normal. recently i just shifted to my condo temporary. 2 flow go and come back from work is only around 50km. A few traffic lights. I realize my FC from 420km went down to 360km - 380km.

1) Wider tyres (175/65/14) but it's quieter and my gps is now accurate - i think this has less effect.
2) I do many short trips like less than 5km. that's the problem! moving and stopping is consuming lots of fuel i guess
3) If I do long trips, I drive at 120km/h-140km/h. When i'm working on odd shift i always go 140km/h and i realize.. full tank 350km need to pump ady. RM52
4) Go through lots of jams. Main Reason!!!
5) Sometimes, I rev to between 3-4k, then only I change gear. This too!!!

My best record so far on the Savvy is 15.6km/l (driving 90km/h - 100km/h, this happen after i kena 3 saman on the same month!!!  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif damn it!) Average is around 14km/l (can only archive this if i drive <110km/h) <13km/l when i ram the blardy hell out of it > 140km/h  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif

Your's not AMT right? Bring to workshop check, I'm afraid your drum break jam there only. What you can do is after driving 30 minutes or so put your hand on the drum brakes and see whether it's boiling hot or just hot. If it's too hot i'm afraid something is wrong with your break shoe. It could be ECU malfunction as well but that's not so critical as it's just an indicator.

Hehe i think i solve all the noise coming from outside ady. Now left the engine roaring part but i'll just let it be.

*today i got tail by another savvy at 120km/h haha i give way and the fellow just dash off with a turbo sound. Damn it's really fast if it's on turbo.

the use of shortshifter just to reduce the shift throw during gear shifting. my gear stick now feel sluggish mybe due to more pickup power when i remove the CAT tongue.gif interested r? around rm2XX for the gear stick and clutch pin.

ahh i see i see... never plan to go towards that road. tongue.gif i pasang at bukit subang got one seller selling that air charger RM140 include installation.

What i can say is that the response seems to be better and after 120km/h i can see easily reach 140km/h easier. Most probably it's due to more air going in..

berlambak spare part. if you are in Klang Valley. Haha our forumers are also doing courier services if you are outside of KV region.

Some update and something i've learned today. If your spark plug had missfired and you've change them before, remember to check on your engine oil as well. Today i decided to give it a test on the Tesco Fully Syn i previously bought. RM80 for 4 litres drool.gif drool.gif . When i drain out the Eneos oil i poured in my last OC i'm shocked to realize it's all black despite only running for 3.5k km. Came back home go reading and googling and found out that this might happen if your spark plug was screwed up and you continue driving the car.

Anyway, the tesco fully syn was not bad, about the same like the oil i previously using. 5w-30 eneos with Revo.. after running for about 30km i pour in revo since i have a few bottles spare... It's amazing. The engine is so damn silent! flex.gif flex.gif

*i'll do a couple more oil check until driving them to 10k km.

HAha kereta murah, if test liao got problem then got solid reason to tukar enjin liao. LOL anyway the engine oil seems good la so far. 100km run already. not bad i should say for RM80. Engine is smooth and silent as compared to previous Eneos. But of course i'm comparing a full syn VS a semi syn. I'm doing more price comparison instead of grade. haha

n00b Q: what is revo? how to use it? price?

another n00b Q: what is the difference between 10W-40 and 10W-30 engine oil? how much does it affects the fuel consumption? since i buy my car, i only send to proton svc center, now warranty habis at 50k km, i'm planning to go to renautech tomorrow. at proton svc, always use syntium 800 10W-40, now i'm buying Liqui Moly 10W-30. what difference should i expect?

10w-40 provides better protection however 10w-40 will not be as smoothing compared to 10w-30.

If you are getting the LM oil from Thundercid you can get the Revo for him as well. Basically it's a bottle of ester to be poured into your engine as well. It reduce friction thus letting your engine to rev smother. That's all.

The engine oil and revo is worth it la as for a start. As for ceretec and the rest i think you can gradually pour it. Those Lambda cleaner and so on as long as your car is still smooth i don't think you need it.
