Yeah.....agree with cheahcl. If I'm not mistaken, that's around 25mpg. For
city driving, it's pretty impressive. Did you make any mod to your car?

I think your 940 must be using super thin synthetic oil to achieve that
kinda figure...plus you are also a light footed driver.

Maybe also..
-the meter is faulty
-you engine is actually a Sunny 130y
-half of the week the 940 is towed to the workshop..that's why so jimat
petrol for a full tank.
-The driver is super thin?. Less weight for the car to push mah...

anandkl,

Your FC is better than mine 940 GL Soft Turbo, 500KM for RM88. When I
bought my 940 GL 3 months ago, the FC was RM110 for 500KM.
I have done some modif :
1. Increase 3 psi stock boost pressure to 7 psi,
2. Change stock spark plug to Iridium Volker Spark Plug (6VX-11),
3. Change stock cable plug to 9.5 mm cable plug,
4. Change stock air filter to K&N air filter.
