Just thought of sharing.. got this from the Kia Forte manual downloaded from the net (should be rather similar to ours)

"Distance to empty (if equipped)
This mode indicates the estimated dis-tance to empty based on the current fuel
in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel delivered to the engine. When the
remaining distance is below 50 km (30 miles), “---” will be displayed and the dis-
tance to empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 50 to 999 km (30 to 990 miles)"

So.. when the empty indicator starts to blink.. we have roughly less than 50KM range to search for a fuel pump..
*
Nice info.
Tried once when "---" is displayed. Drive for another 40km++ distance with no jam and refill around 48.XX litres. So i assume when "---" starts to blink, you would have about 7 litres petrol left in your car. This is also same to my myvi where 7 litres left when empty indicator is show.

so be on the safe side, dont drive beyond 50km although a little more KM can be achieved.

Ya I think so. But no matter what preve is a Proton had bad experience with this brand so even if it's 10k cheaper I will not consider. First time on Korean car hope it won't end up like this too. BTW don't u guys realize what makes PROTON think that their car price can be on par with vios, city, and our precious forte? If u look at highest spec of inspira it even on top of it.  And don't forget those car is expensive due to import tax. Take out tax those car is a lot cheaper PROTON. Or they think their brand is on top of Honda & Toyota?
*
Right! And if you want to know the actual price of Preve, keep watching when they export this car to other countries (normally cheaper). You will know how much expensive they sell to Malaysian.

Pity myself and Malaysian sad.gif

true, Intentionally to find out how far it can go thus can plan much more better ahead, especially I am the lazy type and always fill in the most if possible except long journey. smile.gif

My reasoning doing so :-

1. Late night not a good choice to pump petrol, skip to next morning if possible. Logically lesser chance expose to criminal (too sad, this is where we stay. I am very cautious and alert on personal safety)

2. Sometimes it is reluctant to go for certain brand petrol station if choices are there.Skip it since you know you can make it for the next stop.

My Vios Dugong last time used Pioneer HU AVH-P4100DVD together with seperate
remote signal device which operates from original steering control..
it has 2 major drawbacks.. the respond is very slow to transmit signal and gets frustrated when
you wanna lower down the volume quickly by steering volume button..

the 2nd one is.. it pair and saves memory for each button from your HU remote to the infrared transmitter device..
hence the steering wheel "up and down" button could only change mp3 folders and radio station preset channel.. or change mp3 files/tracks and manual tune radio frequency..

this is because my previous HU from remote control the up and down button is for changing mp3 folder and radio preset station.. left and right button is changing song track and manual tune radio station..

so I've decided to choose changing mp3 folder and radio preset station when I press up and down on steering wheel button.. hmm..

Really need ur feedback on after 10k service. My car FC now seems like better on 2nd tank. The first can reach 380km only now this tank seems like can reach 450km.

Last time I'm using BHp also not bad. But problem is the station is quite limited ESP ppl like me doing sales and lazy pump petrol.everytime also picit till almost wanna spill out. But now I'm using esso. Not bad or a bit better compare to BHp and station also a lot. Choose what station also I definitely won't choose SHELL. Completely banned it...

I pumped Esso for once when I was using my bro's car (Ford Focus 2.0 Duratec) because it was the nearest station available and alarmingly low fuel.. (Range to Empty only 7km). A day after terus kena sound by him coz evident feel of torqueless 3k rpm power.. same goes to my Vios last time.. maybe Esso mileage is abit better compare to BHP..

and one more "problem" with my Forte.. the new car smell fades off 98% at only 800km on odometer.. fastest which I wouldn't expect in every new car I've driven.. haihhhh..
