Fuel Consumption (merged)

[silver05]

mine also worth, its too thirsty... 535i said, his car can go up to 320 km for RM59 is quite ok maaaa..... mine was RM75 for 300km only... exactly 25 cent/km in town... very bad ahhhhh..... mechanic also pening kepala, what else to do...

AT last he suggest me to upgrade to 525i.... what is u all think.... anyone do that????

My urban mileage with the usual Klang Valley traffic jams gives me a consumption figure of about 15l/100 KMs or so. I usually run down the tank before each fill. In dollars and cents terms, I get about 430 KMs for 80 bucks. For high speed cruises back to Ipoh, I can drive to Ipoh from SS2, go ronda ronda in Ipoh and return to SS2 with the same full tank. Can get >600 KMs. Larger c.c. does not necessarily translate to higher consumption. My Ipoh drives usually gives a reading of about 11l/100 KMs.

WJ,

Yours is 3.2 cc right? If so, than it is indeed good.

Exactly like yours but w/o the supercharger and manual gear box. But I think the CPU programming could be different. I upgraded mine a few months back for further optimisation.

Then why is mine FC so high???? Can the programming affect this much? Spoke to ray and he just laugh and told me to go easy on the gas pedal.

Anyway, read somewhere in the forum that you are going to technichi audio. What need fixing? I need to go also as the sound sys really bad. Spoke to them over the phone and they said the basic charge is RM300 for tuning exluding any parts. Good rate?
