Fuel consumption report


Was doing a report last 2 months, and then fuel price hike so had to start all over again.
This is my latest fuel consumption. This is a record, 1 full tank for 450km. Something that I never achieve before.

For 30.65 liters of fuel, it can run up to 450.3km. 1 liter of fuel can last up to 14.69km. So in money sense, this means RM1 can last 5.44KM. Quite a dramatic change from previous fuel price. If the fuel was still at Rm1.92, it can last for 7.65KM. That is two kilometers difference.

If you guys wonder how to calculate it, I'll let you know my method. Fill up your tank until it stop automatically, don't fill anymore after you heard the first "tak" this is because it's an indication your tank is full. Reset your mileage meter to 0. Carry on with your driving until your low fuel warning light goes on, fill up again. Record down how much you fill up and record down the mileage, this indicates how many kms you had for that amount of fuel. Hope it helps.

Switching to another brand of fuel next month see it improves or not.

Cars

Was helping Jen to find a new car and then alot of cars flying inside my head. When talk bout cars, guys go crazy about them. Cars. So what cars is perfect? The condition is the car must have only two door and the price must be realistic.

So here are the list
Golf GTI. 200 horsie. Hot hatch of the year. What could you ask for more. Nice interior and great for town driving

Toyota MR-S. Not really my favourite but it's 2 door. I don't like the bug eye, give me the creeeps

One of my favourite, Mazda RX7 FC. The rotary sound it makes is just too sweet. Plus you only pay 1.3 litres road tax. Kwang kwang kwang

Not really 2 door but I like weh... It's attention grabber, like jukebox

Mazda RX8 with renesis engine, also 1.3 but non turbocharged. Decent hp but don't like the praying mantis eye but dig the suicide door.

Drifter's car. S14. 2.0 turbocharged. Awesome torque and rear wheel drive. Bad thing bout this is, I've only seen one or two on KL roads.

Honda Civic Type R EP3. Digital tachometer. Hot hatch. I like

Fiat Coupe. 20V 2.0 turbocharged. Italian pasta rocket

Cutest of all. Nissan March Impul. Got girlfriend must buy her this :P

Father of all roadsters. Mazda MX5. super fun to drive but too kecik ?

Mazda RX7 FD. Sweetest of all rotary series from Mazda. 1.3 with sequential turbo charger. Nice howling sound it makes...Purrrr

Kereta Tofu. AE 86 trueno. Ah Jen mau?

Silvia S15. My favourite also. It's just too smooth.

Toyota Celica GT4. Rally champion car. 2.0 turbocharged, it makes the current celica looks like a wuss.

Honda Civic Type R Ek9. Cost around 40k -50k here. 1.6 litres produce 180hp. Not bad right? Power of dream. You prolly see this around KL alotttttttt...so if buy this not special. But still nice

Integra DC2, actually I prefer this one over the new Integra. It just look more low profile. More subtle but a monster sleeping inside. Around 90k or less

So Jen mana satu mau? I'm asking my friend to gimme a ring once they got 2 doors car in stock. Integra DC5 kehabisan stock.
