I own a Daihatsu Move, with a JB-DET engine. 660cc DOHC 4 cylinder making not much power, but the turbo makes it fun. I only get about 13.3 kmpl, but most of my driving is less than 45 mph, with stoplights every 1/2 mile or so. Can't complain. It's a step up from the AZ Wagon I had as far as comfort, but a .7 kmpl step down in fuel consumption. Hope to get it up to the 14's with some engine and fuel system cleaning. Boost gauge, MBC, and water injection kit are coming, and new speakers, and head unit are already in. Car needs tires and an alignment pretty bad. I hope they will make a big difference in the consumption.
