High Fuel Consumption
-
Anybody drive hyundai accent 1.5(Auto),I top up abt 33 litres and when I travel till 300km the fuel top-up indicator light up.Then I top up another 36.5 litres.I juz bought my car last month and I think the fuel consumption is very high....Can anybody help me....???

Wow, the fuel consumption of the Hyundai really that bad? To me its a totally unacceptable figure. That's abt 8km-9km plus per litre, which is very bad.
Are you a heavy footer? There's really a different in driving in city and highway, so maybe this play a part.
If it's really the engine fault, I don't think there's much you can do abt it, but I will suggest you bring it down to Komoco Motors to complaint abt it, and see what they says.
There are some after market products which when fits reduces petrol consumtion as well, but to what extend tehy work i can't really says cos I never fitted with one before, though their advertisment look impressive. Maybe you can try that out.
In fact last yr i think, there was this forum guy who complainted that his 1.6l Kia Spectra only travels 6km/l ! Maybe that's what happen to one in every few korean made cars. That's something to take note really. My friend 1.6 Nissan Sunny auto is abt 10km/l flat and its already consider very bad, fyi.
Hope you are able to solve this problem. Understand your agony. -
I am not a heavy footer,sometimes I even accelerate too slow until the lorry behind overtake me.I dun understand why the the fuel consumption is so high.My friend accent 1.5M can travel till 450 to 500km,although mine is an auto gear but I dun think the difference is so much leh.....

no offence to korean makes... but maybe the korean technology ain't advanced enuf to create engines which give power & economy simultaneously... and also probably korean cars tend to be heavier...
heard that replacing spark plugs may help fuel economy? -
I own a Hyundai Accent 1.3 Manual and got 12 litre/km. But I know a friend's Accent 1.5 Auto achieved only 8 km/litre.Originally posted by Theatre Of Dreams:no offence to korean makes... but maybe the korean technology ain't advanced enuf to create engines which give power & economy simultaneously... and also probably korean cars tend to be heavier...

But it's ok if yu consider that the Accent costs $20,000 lower than an equivalent Jap model.
Assuming :
Jap car's FC is 12 km/litre
you drive 30,000 km per year
Petrol price is $1.29 per litre
Over 10 years, you can will work out that the saving in petrol is only about $16,000.
So you save $4,000 when you buy the Accent. -
The dealer told me after the 3rd servicing,the fuel consumption will be better...itzit true????
Anyway thks for all the reply!!!!! -
8km/litres????Did yr friend check out wif KOMOCO???
-
Do you always travel short distances?Eg,less than 10km.
That could be the problem. -
i used to drive a hyundai 1.5L manual.
$50, Shell 98. 520+km... -
Anybody or yr friend driving Accent 1.5 (A)???Can you check for their fuel consumption???thks for the help!!!
-
I am driving a 4yr old Accent 1.5M. It gives me a good mileage@13+km/litre. I travel 70% expressway:30% normal road. & normally, it's only 2 person travelling.
Yes, initially, the fuel consumption is bad@10km/l but slowly increased to current.
The load u are taking does make a difference, besides the driving habit and pattern. Make sure that u clear of extra load off your boot.
Rgds. -
yeah try not to have any unecessary stuff in ur car... weight = more fuel wasted... applies to all cars
-
I am always driving alone,I don't think it is because of the load.Coz I juz bought my car last month,it is quite empty.

The 1st 1000km is very important to a 'new' car therfore is not made to speed generally the consumption of fuel seem like very high. After your 1st service (1000km) and the second service at 5000km thereafter you will be able to top-up with high grade man-made engine oil that will be lighter and endure higher heat than the conventional engine oil that you might be using. With some fine tuning do-up in the Komoco service centre and paid an extra to change 'special' spark plug' that give you better firing combustion and some 20-25% better 'Vbroom...!' also some 15-20% saving fuel consumption.
Someone send me this,itzit true??? -
What is the fuel consumption for Peugeot 307 1.6 tiptronic ?
