Fuel consumption

Refuel with Shell RON 95 today. I think the combination of the new tyres and ATF Cooler does makes a difference on my fuel bills.

Moderate to agressive driving style, about 1 hour of engine idling with aircondition on - 10.7 km/litre.

Happyyyyyyyy!!

Hi enjoy your blog on Ipsum.

As you are the expert in Ipsum, can I share a problem with you?
I recently got myself 240s year 01/05, 2nd hand owner myself. The car seems like petrol-hungry, consumed about 24 litres for only 150km on RON97. This is 16 litres/100km. Very abnormal, I don't do revving at all, just the normal town driving, is there anywhere you can provide any tips on this problem?

I already have the car serviced 2 weeks ago, like engine oil and gear oil.

Thanks it advance.

Hi terrence,

I'm no expert... just enthusiast.

May be you would like to -

1) change fuel - I suggest try Caltex or Shell ;
2) check your tyre pressure - factory suggests 230 / 33 ;
3) check your battery and alternator, their failure cause more burden to the engine ;
4) tuning? ;
5) I really recommend adding voltage stabilizer and grounding cables - Pivot (beware of immitation product) ; and
6) make sure your air filter is clean.

Good luck!

Terrence,

You're welcome. Please visit ipsum club at http://www.myipsum.net

Please check your aircond if they need servicing too. Clogged aircond lead to extra burden.
