[QUOTE="Egon-E39, post: 297678, member: 8754"] It also depends on the petrol. some station will give lousy mileage while others gives better mileage. I know a person running a station and he tells me to fill up only on weekdays eg Wednesdays. Reason:- 1.Diluted petrol supplied on Friday or eve of public holidays to be sold over the weekend or holiday. 2.Enforcement officers do not work on weekends and holidays. So better profit for low quality petrol. 3.If fill up on weekdays, likelyhood the officers may jump on them risking their license being revoked. I asked why he dilute petrol. Reply was for better profit and others are doing it as well. Another factor is the gear change. On normal driving, the gear change to 4th at 45km/h and 5th gear on 70km/h this will reduce the rpm from 2000 to 1500rpm. so will give savings to u. ponder about it give it a try. [/QUOTE]
