I just received delivery of my new Toyota Vios.
After 2 weeks's driving within PJ, I realise a full tank is giving me mileage of less than 300km.
Is this normal? I was led to believe the performance should be very much better than this.
Appreciate advise, thanks in advance

1. u r staying in a city. u spend a lot of times in traffic jams, doing 700rpm but car is not moving. should buy a prius C, because in traffic jam the engine is not running most of times (only to recharge battery).
drive the car to penang, or kuantan at reasonable spped - and the car will gives the better FC.
2. the car is still very new. engine is somehow 'tight'. note the FC will change at 10,000km compare to now and may likely change again at 20,000km as the engine has run in nicely.
3. like any car, prevent sudden acceleration and abrupt braking (bcoz u need to accelerate again). i mean, in traffic crawl, why u need to accelerate strong? so that ppl wont cut in front of you?
* here is a tip. every time u refill, compare the litres to your distance travelled (reset tripmeter).
say, u filled in 38 litres for 380km - this equals to 10km per every litre.
vios can do better than that though. a realistic target is 15km/L. prius C gets about 22km/L
