just got the car last month and already had the first service....
not really sure wat the problem with the FC... first tank got only 285km before the the light its up (pure town drive).
then Kuantan to KL and back on 950km with on 85 litre of fuel. So it not that low also.
When cruising in highway, the meter shown 6 - 6.9km/l, but on pure town drive, its 14 - 15km/l.
The DTE always not rite. Now after 2200km on the ODO, my last few days Full tank,
now have travel 155km, but its already dip just below HALFTANK, DTE still have 244km, in which i think i cannot
achieve. So it reach 320km on yellow light, then its improving. But if its not, then fellow FORTE user, pls
guide me.... its because of engine problem or there are leakage in feul tank?, or its the filter ???

mine its 1.6 SX....

But Kuantan to KL and KL back to Kuantan is just 275+275km = 550km wor... not 950km wor...

But pure town drive FC is indeed high... mine is 11.5-12.5L/100km.

Same 1.6SX.

Mind tell me your driving behavior. Do you often rev the car hard above 3000rpm all the time. Is yours 4speed or 6speed gearbox? I could get 14km/L on highway if cruising on smoothly. With few hard rev for fun and overtaking, I get 13km/L.

"When cruising in highway, the meter shown 6 - 6.9km/l, but on pure town drive, its 14 - 15km/l."
>> Is this in km/L or L/100km? Looks like L/100km to me as it is impossible to get 14km/L on pure town drive.

Hi, new owner here. Just got my 2.0 last saturday. FC shows 11.3l/100km. Driving mostly short stops and occasional fast acceleration to test the power of the 2.0. Me now smiling from ear to ear. First quarter tank can reach 120km. Now reaching half tank and distance is about 200km.
