Kia Picanto Increase Fuel Average Solution Here

Most people think that KIA comes with a bad Fuel Average, However, I disagree. I have said this before it all depends on how you drive your car and how much you know about your car.

The Main Problem isn’t a problem actually, just because we don’t understand something we assume it is faulty and it is the company’s fault.
The ECO Mode of KIA is different than the average car here in Pakistan. People are used to the ECO idle mode in which the car engine is off when it is stopped and with a slight pressure on the pedal it starts.

This Mode saves fuel in Japanese cars and Pakistanis are used to it however they don’t understand it.
Because Kia is a Korean company its ECO mode is different than the Japanese one.

How ECO Mode of KIA Picanto Works?

The Eco Mode of Kia Picanto Latches to a certain speed with 2000 RPMS and
when you try to speed up the car in order to take overtake, there will be resistance to break that ECO-maintained speed.
When the pedal is pressed fuel is dispensed in order to break the latch of ECO Mode.

Because of this ECO mode, Kia Picanto is giving a bad fuel average. However, there is a solution to this problem.

You have to drive a little bit differently. All you have to do is turn off the ECO Mode and the AC. After that just maintain the 2000RPM by keeping light food on the accelerator and trying to maintain the speed at 60KMPH.
You will notice that the fuel average has been increased. You will start getting 17 to 18 KMPL.

To be honest thanks for sharing, This is for those who like KIA instead of another car.

But Personally, I would avoid going through all this hassle and just buy a car that has a good fuel average.
