Indonesia fuel-saving guide for automatic cars and Yamaha Grand Filano hybrid

Rising fuel prices in Indonesia have prompted drivers of automatic‑transmission cars to adopt fuel‑saving practices. Recommended measures include checking vehicle condition, maintaining proper tire pressure, avoiding excessive loads, applying the accelerator gradually, keeping engine speed around 2,000‑2,500 RPM, shifting to neutral during short stops, turning off the engine for prolonged idling, using engine braking, limiting air‑conditioner use, driving smoothly, and servicing the vehicle regularly.

Yamaha has launched the Grand Filano Hybrid scooter, featuring a 125 cc Blue Core Hybrid engine and an Electric Power Assist Start system. Official tests under the World Motorcycle Test Cycle reported a fuel consumption of 60.2 km per litre. The scooter also incorporates a Stop & Start system that automatically shuts off the engine at traffic lights, precise fuel‑injection control, and reduced internal friction technology to maintain performance while improving efficiency. Real‑world mileage may vary with riding style, road conditions, load and maintenance.
