You need to use one of yr trip computers or odometer.

Fill up to full tank. I usually use the Auto Stop feature.

Reset the trip computer to zero after the fill up.

Now drive as you would normally till the next time you top up.

When you pump to full tank as before (using the Auto Stop), check how much fuel was needed to be topped up. This should be a good approximation of how much fuel you used since the last time you topped up. Call it X litres.

Now check your trip computer. That is the total number of kilometers travelled. Call it Y km.

Your fuel consumption is thus Y/X km/l.

If you don't have a trip computer just note the odometer (total mileage of the car) readings after the first time you fill up, call it Y1 and the odometer reading when you top up, call it Y2.

Kilometers travelled Y = Y2 - Y1

i drove a Getz b4. my goodness... it does drink petrol quite a bit! my personal experience is that the getz drank more petrol than a 1.6l corolla G9 which i drove around.

hey. i believe G9 corolla is the one just before altis. mostly SD something plates. hey heng, the getz you drive is 1.3 or 1.6? i think like that quite tragic man. usually i think people on a tight budget monthly would be the majorty going for cars like hyundai. i mean if they can afford, i believe anyone would rather have a altis or sunny, vios or what. but cannot then settle for getz, matrix, accent or maybe kia rio. money already not enough then comes the drink petrol problem, tragic man. i believe vios or altis, city, civic all these consumption is very good compared to hyundai.

i think its a 1.5? honestly, a car which i had, with really quite a bit of power, and low FC if u don't redline it often, is the old swift GTi. im not sure if the new ignis are similiar. but the corolla G9 also wasn't a heavy drinker.
