Yes this is the way I calculate

not correct?

bro, actually I'm doing the calculation in same manner like u.. I travel to KL quite often. Sometimes with EB cfe &
sometimes with my old merc (W124)..
Fill up full tank ron95 at simpang pulai, ipoh shell, stop at sg buloh shell then do the calculation from there
(distance approx 200km). For the CFE, initially (<1k km) need RM37~39. Now, is RM31~33..
If comparing to my old merc 2.6cc, its only RM27~28.. (driving at 120~130 km/hr)

just curious..why drop a bit straight away pump full again
why not wait till almost empty? better average IMO

or is it i misunderstood?

Either method should be OK depending on the reason. In this case I believe he wanted to compare apple to apple - same highway route. Right?.


Turbocrazy,

I drive the W124 before .... a comfort and relaible car and not expensive to mantain. Am thinking to get the E220 ... but too many cars in garage now.

just wanted to test the FC

Bro sendoh_7, by right we should take the average, i.e; gather the mileage for few months then see how much fuel
we pump to date then take the average.. But the thing is, our CFE is still new, in order to obtain the quick rough figure
how much our CFE drinks.. then I'm doing this while waiting for my CFE to stabilized.. Correct me if i'm wrong..

klate dude, Yuup this w124 is given to me by my dad, and he is used to be one proud owner of this ride. He told me
that w124 is an over engineered machine, n I do agree with him due to the comfort, reliability.. in short, " driving
from Ipoh to KL was like juz came back for a cup of coffee"..
If u go for E220, then it sud be masterpiece, loh.. I think 2.6cc is the most suitable for w124 body due to its weight, "effortless".. but surely the bad point is the higher roadtax n higher maintenance la.. Dun be suprise if I'm telling u this ; W124 is more comfortable than camry..

btw

i there an auto FC indicator? i notice there is something similar on the engine temp level indictor

auto FC indicator??

the left side indicator got 3 options: mileage to go, average FC, real time FC

ya, there is, near the engine temp, if u depress the button for 3~4 sec, then u can choose which one u want to
monitor..
1) a car figure like for monitoring how much distance more to refuel
2) indicator for how many km more to empty
3) Fuel consumption monitoring ; 10.2L /100km

accurate?

nope...

1) and 2) not the same meh?

If I'm not mistaken there are 4 modes to select for display. I forgot the icon associate with them- you can refer to the manual.

1. instant fuel consumption
2. Average fuel consumption
3. Distance can travel before Empty
4. Total travel time.


When using the #2 (Average fuel consmption) you should reset the meter every now and then to be more accurate.


TurboCrazy,

I 100% agree on the Merce comfort even though sudah tua .... Most European Car are well known for that.

to me #1 is useless, #2 juz for rough estimation coz not accurate one..
Furthermore, too small, hard to see while driving..

oh ya i forgot the total travel time

wow ? from buying Teana V6 2.5 to Exora Bold CFE ? Hard to belief ...... from 168k to 80k

ya, hard to believe myself, its between either doing installment or not.. People in CH normally go down to ipoh often
to do shopping, tuition, movies etc.. things are much cheaper in ipoh. i.e; a pack of rice can cost as much as RM 2~3
dearer..
So, I tot this so called "dare to be different, value for money, powerful, space is a bonus machine" can serve me well,
but.. ....

patient bro.... your eb is still under warranty. i am pretty sure things will turn out fine eventually

Guys, latest news...

"The retail price of RON 97 petrol will be RM2.60 per litre effective tomorrow, July 5. This is a 20 sen reduction from the previous RM2.80 per litre.

This adjustment comes nearly a month after the pump price of RON 97 had been lowered by 10 sen from RM2.90 per litre. Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah said that the reduction was made in line with the dip in the average global oil price.

Unlike the regulated and subsidised RM1.90 per litre RON 95, the pricing of RON 97 is based on a managed float, whereby the price is determined according to market forces"

i don't have money to pump RON 97, so no impact to me
