FC is very important leh, else can buy 3.0litre car already

LOL! Currently have half tank left. I reckon that I can go for another 180km on one more bar before needing to refuel since I try not to let the tank go below 1/4 as it might put me in a bad situation if I suddenly get caught in a jam.

I have a benchmark distance for my tank meter to shape my driving habits. My average distance per day is roughly 60km, with a variance of 5km over and under the average. That gives me a good feel of what I need to do to meet the base and standard benchmark.

From full tank to 3/4, I need to clock a minimum 150km. From 3/4 to 1/2 must have another minimum 150km. From 1/2 to 1/4, I need around 180km. That gives me a 480km base distance on 31.5L (42L*3/4). Base on trend, I usually get around 490km-500km which is my standard distance and hence, standard benchmark (i.e. clocking somewhere in between is good enough).

Of course, that benchmark is based on Esso RON 95 and now I'm on Shell RON 95 (due to an ongoing project on testing various fuel and its impact on power and FC). I believe that there will be difference in the benchmark using Shell vs Esso's but I need more refills to establish that. The current tank has 5.658L of Esso fuel, hence I need to further dilute the Esso mix before re-establishing the standards. And since it's Puasa time, the traffic is less after I leave the office. That also skews my FC favorably which might not give me a true picture of the fuel's performance.

I'm aware that Esso and Mobil are both the same but I prefer to keep the names separate.

The presence of Mobil in the table is kinda redundant anyway.

gahpadu, what speaker sets did you change to?

bug, you?

i sat in a friend's fofi and i think that the stock speakers are really good already

I change front speaker to component set . Stock speaker really make me and my wife wanted to just off the stereo.

Branded ones?

not branded one , Helix DB only..my budget very low

hehe.. but still an upgrade

fofi stock speaker is only good on low volume and if you try to turn it louder then it's terrible but i've yet to mod my speaker bcoz it's not my 1st priority........ my advise to you if you wanna mod the speaker for fofi juz change the 6" speaker and remain the tweeter.

Bug, if i wanna respray my rims, how much would it cost?

normally is abt rm200 for 4 rims but spraying is not permanent and the paint can peel off by stone chips. so, if you want best result then you got to go for power coating and the cost is abt rm500 for 4 rims.
