I got my last batch of CBU M3 early last year. Graphite mica. Clocked 36k mileage now. FC 9.2L/100 km according to the monitor. No rattling sounds, no tire sounds, am very happy about the car. Only downside is the NVH which is not so brilliant. Loved the looks, enjoyed the ride. How's the CKD batch?

All petrol brands are good. no different, if got different its mean its your own psychological influenced by marketing ads by those petrol brand... after all its depends on your driving style and average road condition...

i work at petronas, but using shell... why??? because of bonuslink, more option for me to get points at a numbers of affiliates merchant...

diff between each petrol... just additives... u mentioned using shell/caltex clocked 10l/100km, but the rest 11+/100km, u see that, for every 100km u just save RM1.90... which each fill up of total 400km range, its equal of save around RM7+... not much different... so why bother?

just my thought...

want to know how I achieve 8.7L/100km?
1. fill up in early morning (less petrol evaporate)
2. really lightfooted
3. choose road with less traffic/stops/bumps/potholes
4. autocruise (for 2.0 like mine)
5. maintain speed around 60-80km/h (tachometer in between 1k-1.9k)
6. wheel balancing/alignment on regular basis
7. correct tyre pressure (i apply as per OEM advised only)
8. maintain constant not so low air cond... 24degC woud be nice and cozy but not so much consume petrol...
9. maintain regular service interval

else not so much I do, all stock and decent... for sure fc will improve...

No offence, but if I wanna drive this way, I might as well get a Toyota.. No more zoom zoom feel.
I drive quick, corners without much braking, zoom up genting roads.. Then get the cool feel of awesome handling.
And I clock 9.2l/100km
