Just to catch up with previous NOT WELCOMED posting in BLM thread regarding FC, now I've moved here to continue my journal in finding the optimal fuel efficiency of my SAGA BLM. Currently I'm doing 2krpm shift up + smooth acceleration. 80% town driving.

Anyway, the test got some hiccups now as my wife went and refill SOME petrol to my BLM, therefore the current reading is NOT accurate. I'll have to bring the car and refill full tank again during the weekend, so I can update the fuelly with correct amount of petrol being poured in VS actual amount of traveled distance.

As for the ISWARA.... I was waiting the fuel warning indicator to lite up, but it didn't. By the mark of my record 450km, I already started to worry I'm actually running way low of fuel, and mother of Mary I couldn't find my ESSO/MOBIL along the way. So, reluctantly I dragged all the way until reach the petrol station nearby my house. And below are the readings... I still think the fuel warning indicator is malfunctioned just right at this time!



RM0.14/km?!?!?!??! WTF?!?!?!?!?!

So, I guess from today onwards, I'll be a road hogger for very² long time in my ISWARA. I am already a road hogger in my BLM, so after this 2 tank of petrol, I'll have to decide whether continue to hog the road with 2krpm in the BLM or I will try higher RPM to achieve an optimal torque to avoid power loss that resulting high fuel consumption.

Cheers

2 tank of petrol gone for my BLM. Below is the current reading with 2krpm shift up:

1st tank is running on 11.3km/litre (ESSO/MOBIL)
2nd tank is running on 10.1km/litre (SHELL)

Now, officially scrap the idea of 2krpm shift up. No torque, no speed, like crap. Am pushing it up to 3krpm from this tank of petrol onwards.

Cheers,

Dave
