AmDisGood,
That's really amazing,
My Optra 1.8 performance are as follow :

Current Mileage : 1,764KM ( ~ almost one month )

1st fill up (by Dealer) : 400KM / RM64.45 (Petronas : Quiet, less power)
2nd fill up : 409.5KM / RM62.48 (ESSO : Slightly noisy,power)
3rd : 453.1KM / RM69.13 (Shell : Noisy,smooth & power)
4th : 433.0KM / RM65.52 (Petronas :noisy when speedup)

any comment ?

ChevyYxY, don't worry, your car still new, the FC will improve after a
while. My Optra 1.6 current milleage is around 25,000km, already 7 months.
I use Mobil/Esso always, feel like it give me more power.

Yes, I have no complaints on the highway's fuel comsumptions... but if u
can do it lesser thn 120, then will be good, if do it more then 120, fuel
comsumption will be increase...
i did mine to penang, is about 9sen or less /km, but if about 120-130kmh,
will be around 10+sen /km.

Just collect my Optra 1.6 Auto > I kind of agree with you but i think
that we should run in 1km n service the car first and then monitor it
again. But for the time being I ve been mixing my petrol ($23 shell V-
power & bal Caltex 95) and the engine is smooth, quieter and you can feel
more power. Well as i collected my on the first day, I went ahead to
enhance my car, wow the car is fast, up the slope no problem n not dragy.
and the engne just sound like my 2001 corolla .

I ve enhance my car with some stuff and it prove that it is fuel saving,
no problem going the slope or stress, power for auto car - good, engine
noise quieter n smooth. I'm also mix my petrol S$25 Shell V-Power and
Balance Caltex 95, try this guys you will like the performance.

Thanks

When come to FC ,
- Just relax and be like ownself
- ensure good tyre pressure (best 220-240 Kpa)
- use less air con
- be light footed
- avoid jam
- carry less weight (possible driver and passengers must go on diet)

And let the Optra 1.6`s VGIS engine(VVTI equivalent) do the rest for
you......

I understand Optra lose out a bit to Jap cars on weight/FC/pickup is due
to it`s heavy insulated and the lotus tuned suspension/chassis .
