Yes, hypermiling is hard work and for most of the time, I wouldn't say impractical, but tedious and inconvenient. The fuel savings though, and the positive environmental impact, is frankly worth the effort. I share the Myvi with my older brother, and It's just sad to see him forking out RM30 a week while that RM30 can last me up to 3 weeks, and yet we're driving the same car.
I would like to get my hands on one of them new Mirage, as a first car, but the price is actually quite scary for a car that size.
Then again, the fuel saving is quite significant. On the other hand, my "manliness" is challenged by such a vehicle. The first-gen 1.0 Myvi is already doing a fine job at that.
I just had to revive this thread when seeing another kaki murah I'm glad to say with tofu pedals my Myvi can reach 20km/l quite easily - manual though and of course without any jams and stuff to ruin my day. Highest record ever was 23.6km/l on the highway at uncle speed. I would like to get my hands on one of them new Mirage, as a first car, but the price is actually quite scary for a car that size.

I wished I kept my money for the Mirage instead - with my cheapfoot pedal - maybe might have crammed in even more But higher 15k investment - So at least I fell happier now hahaha). Prius will kill me with its price Got any mini-prius model? Btw, since cheapness is the topic -anybody ever had CNG on Myvi yet?
