Perodua Viva - Fuel Consumption

FUEL CONSUMPTION of a car or vehicle now is the big issue for us to take into account especially when you want to buy a car. Here we would like to generate a new and genuine database about your car fuel consumption (datapenggunaan minyak kereta) by sharing info of fuel consumption regarding each car that you have used and are using now. We just hope all info here are totally true and calculated using a standardized format on how to calculate fuel consumption.

Basically there are two type of how you calculate your FC (cara kira penggunaan minyak) which is by filling up to full tank or filling when the fuel warning light illuminate.

For 1st way of calculating fuel consumption by filling up to full tank is more accurate and easy by filling your car with full of petrol. Just tell the petrol station staff to fill up “full tank” and fill it up until the pump stop. Then set the kilometer trip meter (meter jarak perjalanan) to zero and start your journey. Then after 30 or 50km, go to fill up your car again until full tank. The amount of RM or litre that you fill the second time is the fuel consumption of your car when you travel 30 or 50km.

Then try to calculate like this. For example you have travel 50 km and you pump up RM10 of 5.555 litre petrol in your car with fuel until full tank on 2nd time. It means that you have used 5.555 litre petrol in 50km. Then lets get the standard measurement of fuel consumption in km/litre. Just doing a division of 50km divide 5.555litre which will show you thefuel consumption of 9km/liter. Try to do the same way on how to calculate the FC until you get the average FC (fuel consumption)

The 2nd way to calculate fuel consumption is by filling up fuel when the fuel warning light illuminate. I always use this way because you will get the most fuel efficient fuel consumption due to less weight of fuel pumped in your tank. How to do that? It is simple. Just reset the kilometer trip meter (meter jarak perjalanan) to zero whenever your fuel warning lights illuminate. To get more accurate value, try to travel around 5km more to see if the light is off or not. If the light is still illuminate means it really have reached the minimum level. If it is not illuminate, travel more again until the light illuminate for the 2nd time and reset the trip meter to zero. Then go to petrol station pump and fill up around RM10 which is 5.555litre (fuel price RM1.80/litre) . Then travel anywhere until the warning lights illuminate and look at the trip meter will show you how many kilometer you can go with RM10. 

Then do the calculation like the first way. To get the km/litre, just take the reading of your trip meter for example 50km divide by 5.555litre. To get the cent/km or RM/KM, just divide RM10 with 50km which will show you the result of fuel consumption of RM0.20/kilometer.
