    I bought my ride in 2017 and it’s 2014 Model with 70,000km ODO. After driving few months, I figured the pedal response is getting way smoother and it’s not acting a little bit pushy on ECO mode. No warning Sign, Nothing But the huge impact on Bad Fuel Economy. It’s dropped from 22 km/L to 18 km/L. I swapped a pedal accelerator part and everything’s normal.
    but after 3 days, the new pedal acts the same. I remember last time i figured the same issue when i refuelled High Octane full tank and now it’s the same scenario.
    Any technician / expert would mind helping me in that? Im worried now.
    i attached the replaced pedal part as well
