Foton Toplander

10-12km/l nga ang average ng thunder/tunland ng owners sa au.

Dont believe doe numbers...

The locally manufactured fotons are questionable... i suggest you change your oil.

Thanks for the reply sir StockEngine. I already had my 1st PMS which was after my Quezon trip (1100KM). The casa told me that my computation was not correct, it should be in a controlled environment, traffic has to be factored in, etc. Also they told me that I should observe it since its a fairly new vehicle and it will still adjust, however I don't want to argue with someone who seems to not know what he's doing so I just let it go and follow what they advised. Though I am not really familiar with vehicles that are ECU/ECM driven as my previous cars are either carbureted or Injected but no ECU.

As agreed sa casa, after my PMS I immediately had my gas filled up to full tank and recorded the km trip (1220KM). Once it goes empty, they asked me to go back and see what was the actual consumption. I am now at my 1440KM (about 220KM since my full tank) and I am already pass by the 1/2 tank marker. I guess the built-in computation at the dashboard is somehow accurate (Average Fuel Consumption * 15.1L/100KM).

Is there a shop that can check whether my vehicle is running rich in fuel? I feel that it is blowing too much diesel even if I step very light on the pedal.

I forgot to factor in our heavy almost non moving traffic. The traffic in au is very light compared to our extremely high density traffic.

Which city are you from? Also what is the average speed on your vehicle?

Sitting in traffic really increases fuel consumption...

I'm from Marikina and work at McKinley Hill. I work Graveyard shift so usually I don't experience traffic on my way to work and going home, I sometimes experience it. I understand that traffic consumes a lot, but based on my old pickup which has an old 2.8L 4JB1 engine, my fuel consumption is around 9.5KM/L same driving condition (Been driving it for 5 years). I never was heavy on the pedal, I seldom hit 100KM when the road is clear (Usually its 80KM) and I shift before I hit 2K RPM. This one is really exaggerated, my 70L only lasted me for about 420KM on the trip odometer.

Another thing that I noticed is that every time I hit the pedal to accelerate, whether its a very light tap, the IFC meter (Instant Fuel Consumption) goes crazy-high to about a range of 22-34L/100KM. I don't think that is normal which is why I wanted to have a second opinion outside the casa and have them measure my STFT and LTFT (Short Term and Long Term Fuel Trims).

70l and 420km lng.

Thats defective bro. Start complaining. Hope the lemon law helps if they cant fix it.

Maybe because it is still in break in period. My non Foton SUV started to have decent FC only after it hits 5k km mark and got better after 10k km.

70l yung tank sir di ba sagad? Baka may mali sa computation sir? Unless nung 420kms tuyo na tanke mo...assuming tama computation sobrang lakas nga sa gas. Kahit iassume na may reserve pa na 10l nung nagpagas ka at 420km, 7kmpl pa rin so malakas pa rin.

Yun nga ang concern ko mga boss eh. I already raised the concern to them, kaso they keep on telling me to observe it, observe it, it will adjust, it will normalize... If only there is a shop that can verify that the specs of the ECU/ECM is correct, then I would probably have a peace of mind and follow their advise of observing.

Pero baka nga tama rin sila similar to what sir "boytsiks" mentioned na after his 5KM saka lang nagkaroon ng decent fuel consumption and nag normalize after 10KM, kaso parang medyo matagal for me to wait for it until maka 10K ako and i-consider na nila as error in my driving or worst sabihin sa akin "dapat nag reklamo po kayo nung bago pa lang yung sasakyan"....

Sir "boytsiks", ano po pala yung SUV nyo?

Meron na palang "Lemon Law" dito sa atin, thanks for the info sir StockEngine!
