hi all. i'm pretty new to automotive thingy so i hope can get a kind advise from you all

firstly thanks for bringing this topic. i'm driving my dad's old perdana, the first model, but already converted the engine to V6. scares me a lot since after got licence, drive perdana.. bigger than kancil during test.

one thing i realize is that before my dad convert the engine, the meter is 220kmh. but after convert, the meter only 180kmh.. is the upgraded engine are slower or my dad intentionally made it like that?

how about the average fuel consumption? before the KL-Putrajaya hiway established, i use around 2 'takuk/takat/senggat meter' to go back and forth and back again from KL - cyberjaya - KL again.. using the highway, i'm using half of that 'takuk/takat' right now. is that normal or still worst? what are the economy speed of perdana ? my main concern about this car is the fuel consumption. huhu. up until now i use RM 50 that can go back and forth from KL cyberjaya for 3 times ( 6 trips ) and RM 70 to go to teluk intan. is that normal ? (but if i'm going inside KL, it's hell a lot of usage.. )

tonight as i'm going back to KL.. i'll conduct a proper metering and will need all of you guys consultation. so thanks in advance

okay i've conducted my fuel consumption test.. hehe

------------
17 april = 136590
21 april = 136819
------------
total distance = 229 .. fill in RM 50 on 17 april.

that's my report.. what do you think? normal or not?
