do lemme kno if u do manage to improve the FE
p.s wat year is ur matiz?? i got a 2001 model.
thanks for ur concern...my matiz iz also 2001 model. I think ur still lucky to get 9-10 kmpl WITH A/C - mine gives 8-10 kmpl without A/C. I have tried everything possible now the only option left is to start driving my bike and let the car be a showpiece.

Like I mentioned, the car's been serviced properly, all the filters changes, timing belt set, rpm sensor checked, pick up decreased a bit (didn't help increase FE), oils changes, plugs changes, exhausts cleaned, injectors replaced, tyre pressure checked....I cannot think of anything else ? please suggest something that could be done to increase FE a bit.
