When drove motorbike and drame of driving a car

my FC,

rm70 jalan 240km.

problem? i heavy foot cuz i kenot tahan a car with no power produced.

more power equals to more fuel and air.

u kenot lawan the fizik.

nuff said.

its just a FC thread.. doest mentioned meant for car or bike ekekeke... so i posted mine.

My Myvi 1.0 can go 500++km full tank until warning indicator start blinking. RON97 btw.

Oh tat one becoz I drive behind lorry most of the time. less drag.

car slow, so no point trying to be fast & later I feel naturally sedated becoz of the slowness.

i dunno whether its in my head or what, for some reason it felt weak & mileage was worse. barely reach 400km.

Bro... The car service e like any regular car laa.. there is no need special service for Hybrid car... (well for Insight there is no need anyway... not sure on prius...)

The Electric motor is brushless so there is virtually no wear and tear towards the motor..

The problem people afraid is the NiMh battery pack...

so let me shed / share some light into it... (I share on Insight only I dont own a prius..)

1. Insight IMA battery back consist of 3 parts
- Battery
- IMA Circuit (2 board)
- Cooling Fan

so provided the circuit board is in good running condition you only need to replace the expired D cell Battery. Insight IMA has 189 Sanyo Type-D cell NiMh in series connection..

So what does that mean??
If you google you will notice people in U.S. do replace the D-cell (Battery only) for a very cheap price they even replace it with a higher MAh cell which allow the hybrid to travel further on battery...

Is it cost RM5K... well if you burn the whole pack yes it cost RM5K else it is around RM1.5K to RM2K

Why NiMh why not Lipo... NiMh is actually a better battery... it is very resistant to heat and you can over charge it without causing explosion... the only problem with NiMh is the capacity... you cannot have 4000mah inside nimh... only lipo can do that...

any how... after driving that car for some time I can safely say it will get me 750km for RM60 of petrol... not bad for a petrol car (lets not compare diesel) as I know diesel can acheive this milage too... just cannot afford VW cause I know maintanence will kill me... not the car...

ron 97 sure can take u further when we calculate base on litre basis..but when we compare let say rm10 ron95 with ron97, ron95 can go further..last time when ron97 was about rm2.10 if not mistaken, for the same amount of money, the car that i drove can get the same mileage as the ron95..now cannot already..have to mix like rm30 ron97+rm10 ron95 can get rm40 ron95 distance..just from my past experience..roughly..

actually I find it quite funny... you all claim RON97 can go further and RON95 no so far... sure mou... as I know all car made for RON95 has a very lousy combusion ratio 10:1 parts ratio.. a proper RON97 will have 12:1 or more...

as I know all Made in Malaysia car and Japan (CKD model) is made for RON91... why cause Thailand and Indon only have RON91 and RON92... if you want good milage for RON97 do like my friend do send his car to re-tune ECU confirm you get super good milage...

the maintenance is comparable to the honda accord.. u call that regular car?

servicing every 5k, even can save money on petrol, u cant save time. time is money.

Citroen Xsara 1.4 I usually do 700-800 km with 50 liter at a constant 140 km/h all the time, no aircon or only set to low.

Renault Kangoo 1.4 maximum so far was 360 km for RM 67, so around 500 km with 50 liter... but my foot isn't light, aircon was on full all the time and we were 2 to 6 on board. Highway helped... with traffic jam and traffic lights etc. it's much worse.

Diesel are much better though, 1000 km on one 50 liter tank isn't uncommon.

Actually electric cars need less maintenance, only the battery has to be replaced after a while and things like brakes etc. course, but not as frequent as with normal cars (since the car is often slowed down using the electric motor to generate electricity.
Doesn't apply to a hybrid though.

Proper or slightly too high tyre pressure helps reducing FC

10:1-11:1 is normal or average compression ratio, not VERY LOUSY compression ratio.
skyactiv is 14:1 can run ron95 no prob.
tune ECU can boost 200% or 300% better fuel efficiency? if not just slightly better only la.

dont exaggerate things pls

Didn't say 200% didn't even put figure hahaha but will improve... Sky active 14:1 compression ratio is there cause the engine is equipped with knock sensor. I doubt MyVI has knock sensor

Last time we used leaded RON87 then came RON90 and we were happy. Even the twin turbos.

Today we use RON95 and still we complain or find fault with it. In most countries, RON95 is premium fuel and here we spend the additional on RON97. Even the NA FI engines.

Something is wrong with our fuel these days.

I ride bike, and it's a 2 stroke. 5 sen per km is the daily average. This means 4liter for 150+km.
RON97 certainly do not improve the km/liter.
