Attention Oil Burners: Fuel Brand

[DKNY]

Hemeraj... driving style is very important. A good take off from a standing start and then throttling back so the car gears up and settles into a cruise is a nice way to get things off to a smooth start. And maintaining a constant speed and resisting the urge to 'tekan' every time on the highway is also nice. Ideal cruising speed in urban roads is 60-80kms, while keeping an eye on the econo-meter, and on the highway 120 is pretty good. Steady, consistent pressure on the throttle is also worth practising.

Hmm if I wanted to do that I would have got myself a Prius but thx for the info.

Economical driving can be taken as a competition of sorts. Slows down an already hectic life, a new set of challenges. I love the economy of my vehicle, and I equally love the performance on tap should it be needed. It's almost the perfect balance. I don't have the need or urge to prove something to anyone but myself when I'm on the road, and I spend a lot of time on the road. Competitive or spirited driving on our roads, especially in the cities, is simply not fun, not safe, unless really really necessary.
