Not an expert on fuel grades, but did some research on the net and came up with the following link : http://www.adnoc-dist.ae/eplus/faq.aspx Go through it and specially read point no.9.

Thanks Ali, I'll try it

Any idea what technically happens when we turn on the ECO function ?
-
As per my experience the ECO button doesn't really make any difference inf fuel economy. The only difference it seems to be making is the car losing power. So I never use it.

10.5 to 11 is a very high consumption average for a 2.4ltrs engine. Suggest you have the car checked. My worst in heavy traffic driving is 9.0, but my overall average is 8.0. I calculate another way that about Dhs.100 of fuel gives me roughly 650 to 700 kms.

What average is your car giving ? I also drive Optima 2.4ltrs, and the average fuel consumption is 8 litres per 100kms which I belive is pretty decent for a 2.4ltrs engine.

Optima 2011 Air Conditioning

Actually further on, the A/C stopped cooling properly and they later replaced the compressor under warranty. But KIA certainly need to work harder on their A/C systems. -

It's a machine, can fail any time. Besides it can happen to any make/model. My friend once got an A/C problem in his 2010 Nissan Altima only 6 months after he bought it. -

Thanks Ali, in fact I have given my car today for 30k service and advised them the issue cause I was also faced with lesser cooling in idle. -
The A/C of my 2011 Optima works fine overall, but at times suddenly starts emitting a foul/pungent odour. Has anyone experienced anything like this, please share. Also the A/C doesn't seem to cool as well when the car is at stand still compared to when the car is moving.
