Mine is stock. Last month, I drove on old trunk road at 70-90km/h. One
full tank RM55 (40.7L) can last me 630km+. Smile

Changing rims also will cause increase in fuel consumption? I thought
sport rims make your car lighter and conserve fuel. Anyone out there know
how to jimat on minyak rather than comparing whose care drink more?

MrShaggy, you suggestion for manual can lar but for auto not possible. Go
fast a bit the car rpm already over 3k. What about using those expensive
engine oil like shell helix ultra? Can help to save?

Above 100kph can keep rpm under 3k, for 1.5A, not bad.

For mine, when i reach around 120km/h to 125km/h its exactly 4k. Can
adjust it down? If too low, car kaput in the morning. This is what
happen. Morning time, everytime engage reverse gear, car rpm suddenly
drop to below 500. :-)

I think all these xxx rpm at xxx speed cannot be adjusted. If you want
lower rpm at higher speed, you need to change the gear-ratios in the
gearbox, which is not easy, if not impossible.

This rpm at xxx speed has nothing to do with your idling rpm.

Just my opinion, I might be wrong.

boboi,

i think one can change to bigger rim diameter to lower the rpm at higher
speed. it is not by much though. i might be wrong too Smile
