How's ur driving? Town? Mine 30 % town... 25 liter can go 330 to 350 with heavy paddle... Overtaking all the way... I always fill up full... Damn annoying as should be 40 liter... But at 25 liter all bars gone already.. Why the engineer calibrate too high?

Your are still new. Let it settle for at least 7k km if u drive very2 sedate.
5k km if u are a little agressive.

My 1.3 BLM can easily reach 300km under very hard driving.
Super hard will return 290km.
Relax? 340km is easily reached.
All above figure in 1 full tank.

Not dry, just when the light lit up.
I always reset my trip meter at each refuel cz o dont trust the digital gauge.
I can estimate how far i can go with the current fuel level., 320km is normal figure and full refill is about RM 50.

Right now my best fc is just slightly below 14km/l
All down to the right fuel and controlled aggression smile_tongue.gif

Rm50... Around 25 liter... Yep... Mine as well... That's why I said really shitty... U still have 15 liter in the tank still... Why give false alarm...

On the other hand... Run in theory... After 7k theory... I did not buy it... If high from beginning, try change the air filter or spark plug... Or fully synthetic oil... Worst... Fuel filter.... But u need to pay urself though... Don't think proton will entertain such changes for free... Mine brake shoe, sampai mati Tak nak tukar... Just grind here and there... Proton! Drive to believe!

FYI drum brake thingy, my friend do have same problem with mine, but his car is 3 month old, proton takes responsibility to change the whole set on both side shoes and drum, so far after that, sounds from drum brakes muted.

yes its after grinding job, but the sound still persist, so the next step ,,they change em all.
i think proton owner have to go to its main PESC not the small appointed service .

saga flx.
few issue need to be settled with SC while the car is still in warranty.
1. retight the front suspension bolt if any knocking sound while on first move engagement.
2. rear brake lining and drum replacement.
3. shocks replacement if they are leaking.
4. rear door weather strip replacement if any is over sized.
