hyundai fuel consumption

[ABV9750]

when talking about korean made car, everybody will immediately pop up a higher fuel comsume.when i'm asking a few hyundai friends, they disagree.newest hyundai car are towards economical set up with fuzzy logic.e.g latest accent probably use less fuel than 1.5 proton. 1.6 matrix is saver than other mini mpv.
can we share your ride fuel consumption?may be we could take this as a reference in future selection.
- my friends 96 accent auto got rm10=60km city/80km hiway
- my 96 1.6 elantra auto got rm10=45km city/80km hiway (1.6 wira even worst)
- my friends 01 1.8 elantra auto got rm10=40km city/70km hiway
- my friends 1.6 matrix auto got m10=70km city/90km hiway (very good)
- my friends 1.6Getz auto got rm10=60km city/80km hiway
- my supplier 02 sonata auto got rm10=40km city/70km hiway
- my fiends trajet 01 auto is the worst, rm10=30km city/50km hiway

all are auto tranny and estimate base on normal driving.not a heavy footer.
how about manual tranny?? should have better fuel saver.

Scoupe manual??how much you get? how about Atoz? i heard it is more saver than kenari?

please share..TQ.

Wah!!!! Why they save so much fuel one?? My 05 accent gives me bout RM10 = 47km (city driving) and 52km for highway. Auto tranny also. Car body damn heavy while engine is a lil underpower for it.

Atos FC is heavily depends on the driver weight. For lady with lighter weight will have good FC, but bad FC for heavy dude like me. It's all because of the 1.1 engine need more fuel + Power to carry me. Muahaha

My Coupe 1.8A Gen2 can only fetch me around 8-9km/ltr for City Driving.

 

[BlackSamurai]

what is inside the tiburon? beta 1.8L o 2.0L?
if you get a 580km for 55L, thats mean your rm10=54.92km.not bad but may be can improve more since you drive a manual tranny.somemore your power to weight is higher.

 

[ABV9750]

may be you're not well practise of auto drive habit.does you car has the normal/eco button? OD?i'd practise a simple drive habit especially when drive in massive traffic by OFF the OD and use normal(power) button.this is to move the car easily rather than tried out carry the weight using eco mode.when achieve long staight clear road,ON OD back and if you're in elax driving (picnic?),use ECO button..
each time you wanna overtake, release the pedal and press half to enable the suitable lower gear to accelerate. i just asking a friends about his 05 accent and he claim getting a rm10=70km in city while 90km at hiway.

BETA 1.8L. yah, that's due to heavy driver weight. :X-:

oh..to other forumers. I driving Tibby 1.8l manual with some medium mod and now running on 17" wheeler.

what i did on my car is
lighten pulley
ecu tune up
fuel pressure regulator
Fujitsubo muffler
Straight through spinning type cat back replacement
throttle body mod (quicker respond)
DIY intake mod
Earth cabling
Aftermarket spark plug cable

I believe the above will determine hows my car fuel consumption.

[Daniel Lee]

Wow, really very clean.
Ace, where do you get the job done?
Any advice on how to keep our engine bay clean?...hehehe

 

[Ace]

hey...I got a shock!! for the moment I didn't recall putting any picture of my car leh. There is some changes already lah BS. Need to update the pics sometime soon. hehe The thing you were asking is the SARD fuel pressure regulator. I was quite lucky that I got an imported version of coupe where the ecu happens to allow slight adjustment and fully on race tune settings. Thats why I manages to achieve 216Km/h on highway all the way red lining at 7000RPM fifth gear. Hitting the rev limiter and keep boucing back and forth the niddle. :_: But, I doubt so now that I have 17". will try it again one day to find out.

Recently I change a new set of MF battery and re-install new power cable and fuse for my sound system. Now my engine bay even more compact, having hard time cleaning it. I completely change my whole set of sound system. The old ones migrate to my Satria hehe..

For our forummers friend. Its quite easy to maintain a clean engine. If your engine is very dirty. Firstly make sure you find a reputable shop that are specialise in cleaning engine. After that, you can wax a bit here and there. For the remaining time to time, you just have to wipe with damp cloth will do.

[BlackSamurai]

i suspect Ace clean the engine bay himself. He even have his own polishing tool set. RESPECT!

 

[Daniel Lee]

Ace, thanks for the cleaning method you mentioned.

 

[BlackSamurai]

Ace, if you not feeling comfortable with all the pic, i can remove it.

friend, of course lah different those photo I took at 2004 leh...
