QUOTE(jovial @ Jul 4 2005, 01:07 PM) dangerous brother... rm 30 to and fro..sorry forget to mention...rm15 one way...but i kept my speed constant and it was clocked from jj ipoh to gurney plaza and frosuddenly a car sweve onto your lane...habis..  30 ringgit to and fro or just one way? that's pretty bad mileage if just one way. these cars run best at 80kmh... if u go above 110 the fuel consumption increases dramatically due to air resistance.  |

adding intercooler will definitely void the warranty becoz it requires the retuning of the ecu...this car is good enough already..bigger capacity means higher fuel consumption and higher roadtaxes....at this rate of increasing fuel prices, it won't be long before diesel hits rm1.80 per litre

we should put a petition to the govt to reduce roadtax la...since the rise of diesel they should at least reimburse us on the road tax since our green engine is very low pollution

QUOTE(jovial @ Aug 10 2005, 09:44 AM) Which Ranger are you driving? Old or new model? I can't put that much diesel into my car! you know la we malaysians must fight for cheaper this and that...if menang also got good benefits for all..hehehe...if cannot win also must make some noise so that the buggers won't be too comfortable rising fuel prices...rite now i cannot fill rm10 diesel already whereas i was able to go about 100+ km with that...sabah + sarawak don't enjoy the amount of paved roads and highway that we do...that's why their roadtax is cheaper. I suppose you can go to cameron highlands to register your car. You only pay 10% road tax and but your car cannot go out of camerons. Another way is to register your car under company. A lot less road-tax but you need to paint your company name beside the car and you need to go Puspakom to check car every year or 6 months. Petrol road tax isn't that much cheaper. I think a Pajero 2.6 pays about 1.3k road tax. Re to parking: Die die also will kena scratch cause this is m'sia after all. The standard car park size is shorter than our 4x4 twincabs. Even the guy trying to park beside you will scratch you. I kena so many times until I also sian to look at my own car. But then, the more scratched and dirty my car is, the more ppl will give way to me. muahaha. the new hilux is damn big and long...slightly shorter than stavic but its hard reversing in a narrow alley... jovial..wanna go yamcha sometime?.. |
