Your car was the ex-car of Optimum boss and his names is Foo, that was the reason I asked why you are not going back to him for the car maintanance...

RM50 for 190km is poor than my e39, sir.

Oic, of course I will come back to Foo just that I think the central lock problem is not the first time, maybe install alarm will solve it. he's a good mechanic indeed ...

What petrol do you use? RON95 or 97? Because RM50 will get you different different amounts of petrol in both cases. My 325i E30 gets me 8km/litre in town and 9.8/litre on the highways.

Im using the cheap petrol...

My e30 also thirsty !!! very thirsty!!! full tank is about RM110... town driving would take me around 240KM....

Wow something is not right.. My E32 3litre with the same amount of fuel worth on Ron 95 will take me like at least 330kms.. What engine are you in now?

either your engine is seriously out of tune, or you're running a fire-breathing monster.

just a suggestion, it would be better to first convert the RM into litres of petrol. This way we can all have a consistent yardstick instead of asking you which petrol you pour, RON 95 or 97. A more accurate way of determining petrol consumption is by sight. This would require you to top up your tank until you can actually see petrol at the fill nozzle. reset your tripmeter and Drive until it;s almost empty or hits reserve and repeat the same filling process, until you see petrol at the nozzle. Take the distance on the tripmeter and divide by the amount of petrol (not cost) you just poured. Repeat the whole process 3 times or more to give a reliable average value.
