comsumption can get 8.3km per litre running in s'pore. of course not so fun on the driving part. change gear about 4000rpm and run on 6th gear at speed of 70kmh.

on sin-kl, can get 9.5km per litre. lately i like to accelerate fast but keeping withing speed limit. changing the first 2 gears about 6000rpm then cruise on 6th gear. this type of driving gives me 7.6 to a litre. all in all a full tank should give you 400km unless hard driving - of course.

hope that helps.

If i am not wrong. Most of you are getting poor mileage because your cars are still new. From my experience, new cars have poor milleage. It usually gets better around 20k-30k.

And i hope i am right.

Maybe the fat right leg is connected to a fat body which the car struggles to move, thus the "fat" fuel consumption.

no offense bud. Fat people cannot fit in the 8 anyway. Doubt you are one.

On the bright side. You cannot be that FAT. Otherwise you cannot fit in the 8.
