Latest is 430 km for 33 litres. A bit S-Mode and pedal happy in the last fill up due to some whackos on the road.
If not, should be at least +30km more.
*
when i using s mode all the way.. around 420km - 450km also nia for 34.5 litres ... so if using D mode i can go more till 500km around now.... i think u can go for more too.

Dear people, my SA told me every time that i start my car, i hafta wait till the 'blue C temperature light' went off, then only i can drive my car. Or else the engine can easily broke down. Where as I read in auto magazines (and chic lit magazines as well!) they say the method only waste ur petrol, and advice on drive slowly at first (till the lights off by itself). Only then u can accelerate.

Which 1 i shud follow??
*
as read on the book from city memo. to made the blue temperature light off faster, open full of your aircond fan and temperature... to made the engine faster warm. but normally i just open fan to 3 and temperature set to 80% cold.. the engine warm fast already. i not sure izzit i read it correct on book boh, maybe others can correct my mistake. cause i also dont wnat to using wrong method to break my car engine d.

That's why I use Shell instead of Caltex since I find Caltex have poorer mileage but for some reason, I feel the car has a bit more power if I use Caltex... so I guess that is the trade off.
*
huh.. Caltex really poorer mileage? cause when i get my car till now i using Caltex only. i was thinking to campur shell v-power for a tank... do we can campur in this way? will it have any side effected for car engine? sorry still very noob on car engine.. hehe

Idling your engine does waste fuel. Just remember not to rev your car right until it's warmed up (blue low temp light goes off). You can drive the car with blue light on, just go slow. The reason is to allow engine oil to be distributed to all engine parts, as over a long period of time, engine oil will collect in the oil sump at the bottom of the engine thru sheer gravity.

The light will go off quite quickly, not to worry. Don't advise you switch on the air con during warm up, as it 'drags' your engine, just let it warm up normally. Don't be afraid of the blue light! icon_rolleyes.gif

Petrol from different brands can be mixed. It will not affect the engine. No side effects. If you want to test a particular brand, the best indicator is the 3rd tank as you would have fuel from a previous brand leftover in your car when you pumped your 1st tank. Happy testing.

wow... thanks bro, very clear explaination.. now i more understand why we need doing that.. hehe

People,

Is there any other way to fill up ur fuel/open the fuel tank cover WITHOUT the key being in the ignition? I am quite wary about leaving the car for petrol so I usually take the key with me while pumping my fuel. So many bad people la nowadays... scared if i need to fill up at nite...
*
u can take out your key, open your cover then lock your car... then fill the petrol. this is what i do always. if car got people inside... then just take out your key n fill the petrol... as long as u no lock your car... your petrol cover will no lock. no need keep the key for ignition 1.

same to go with people asking while driving and dont want people to open your tank cover... when if u driving, lock your door, petrol cover will lock as well... that simple.. hehe

Nice thought ... is it genuine? i mean how do i tell them to place the label away from the dirty area... i'm getting the black and probably the modulo too..  icon_idea.gif

i was taking honda ori modulo... due before after market still dont have and also lasy to hunt.. so when i get my car direct put on modulo already.

i just asking my agent dont put the logo like normally where they put... point to my SA that where i want to place on then he will notice for u. i not sure other branch will doing this boh.. but i think it just very simple job only... cause the logo they only stick up after they spray the color on the modulo.

It's true that pickup is not as good as expected. It's a bigger/heavier car though the engine is more powerful.

You can't control when vtec opens? My SA told me that when you rev above 3k on NHC, VTEC opens. Anyone felt that before?
*
it is just vtec open... not turbo d... so u can control itm no worry, hehehe!

u will feel ur car more power n u feel easy to overtake cars when if u in highway especially when u with speed 110km/h and want to overtake cars

huah dam sien lorh like dat also can lose to myvi  rclxub.gif
btw i dun really understand the i-vtec thingy i just noe that the NHC have it n it is some technology thingy.. do u mind explaining abt it?
but i duno why sometimes i feel that the car is so week tekan minyak liao also cannot jalan de..
lol.. later ur gf ask u get another 1 4 her.. then u sibeh sakit liao!
*
the engine is no diffrent from S n E... it just cause u have extra bigger size of rim which S only 15' but E is 16' ... then some other feature like fog lamp also add some weight for the car. If u read the weight of the car for S n E is diffrent. if u drive S model, i think the pick up better then E.. this was my SA told me.. but i not sure how true it is.

for the vtec thingy, i also not sure very well on this... also nood on it d. But have some member explain on the vtec.. i just explain in nood way ok.. cause not very tech people.. hehe!

when i tekan minyak light, yes... we feel like no power... compare to vios.. slide press ... cabut liao... but when u use to it... know how to control your minyak... u feel that your car more power and .. tekan minyak below 3k rpm and 3.5k will be much diffrent power... after 3.5k rpm open the vtec engine as other member mention... and the sound is diffrent... u can hear it sound smooth with power n push ur car run fast.... normally i love drive on highway at speed 110km/h ... then u try tekan minyak to over take cars... u feel it is easy and u feel diffrent bout ur engine not same as when u drive at low rpm.

someone if can help please explain more in tech way... cause i really nood bout engine d.. only can explain on what i feel on 3.5km drive experince until now.

ch_leong,..
how come you know that you have 9.8l left in the tank?
for me.. i thought that the km left at the odometer shows that you only can go that far with current fuel in the car..
How to judge ??
Please advice.

Thanks,
*
cause he pump the petrol when red light on... then he pump until the petrol filled auto jump (full).. mean full in your tank... so u count how much u pump in ur tank device with RM1.80 (example he pump RM58 untill it full, then u count 58/1.80 = 32.22... litres then tolak 42 litres = 9.7777..) ...so he know roughly his fuel tank remain only around 9.8 litres petrol there.
