My Honda City

This is one of the most perfectly made angle eyes for Honda City/Fit Aria. It was reported that this was made in China. For those who want to DIY, you can purchase the BMW angle eyes and install it onto your ride. The problem with the BMW angle eyes is that the size is too small for the City/Fit Aria head lamp and will look odd. Also, for DIY, you have to risk opening up the headlamp your self and some forum members complain imperfect sealing leading to water making its way into the lamp.

I’ve found a sweet spot for the City Vtec Fuel Consumption, which is to travel at a 80-90kmph. Recently, I’ve made a trip to the East of Malaysia and had to travel through mountainous and village roads. There were no Highway, and so I had to travel at 80-90kmph all the way. I manage to clock 721km with 35liter of fuel. This is the record distance I’ve made with the My Honda City Vtec. At this sweet speed, the RPM is about 2k and this is also when the 7th gear kicks in. An amazing discovery, and this will be my future travel speed. At times of when the fuel price is high, arriving the destination a little late is ok.

The task to update this blog with every fill details is taking its toll on me, well, I just find it hard to keep up, with almost a fill up at every week. And so, I’ve decided to stop this fill update, since the information does not mean much anyway. Instead, I will replace by updating the mileage and the fuel consumption regularly.

This fill is when we did the convoy from KL to M’cca. I had a full load with my parents and sister inlaw fully occupying the back seat, and also the trunk was filled with bags. It was very hard for me to keep up with the convoy on my usual driving style (light feet). I had to press the gas more and also sometimes switch to ‘S’ mode, to keep up with the other cars which have very little load. This consume much fuel and hence, explanation for the low mileage.
