Just drove back from Ipoh way back to JB...

Here the FC.

From JB to Ipoh, 518km, RM57 (Petronas RON95) 25% old route, 75% Highway.

From Ipoh to JB, 538km, RM59 (Shell RON95) 25% old route, 75% highway.

Speed maintained at 90-100km/h in highway, only 10s 140km/h speeding

So the FC is around 11cents/KM, 6.1L/KM, 16.4KM/L...quite satisfy with the result actually, even better than advertised.

BTW, mine is 1.3 Manual B-Line.

So far my average FC record was 13-14cents/KM in daily usage, i every day drive to work, travel ~45km/day, combine travel time ~1 hour with 25 minutes traffic jam.

I don't think only me know BLM will have good FC on 90-100km/h, i also shock he came out of those comment.

Wakao...That day i drove back my new car, my father came out with this question: will your BLM opened/closed if others remote their car...and i said it won't happened forever...but now...

I no dare to put valuable stuff inside my car, not just because scare the thing kena curi, if they break the windows, i think the money to repair are more than the stuff itself...

Usually can get it within 3 weeks...

No way.

Bro, you are now buy car, not buy sayur at pasar. The fastest i heard still have to wait 1 week+...

Of course you pay in cash, but what he mean was you pay TOTAL price on the spot, are you ready? if yes you can try ask dealer.

If you have to apply loan from bank (even you pay a lot of downpayment), you still have to wait.

Bro, just go to ask the proton edar dealer, because you ask here adi consumed you 2 days...

Hmm, let's talk about some technical stuff here.

I noticed when the aircon kick in, the car will 'choke' abit especially in 1-3rd gear if you hold the pedal. Even at 90km/h @ 5th gear also can feel slightly. I also noticed the car front lamp will dim at the moment the aircon kick in when the car is in idle speed. From that phenomena, i suspect the electric system of the car is not stable when the aircon is on (Maybe insufficient alternator power or cheap battery).

Do you guys think change to the better battery can solve the problem? Not really urgent matter or serious problem, but just feel uncomfortable when i stuck in traffic jam and have to use 1-3rd gear often. Hmm, this is what i suspect, just kindly share your knowledge if you wish and ignore my question if you lazy to share.

Granite grey, what a good choice (mine is this colour)... but I think your area not only 1 Proton Edar rite?

Yes i can sure about that..

Honestly, the grey of Saga is abit 'dark' and show some 'purple' in different light condition, i think the 'granite' in front of the 'grey' told the difference adi.

I think you looking at this kind of 'grey'...

Hehe, i guess this one is silver Saga in poor lightning condition or silver Saga shoot with miscalibrated camera...

Both color are different, and both have the same characteristic, which is 'dark' and shows different colours in different lightning condition.

My car only 5 weeks and is granite grey....

I expect the ECU would work together with the aircon, when the compressor kicking, the ECU just control and inject a bit more fuel so the jerk can be minimized. My father's old school 2.0L Toyota Corona just did that automatically. But seems like not in our Saga.

As you can see, the blinjal colour is quite 'grey' in the 1st pic, but if you see it near, you will notice it's purple.

Same like granite grey, it will show different colour in different distance and lightning condition, and it will show abit purplish, but not as purplish as the blinjal Saga la..

BTW, i don have camera, can't show you...
