I just joined the ranks of Kei car owners with a Suzuki based Hyundai Atoz Prime. Sadly though, I am only touching 35 mpg US with it. It runs perfectly, timing is spot on, no check engine lights, and all the maintenance is done. I was hoping for better since it has no power steering, or A/C, but it is an automatic w/o tq converter lockup. Apparently the manual version is only rated at 38 mpg US so I've been told that I should be happy...
Anyway, I know the modding principles are the same with most cars, but I am wondering from other Kei car owners what mods gave the most benefit in fuel economy first so I can start from there.
Currently the car is bone stock (has no power steering, no A/C as mentioned), a new air filter, plugs, wires, timing belt, cam/crank seals, runs semi synthetic oil 15W-40 and....that's it.
If anyone has any tips, I'd be happy to hear from you fellow Kei car owners. I love the thing but am a little disappointed with the mileage.
THanks!
