Hi thanks for your reply. i read the user manual when i bought the car and dont recollect reading sprcifically about the type of petrol to use..or it said 90octane was sufficient. results proven with the previous mileage o 13km/l etc..anyways will read it again at the agents they had cleaned the filter, throttle and something else.. anyway i called them and they wanted me to bring the car tomorow that they will run a emission test..will hope for the best, and tks for yr reply

Hi, I have a Perodua Viva elite Ezi (purchased in Dec 2010) and was pumping IOC 90octane fuel from the inception and it was doing 13-14Km/L within Colombo city limits & 17Km/L outstation (low country). My car was also involved in the substandard petrol issue and the entire tank was drained and cleaned by the agents. They informed me that I should pump only laugf 95octane and nothing else, and i have faithfully pumped as instructed. However of recent past, i have noticed that the mileage within Colombo city limits has dropped to 8Km/L & outstation to 10km/L. please advice if there is a relevance between the engine type and the 95 octane petrol? I normally drive within 2000-2500rpm and the car has done just over 8500kms only. Would appreciate your comments / advice on this.
