Currently testing petrol consumption

For RON95, I prefer Petronas becoz powerful, more mileage and not noisy, but their oil pump is not consistent. Some petrol station gives good and clean petrol, some like water tak boleh pakai.

So far I found the good Petronas station is after sungai besi tol to KL, the first Petronas station on left before turning into sri petaling. The other 1 is seremban petronas station, opposite the terminal 1.

Still pending for more research to wait for more consistent result

Last time I tried Petronas, a little bit powerful, but no mileage improvement. Then again my first and last, thanks to some Indon hired by that el-cheapo station. Asked for full tank (knowing my car can go beyond RM 60) with RM 50 at the cashier, they gave me RM 50 worth of fuel only. Had to screw them in front of so many ppl. "Tak paham apa tu full tank kah...?" They purposely limit me to RM 50 because they takut I run away with the excess. No more f***ing Petronas for me. Went back to Esso/Mobil.

Now trying BHP since many ppl claimed there's improvement on mileage, some more now got contest until Nov...

anyone know how much is oem alza front bumper?

How's BHP then?

why change?

had an accident with another car
want to change back the standard front bumper
anyone know the price?

Baru first time try. Before filling with BHP, was with Esso. Previous tank did 420km with 106km range left. Just refill, did 386km with 186km range left. Not a good comparison yet coz 80% city drive, 20% highway. Previous tank 95% and 5% respectively. Have to wait until the car comes back, refill a few round baru tau... Car masuk kilang again tomorrow...

Some say use a bigger size battery it would help and the battery will not damage so easily. I have tried this with the previous car. But now I am not sure what size can be use for Alza?

Try to ask in Official Alza forum, they got many lubang there

Ur Alza is very petrol saving, mine average only 450km nowadays, always drive like bull

change bigger help in?

Drive like a bull...? Your Alza very powderful meh....? Coz installed Iridium spark plugs...?

Mine underpowered lar....

I don't know much about electrical, so the terms I use here might not be correct but just to illustrate on what I learn from mechanics.

If our Alza needs 1000mAh each time we turn on the car engine, and the battery we use is just 1100mAh, then the battery lifespan will be very short. Because we have only 100mAh buffer. So if we turn on the aircon to full one day, charge something, or for whatever reasons used very close to 1100mAh, it kind of reduces the battery's lifespan.

But, if we put in a 1300mAh battery, then we hardly strain/stress the battery since we cannot reach the limit. The 300mAh buffer is more than sufficient to cover all our needs. Hence, the battery will last longer.

However, the issue is different battery capacity has different sizes. I don't know what size can fit into our Alza.

But the thing is, only sometimes I hit until 3000rpm going uphill. Most of the time on 2000rpm only. I cannot figure out why my mileage so low.

How you guys measure...? Refill to refill...? How much of range left...?

Me average 420km city drive if range down to about 100km, and I don't think it will go for another 100km. I've tried asking P2 guys to see how far can they go, they don't even know... My max was 463km...


Anyway, just came back from service, my car tak jadi masuk kilang coz no replacement car for me. Have to wait until they're available...

Damn sien lar see this piece of trash. Everytime have to take leave, waste time go service center and show them all the problems.

Might be you need to try other petrol?

is rite this

When u pump full oledi, reset the meter and run. On the second pump, use the mileage and divide with petrol you just pump. E.g. Ur mileage recorded for the first pump is 400km. On second pump you fill 35 litre. Use this 400km divide by 35 litre and times 42 litre. Why? Becoz you just use this 35 litre to run 400km. Times 42 litre shall be the full tank petrol consumption.

What's the point of "times 42 litre"...?

Anyway, normal plugs and iridium plugs don't seem to have any performance differences, not even a noticeable one. Just installed it today when servicing my car.

Walk into a perodua showrom last sunday. The interest they offering now is only 2.87% quite interesting. Thinking of getting the premium version white color but there is actually 2 types of white color Solid Whiteand Pearl White. Which one easier to maintain?
