Sorry if the questions been raised, mind asking how much fuel would be left in the tank when the fuel warning indicator lights up for the 1st time.

TQ so much, jus gotten my saga n feel like wanna do so many things to it; strut bars la, led lights la, haha, hopefully i can get some infos here.

In addition, i c there's a bulk goin on here for LEDs; any pics on those items, kinda interested.

About 10 litres left. About 6 is actually usable.

Btw, from my observation using realtime instant FC reading fromthe OBD2, I find that it is more efficient to quickly accelerate to the desired speed than to slowly move up the speedometer. I dont mean slam the pedal, just apply enoug throttle to accelerate at the most  efficient rate.  you can tell when the km/l will decrease as you start accelerating, but will then slowly increase as you gain speed. The goal is to spend the least amount of time in the phase where km/l is decreasing.

After you have reach the desired speed, maintain minimal throttle to cruise at that speed.

For example, one nite I got cucuk by a MPV, so I full throttle to about 120kph and after smoking him I just slowly decelerate back to 90 to cruise. To my surprise, my long term avg km/l INCREASED!!  thumbup.gif

Do note the above observation is on my car, dunno if it applies to other engines and trannys

I'd take REEV over EV any day. EV habis bateri, mati liao. Gotta spend a few hours charging. REEV? Still can fill up and jalan brows.gif

Hmmmm I get what you mean because my vacuum gauge, doubles as my fuel consumption meter and if I were to plot a graph of vacuum reading against time for the two situations you've described I think accelerating harder would yield higher average vacuum.

Not necessarily up to 0. Maybe between 10-5.

In my experience the final bar doesn't last long, only about 30-40 km no matter how much LC2K is applied.

My estimation:
Just dropped to final bar - 12-14L left
Warning light just appeared - 10L left
Stranded cos minyak habis - 4L left tongue.gif

1. It was 6:30 am

2. The GT-R was always behind me

3. It was prolly heavily tinted as well

So I could not have seen the driver tongue.gif

For your information, sway bar/stabilizer bar are specifically designed to work within 10% extra stiffness of the spring. For example, if both your front springs has 200kg each, then your front anti roll bar should carry 440kg weight. So, if you go for BLM spring, which possibly the front springs compress weight could reduced to 160kg each. There is possibilities that your car may not turn in to corner correctly, you may even have problem parking your car as the spring will react weirdly on the harder anti roll bar. In the long run, the stiff part of the chassis has been focused on the ARB, where the weak part will be emphasized. Sooner or later, you may have hard time to adjust your camber.

To upgrade springs from soft to hard is easier, however if you wanted to downgrade from hard to soft, that's entirely different story. So, for me/Luke to exchange spring with you isn't any problem after all, but I'm afraid it will cause you severe damage to your suspension in the future. nod.gif Your rear will have no problem taking BLM/FL spring at all, but your tail will sag and looked like going to take off anytime, just like any other BLM/FL doh.gif

Solution: swap ARB as well? unsure.gif

AFAIK, BLM/FL front ARB is 19mm thick, FLX 21mm

Okay, got LC2K report for you guys.

YAB suggested I try driving without reading the vacuum gauge. So halfway through the last tank, I did that. Disconnected the power cable for the light and covered it with my homemade Smart Tag holder (no toll on the Island icon_idea.gif).

My consumption has been very darn consistent as my day to day commute is very routine, I got 8.3L/100km three times in a row (see Fuelly below) . Penang traffic is heavy, and there are lots of traffic lights everywhere. I used to get around 7.5 easily last time in KL/PJ.

By ignoring the vacuum gauge halfway through the tank, my latest is 7.8 blink.gif This is despite the pump nozzle malfunctioning and failing to trip when it was full vmad.gif If the tank hadn't overflowed the real consumption would be low to mid 7.x.

Anyway when I fill my tank I always stand on the other side so I don't breathe in the fumes, but I keep an eye on the meter especially near when I expect it to trip. My warning light just came on so I expected it to trip around 28L. But when the meter went on to 29L I knew something was wrong so I rushed over and found it overflowing doh.gif Estimated 2-3L wasted on the floor.

Will keep on monitoring the next few tanks, but for me, seems like my drive by feel is more efficient than following the vacuum gauge.
