Or we can also go on for the TT but make it a mini TT instead, for anyone who wishes to collect their air filter & spark plugs.. Then we make another mega TT again o.o

Brag my ride? No lah.. I very the humble wan lah.. There's nothing much about my ride aso..

LoL... No money leh.. Haha.. Eh u din answer my question.. Will u be in W.M/TBR anytime soon?

Hmm? 6 litre 20-30 km? average about what, 3 litre per 10 kms?

Are u very very heavy footed?

First of all, I must admit that PE is quite a fuel guzzler compared to others. But it's not to the extent of 3L/10kms. I agree with ur fren that new car would be thirstier for a while. But here's the question, how did u know that u used up to 6 litres for 20-30 kms?

Reflashing ECU also helps... I think my car need to service soon d. Getting very sluggish.

Erm, u might not know this but the needle goes down faster after the first two bars. And even when it tips Empty, ur car can still go on for like 50-60 kms because of the reserve tank.

Do u have that annoying buzzing sound from the air cond vent on driver side? If yes, it gives u another reason to reflash ur ECU.
Reflashing ECU is free if done at Proton SC. My ECU was reflashed when my car was 1 week old. Provided me with better engine response, lower fuel consumption & eliminated the buzzing noise.

The idea of reflashing ECU is very general, actually. There's nothing wrong with reflashing ECU. It's just like reformatting ur thumbdrive. Many Personarians here already reflashed their ECU. U can do it for totally no reason at all. Ok, maybe not without a reason. Maybe with 1 reason in mind: to see the difference before & after u reflash it.

Recommended.

P.S; oh, and our tank is 40 litres, not 50. The extra 10L reserve tank only kicks in after ur needle hit E.

Just get into ur car, start the engine & ride it around. After it's all warmed up, find & stop at somewhere quiet, off the radio or anything else but don't switch off the engine & try to observe the noise. I'm pretty sure u'll notice that the buzzing sound is breaking the silence in ur car if ur car has it. U don't have to switch the air cond on to notice the noise. It's there whether the air cond is on or off because the ECU is located right under the driver side air cond vent. The noise is emitted from the ECU, not the aircond, but it comes out THROUGH the air cond vent.

LoL. Or another simpler way is to use the fuel calculator on ur meter. If u notice there are 2 buttons on ur meter, one on the left one on the right. Fiddle around with it until u see x.xL/100KM. That's the fuel calculator.

Or, if u're not a techy guy, u can do as u said. Fill as full as u can, then drive until half tank, & calculate how much petrol u used.

Added on January 12, 2011, 4:11 pmWhere are u stayin? I recommend u go straight to CoSE though. But I've heard reviews that Serdang SC is not bad, so u might wanna give it a try. Not so sure if they offer ECU reflash because I've never been there.

OK. Then I suppose the serdang one is nearer to u?

If that's how u drive then u have nobody to blame but urself when ur FC increase like mad...

Nice. Then perhaps saddient also can join us? We can have it at Rampai Business Park...

I mean, if u drive like him in the movie.. Gerenti FC suffer...

I wouldn't want a GTR. Erm, maybe I do, but I don't want the heavy FC that comes with it. My, that'll be impossible isnt it?

Then might as well just continue driving my persona, rite? I find it more dignifying to drive a Persona than a GTT.

These kind of info must dig from the ppl from CoSE la.. Got once I asked them how come my new car with needle at E cannot pump 50L. Oni can pump 38L plus. Then one mechanic ask me. "Ur needle at E rite? Then how u managed to drive ur car to petrol station to pump petrol? If u dare to drive, u can continue to drive for another 100 km or so before ur car engine choke & dies off." Then I asked him, "Then what's the point the needle shows E when I can still drive so far?" Mechanic answered, "Malaysians, most of the time they wouldn't pump petrol until the very last drop of petrol in their tank finishes. In a way, u might say that it's a design flaw, but u can also say that the reserve tank helps prepare the driver for a good 100kms or so till the next petrol station.".

Not quite sure about other cars tho, but thats the case with Persona. My gf's saga when the bar is blinking can oni pump about 34 plus to 35L.

That is the exact same reply I gave the mechanic, except that it's in malay. "Oh, itu macam ka..."

This post has been edited by xandras: Jan 12 2011, 10:21 PM

LoL... 11.0/100KM is pretty normal for a new car.. Persona's FC is around 10L/100KM, depending on driving styles..

Maybe u have to adjust & suit urself to the driving style first.. And drive a bit more until ur FC averages out..

11.0 is pretty high for a manual if u ask me. I'm driving an auto, quite heavy footed but doing around 10.8-11.2L/100KM.. Mostly city drives..

Let go of ur accelerator like 1-2 seconds before stepping on the clutch & engaging into the next gear.. It helps save plenty of petrol.. Changing gear smoothly affects ur petrol consumption..

LoL.. Of course increase la.. Ur auto cruise only sets ur car to be travelling at a certain speed constantly.. When u step on pedal or brakes it will still increase or decrease speed accordingly..

Jz imagine if u're auto cruising n there's a situation where u need to emergency brake but ur auto cruise is on n u can't brake. Bammm...
