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!
Thanks a lot Mobile Blogger,
I will keep note on your tips, very very helpful.
Keep up all the good works... or blogging.
Thanks again
Terrence
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.
My engine light on the dash board is lighting. what could be the problem.
