ah no wonder...

no malaysia M2 does not have i-eloop

I see. Actually, i think it's better not to have iLoop thing. After all, it's not like can save a lot of fuel.....i guess it's trying to be something like a simple man's hybrid? The more funny tech a car has...the more it's prone to problem...i guess the iLoop thing will have to prove itself in the next few years.....if it catches on, we will probably see it in the next gen cars.

i-stop does help a lot on fc, i-eloop's double-layer capacitor seem like an extra power storage

below is quoted from wiki:
In 2011, Mazda has announced i-ELOOP, a system which uses a variable-voltage alternator to convert kinetic energy to electric power during deceleration. The energy, stored in a double-layer capacitor, is used to supply power needed by vehicle electrical systems. When used in conjunction with Mazda’s start-stop system, i-Stop, the company claims fuel savings of up to 10%

Theorotically only...the overall M3 FC is not too bad for a C-Segment, but not too great either. I believed there was test done at Paultan with several C-Seg car, M3 actually lose a bit to the T&H. But anyway, if can buy M3...WTF with FC. Sumpah tak kesah.

Hi.. Sorry I have 2 question here

I been driving my car reach mileage 138. But the fuel tank meter still show full tank in the fuel meter. Is it normal ?

I stop. Sometime work sometime did not work. Is it normal also ?

it might means that your FC is good?
As I been told by SA, I-Stop will not kicks in if your car temperature is high(means hot, I think ~28C?).

yes the fuel meter is like that

after i reset my trip meter after pumping petrol the fist time, i reach around 200km plus b4 it drop 1 bar

from my driving experience, istop works depending on how hard u press ur brake pedel. if u just tap it gently to a slow stop, i stop doesnt kick in, the light on the dash just blinks.
but if u press bit harder, then the car will stop and istop will kick in and kill the engine and restart once u lift off the brake pedal

and yes, i noticed if the istop is on and engine is off, it will restart the engine automatically if the temp in the cabin increases

smaller 1 got 15 bars
bigger 1 got 4 bars

if smaller 1 bar for 200km, full tank of fuel can last for >1k km?

isnt the the big bar 3 for each quarter and and the small bar 6?

ya, make it all bars are same size, total 12 bars
1 bar 200km? then 12 bars 2400km?

or 1 quarter 200km? 4 quarter 800km?

hard to say like that, cause the first bar took 200km+ to drop, but not the 2nd, 3rd, 4th,etc.. bars, they all drop much faster
