speed will consume lesser petrol as compared to stop go traffic or short distance travel(less than 10km)

  also using a higher octane number will give you better efficiency

  wahhhh skyline derived... hao lian ah?
  but u conveniently forgot to mention that it was installed backwards into the X-Trail. something that works one direction may not be as good in e other directiong. i would think that that is simply for the convenience of parts sharing. If u already had a AWD platform n system, y not use it?
