My Honda City

I have not been updating on the fuel consumption since early in the year, but I am still keeping tabs. Above is the latest fuel consumption figures up to May. The average is still hovering around 14.5km/l. It seams like since the last service, the km/l is trending up. But lets monitor how this goes. I will also compare between the previous service and this service to see if there are any difference in consumption. For the latest service, I have used my own Idematsu Fully Synthetic oil instead of Honda Service Center’s Vtec Fully Synthetic oil, which was reportedly to be Idematsu also.

It has been some time since I shared on my car fuel consumption performance. I have device a new method of computing the fuel consumption. What I do now is to pump a fix value each time, in this case, I always pump 26.04 liter. This value is based on RM50 @ RM1.92/Liter. For each of the fueling instances on the x-axis, I pump 26.04 liter and drive the car till it’s empty, which is till the light comes up and the indicator go to the lowest, most of the time hitting E and below. Then I pump 26.04 liter again. I find that by doing this, the fuel consumption are pretty stable at the average of 14.5km/liter and a Standard Deviation of 0.59. My stock tires which are Goodyear RCT are going bald and I will be changing them soon. Currently I am eyeing on Continental Contact 2 or Michelin Preceda 2. The Tires manufacturer always claim that their tires safe fuel, etc.. well, I will be putting them to the test. I will compare the fuel consumption before and after the tire change. Since I will be changing all 4 tires at one go, it would be a good estimate to see if what the manufacturers claim are valid. Oh, by the way, instance 2 and 3 was Caltex Techron and the rest were Shell Super.

Alex Allied have finished with his upgrade, and this is the part 2 of the series. Also, he has painted his car Bluish Silver White. Wish I have the cash to spend on my car, there are loads of things I want to do. Firstly, is to get a nice head unit with GPS, then a nice bodykit, next would be on the engine, and that would have to be after the warranty period expires. That’s my wish list for years to come.

Alex Allied have recently done up his audio system and have quite a detail sharing about it on his blog. Check it out.. Pretty awsome..

The half black top caught my eye as I have not seen such a combination. Usually only the roof or bonet that is black but in this case, half the entire top is black. Quite a nice looking car and the mods made on this car is tremendous. The entire front seat sacrificed for the NOS, I love to zoom on this car…
