What is your latest rate ?L/100km in this hot summer when using ECON?
Mine is 13-14L/100km in urban with Air Con at "LO & low fan mode". Do you think it is normal?

When you are driving steadily, you will find that the rpm will move higher after turning on "ECON button".

大家會否長着"ECON"制? MANUAL話會均衡耗油, 但我覺加油反應慢同冇力,所以上HIGHWAY後才開

ocbc

Mine is RK1. If you keep the "Econ" button on, the car does not accelerate with power. I am still consuming 16+lit/100km

ocbc

For my RK1 without change of rim, still using 16+, I think the reason is setting AIR CON as "LO" with 1 level of fan speed. Any suggestions of the setting of "AIR CON"? 25C with high fans?  or even 28C?

ocbc

你長期set 係LO level係有問題wor，除非你架車A/C 狀態不足，唔能夠降低車箱温度，否則應該好凍喎，大熱天時架車曬到慶恰恰，我都係調較22度auto，行咗一輪後，車箱温度降返低，我通常較返23度auto就足夠，夜晚行 ...

I always drive in urban areas and sometimes with "3" highway with no steep Mountain like TKO and mid-level areas.
I will try to reset the air con temp to "22-25" with 1-3 levels of fans, then see the result. THanks

My RK1 @ 7.5L/100km with 15" original wheel. After changing to 16" RK5 wheel, the average is around 8.5L/100km.....90% highway, always ECO and A/C Lo. It seems quite economical.

plt Hing, Do you always keep the "ECON" button on? or use it when driving in highway? or even never use? My RK1 nearly consumes double of your fuels....

ocbc

When I go back to DCH for first service, I will try to bring 0W20 (if find) or 5W30 oil. Then turn air con to "22" with 2-3 levels fans. See any good result?
BTW, I will have "rear wing"  and foglight with "Ball Gor" in 2 weeks, I think it will not let me consume more fuels.....

ocbc

don't bring in 0w20, DCH won't put it in for you.

Noted. Can I bring my own oil filter? Is the filter having big different performance?
Do DCH charge it at sky high price? Xie Xie

ocbc

if only $10 for the screw ok la.

I bought the washer from the part store already charge for $5.

And I bought the screw + washer for my Mini which cost me $38.

You all let me learn many lessons.
Filter screw & washer are different parts? Any Ching can leave DCH without charges after first service?

My RK1 has been running for 1800 km, I think I may consider to keep the old screw and washer. Let me try to walk out without charges and no service plan

Aliens, I dont want to cancel la as I have time to do this service in my long vacation. I will bring my own oil, filter and screw/washer.

ocbc

Before engine oil change, I have record 17.6/100km. Then I try to adjust Air Con to 24C with my golden right foots and long journey, then it is back to 13.2/100km.
Although I have 8 passengers, the result is not bad.
