Hello there..have anyone came across with this issue...?? Low fuel alarm sounded with yellow led lit...then immediately i went to petrol station for refueling with only RM10 purchase. When finished, the alarm stays there and fuel meter does not show any increase at all. Again..i top up another RM10 and still the same. Finally..i filled RM20 and the fuel meter shoot up amazingly fast. Kind of weird...i experimented this twice..seems like RM10 petrol the car does not "layan" at all...minimum RM20 is ok.. Other than that...the remaining range on multi information display is not really correct at all...sometime it reduce very fast..ie..the car moves 1 km but the range deducted 2km.. |

QUOTE(mrsafwan @ Sep 27 2011, 11:17 AM) i agree. i have no qualms with ron95. my concern is my IMA. going uphill going on charge, going downhill also on charging. my ima battery end up full lehh..im gonna ask the service centre to have a look. Thank you for calculating that for me by the way, regarding ron95 and 97, i have 2 friend using insight and RON95 (both of em). here are simple stat from their fuelly.com data: (a) their consumption is 6.0L/100km and 5.0L/100 km respectively, while my car is 4.7L/100km (RON97). (b) cost per km is 9.6cents/km and 11.17 cents/km respectively while my car hovers at 13.1cents/km (RON97). © for the same 3,000km (average travelling per month) basis, they will consume 150litres of fuel (5.0L/100km), 180litres of fuel (6.L/100km) while my car will only consume 141litres of fuel (4.7litre/100km) RON97. (d) their average cost (based on 3,000km distance) would be RM285 (5.0litre/100km), RM342 (6.0litre/100km) respectively while i will fork out RM395 (4.7litre/100km). in conclusion : (a) ron97 gives slightly better mileage (4.7litre/100km) vs 5.0litre/100km. (b) since ron97 costs RM2.80/litre, the average cost per km is at 2cents/km extra than RON95. if RON97 is priced at slightly RM2.50/litre i guess RON97 its worthwhile to use. © for the same 3000km basis, RON97 will have to fork out extra RM50 for the same mileage, consider the extra RM50 for better acceleration and cleaner and smoother engine. will i use ron97 again? i guess, weighing on the extra cost and the benefit it offers, i will definitely use ron97 for a cleaner and smoother engine in the long run. all these are facts, compiled via fuelly.com. not some advert feel good feelings. 5.0L/100km (http://www.fuelly.com/driver/insectisight) 6.0L/100km (http://www.fuelly.com/driver/sheen86) and my fuelly (http://www.fuelly.com/driver/dynoblue/insight) feel free to discuss. thanks. QUOTE(psyeo @ Sep 27 2011, 10:08 PM) Lol cannot compare to mine la,I'm a bad benchmark, my driving style/condition not the best for FC. My home to office less than 2km with 2 traffic light and 3 junctions. Thus very low speed travel <40km/h and start stop condition. While on highway/longer travel distance sometimes I FLOOR the accelerator for speed of more than 160km/h or when accelerating/overtakin/ hill climbing Try finding longer way round with less obstacle to your office. The fuel cost might be the same Thus my not so good FC if full tank fully travelling with FC in mind on highway or for longer distance travel, I should definitely be able to achieve <4.7/100km. Try pressing harder on the accelerator or set it on cruise control while climbing hill, You should see more assist when the car try to maintain the speed QUOTE(n00b123 @ Sep 28 2011, 02:24 PM) sensor included...otherwise, it will be priced around 1k...just the same like for vios and city Its the glass that matter. The sensor (near rearview mirror) is an optical sensor and is always there. Using thinner or thicker glass and/or glass with different purity (cheaper) will affect the optical reading and render the sensor useless. The best thing to do, even if we quoted with cheap glass, asked them to guarantee that the sensor will work.actually, that guy also told me..if i were to fork out my own $$ for windscreen, can get a cheaper windscreen without the sensor or move the sensor to elsewhere QUOTE(irwan.chemat @ Sep 29 2011, 10:23 AM) Hello there..have anyone came across with this issue...?? Irwan: Ayyo need to topup fuel. RM10 enoughlah.Low fuel alarm sounded with yellow led lit...then immediately i went to petrol station for refueling with only RM10 purchase.

Insight: RM10? really? Insight: RM10 again? really? Insight: RM20? Thats rite. I'll update the gauge. Irwan: #%^&*%^#@T^!! Insight: U can buy me cheap but i'm not cheap |

QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Sep 29 2011, 07:17 PM) Tentatively expected price RM110-125K. ic. rm110-125k pricing consider quite reasonable actually. consider our insight already rm100k. and the engine of crz is 1.5-1.6k cc? if not wrong? of course the appearance no doubt nicer looking too. but if it is like what rumor said, it will be a 6 speed manual car, then i will not be interested though. not into manual seriously. Yeap, booking is on... And confirm got 10 units at GA... But that 10 units are booked though, unless those people decided to give up in the end. P/S: I might need help somewhere early next year soon from you guys, my final year paper is on hybrid (again, yeah again).... 10 units only at each showroom? i think can still try anyway. like our insight initially a lot of orders, but due to some loan application not approved etc, end up 3 mths wait become 2 weeks wait also. ZeroSP ordered already? This post has been edited by westlife: Sep 29 2011, 09:53 PM |
