I've been silently reading this thread for weeks without registering myself, before I bought my "new" 2nd hand BLM. People over here are damn friendly and wouldn't mind to share how far can their BLM go with a tank of petrol. I even found member post their BLM does >400km/RM50! That is seriously insane to me. Without borrowing a friend's BLM and dry up 2 tank of their petrol(I doubt if there is anybody willing to let me do that), with all the sohighness and without experiencing the actual mileage, I went and bought a used BLM from bank lelong with a good price.

Sorry to say, I started the fuel efficient thing again lately with all the resenting of BLM because I found my old WIRA 1.6 is more efficient than a 14 years newer car. I don't meant all that but I thought of making this information available to fellow BLMer here, as I plan to put up my journal

A journey to less petrol consumption in BLM

I've been learning and trying to improve my petrol count. Trying to squeeze up the last drop of petrol to the final destination with all the tips and tricks from this forum, hoping to show everybody a better way to improve their BLM's mileage.

Meanwhile, I've been trying the 2krpm shift up thingy as suggested by fellow members. I will put up my reading once I go and refuel my tank, and see whether that works.


I kid you not, I following smooth drive and try to change by 1.8k, but the drive by wire lagged. I already try to release pedal early, but I'm still not so use to it... just yet.

p/s: how to put the youtube video here? tried several times, but still in white color. wouldn't work.

And, believe it or not, the indicator drop 1 box at 39.8km  WTF?!

I wouldn't jump in to conclusion yet. I'll give 2 tank of petrol for this method. If things doesn't go well, I'll switch back to my usual light foot 3k rpm base on my usual smooth sailing style.

Thanks and regards,

Dave
