What oil you was using?

Now i get around 500-550 km with 16 in. wheels. Premium or super gas gives about the same mileage.
Changing from 14s to 16s made the difference in fuel economy. 1.5 engine too

Now if your second half of the tank finishes faster than the first half then you should get even more mileage if you fill up at half tank.
Can anyone confirm if this is true?

It makes a difference in the distance calculation for the tripmeter too, so you may actually be getting similar fuel mileage.
My 1.5 NZE going on 160,000 kms gives 400 - 500 kms (based on the tripmeter working with 205/50/17 wheels) for the tank with super unleaded. Stock except for K&N filter.

So I have been driving without oil and nothing was wrong with car.
WOW !!!
That's really good gas mileage. I didn't think about that with the trip meter and wheel size. I tried to keep the same rolling diameter but its not exactly the same as the original.
I thought bigger wheels n wider tires were heavier and had more rolling resistance. Will look into that.......... Thanks
