Hi Ponder Choco, NYC_Micra and King Mariot,
Thanks for your advice. When my fuel reached the one quarter mark,
I filled the entire tank with another 31 litres of 95 grade petrol.
Reset the trip odometer and when fuel gauge reached the one quarter
mark again, I realised that the total distance travelled is 295km.
Thats how I derived the 9.5km/litre.....
I tried to step my accelerator harder over the past two days,
realised that the pickup is faster but still felt that it took
longer time to change from 2nd to third gear. I also realised that
by stepping on the accelerator harder, it drained out my petrol
faster than before...Now in a dilema whether I should just tap the
accelerator lightly or I should continue to floor it harder.
I was on my way out from the car park in Tampines Mall last
Saturday. The slope was gently steep. When I was ready to drive on
from almost the top of the gradual sloop after applying the foot
brake for a minutes, I realised that my car was sliding backwards
for some distance the moment I released my foot brake. Really
caught me by surprise because I have not encountered such problems
before in the past with other cars. Have anyone of you encountered
something like this before?
Looking forward to see all of you on this coming Saturday.
Cheers,
Tweety
