Halos 1.5k palang kasi din odo ko. Sana mag improve habang tumataas pa mileage.

Yes Sir mag iimprove yan, have the same problem s fuel consumption -from 0kms to 2000+kms ODO, now around 5k+ odo happy with my FC! imagine 3+hours stuck in a rush hour traffic to travel only 40kms 9.1kms/L consumption ko, pero pag puro short distance travel at puro subdivision ako (hatid sundo sa mga kids 4kms only) Fc ko bagsak sa 5-7kms/L

hi ive done this already and they are still assesing daw kasi baka mamya sakin lang daw may ganitong problem ISOLATED lang daw ba,i told them to visit this site kasi yun mga buyer ng mga new car dito muna kumunsulta bago bumili,i even called COLUMBIAN MOTORS maybe yun mga owner dito ng rio5 need to call this number and sabihin nyo na pare-pareho tayo ng problem sa fc so they will do something about it,heres the number look for arnel technician yan ng kia philippines 3105843 para gawan na nila ng paraan at tawagan ang mga KOREANO

hi jpabuel2003 ask ko lang ano ride mo,have you tried computing your fc manually,hindi kasi accurate yun nasa cluster may difference na 1liter

KIA RIO 2012 EX manual, 6speed, sedan. yes sir my computations are all manual, yung sa inst. cluster minsan kasi 1.5L pa difference eh. yung instant fuel consumption lang ang lagi kong tinitingan, binago ko driving habits ko, before shifting ko 1-1.5k sa tach pero di sya economical, i learned that shifting 2k-2.5k gives me the best FC. lagi pa kami magkasama ni misis sa byahe kya not bad ang 9.1kms/L.

Nagemail ako sa Kia.com mismo.. so sa tingin ko umabot to sa Korea.. After few days, tumawag yung Tech Manager ng CAC sa akin.. Sabi niya willing sila samahan ako kapag magpapaFC test ako.. So if ever magkikita kami sa Kia Global City to do the testing. Hindi ko lang alam kung kelan pa ako pwede.

ECU update for Hatch = Wala kasi bago pa lumabas sa dealer yung unit.. latest version na daw nakalagay

As for the gas type, no choice talaga kundi mag 97 octane or higher tayo para hindi mag engine knock. Yan ang sabi sa akin. Over rated kasi yung gas natin dito.

Still observing my FC, kaka1st PMS ko lang kasi nung Monday.

Please indicate kung ano ride niyo kapag nagsasabi ng FC kasi nakakalito... Salamat

Seaoil Extreme 97, diba ka-presyo lang ng XCS yun pero 97 octane?

**c_cube** · August 23rd, 2012 06:13 PM

gamit ko either caltex gold or petron xcs lang

kasi 95 octane naman min rating ng 1.4 gamma

hindi kelangan mag 97 or higher. mahal na sobra unless nga pag seaoil pero kung sa shell at petron, dibali nalang hahaha!

No engine knock naman ako sa Gold at XCS nun nagamit ko.
