good news! well it's actually for me.......
i managed to clock 13.6 km/l for my previous tank of fuel........... not bad an achievement considering the fact i am running on 215/40-17 tires....... wider tires are not a good choice when u wanna better fuel mileage cos they have a larger contact patch and more rolling resistance...........
to achieve the target, i up-shifted between 2000 - 2500 rpm and always try to cruise while on the expressways.......... the engine feels very comfortable at 2500 rpm in top gear.........
other rules are:
no hard acceleration and no late braking.............
keep the tires well inflated..............
maintain a safety distance from the car ahead so that others cannot influence my driving
never overload the aircon
despite my best attempts, i did break a few rules over the past week......... cos i cant resist the temptation when the roads turn curvy ahah...... driving should be still be fun right?
in the end, 13.6 km/l is a good result....... with falling fuel prices, there is less incentive to go green ........ however i am trying to challenge myself to do it........
let's see if i can go better from now on.........
