Myvi 1.5SE reporting for duty

I'm pretty newbish with all the stuff bout automobiles - so I'm currently reading up stuff - but since I'm assuming (as always) you guys would probably know better, currently I'm trying my best to cheapen my FC and maintenance as much as possible (yeah I'm a cheap-ass freak ) - cause its only 2-3 months and I've blown off 5000km already - lots of trips out of city.

Since my car is new, I don't think I can do any mods till warranty expires. Its a manual transmission and my current FCs on the road is something like 22km/l (pure highway at 80kph), and 17km/l (averaged out). Currently using LDP>Dengkil>Nilai high way a lot and some roads thru PJ, Subang, Damansara.

An old friend of mine recommended getting better wheels and a good engine oil for the vehicle for now - so I'm looking into that - other than that any other suggestions? (Maybe like removing the side mirrors since they cause drag ROFL - ok ok e.g. engine tuning ka, tayar ka, burit ka). Currently driving like an uncle (not aunty aa) and its okay so far, but still cheap-ass freak will be cheap-ass freak

I doubt a good tint will change much other than lighten up the ac too right? Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice

- LCP - Nak nemu utai - going to look that up
- Exhaust - Upgrade from stock i guess?

- Eco tyre (Wait until stock one burst or something )
- Right foot training - check - can't get any more uncle than this or i'll turn into auntie
- !@?#??? - will look into dat

I just gotta love the 'extras' part I'll quickly save 100kg worth of rubbish kua! Extra 1km/l! (And added storage facilities ) Cut off the whole upper frame and cover with canvas - break weight record hahaha.. But thanks for the detailed info - I'll go look the rest up.

I'd rather just go without it - after all in the end its just another component that might just screw itself one day -.- That thing doesn't kick in consistently - and when it chooses to do so - suddenly I feel like im riding on ice

Maybe can ask them to disable and pull it out kah? haha - btw - another question: Any of you still servicing under warranty? Wondering wether the Sc will allow me to change for a better grade fully syn engine oil without voiding warranty.

Boss.. I biasa sudah guna kereta as gym hahaha Thinking of just using basic power steering - rather than having the steering boost feature on the new Myvi's - that is the one that feels inconsistent.

Myvi susah mau dapat offer lah bos - is a hot selling model atm - mine also wait wait tak ada end up cannot tahan buy My FC for 1.5 fluctuates a lot between 15-23 km/l depending on the roads - assume city->highway range at best speed (for 1.5 is around 75-80 kph - uncle la - but CHEAP ) After a few tests, at 110kph, mine averages at 18.5-19.0 km/l Manual btw.
