When I sold my Mazda 6 recently, it was basically the same car that I bought from Mazda five years ago. ;)<br /><br />To improve fuel efficiency is all I wanna do. Thanks again for those ideas. :)AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-49002084511368304112010-10-17T21:48:39.724+08:002010-10-17T21:48:39.724+08:00Most welcomed AK.

I can't remember my friend's Nissian car improvement figures, as he took my advice and spend that $300 to fix up the car.<br /><br />Note that this is about all that I will do. No "ching" or modify the car for that extra horsepower, drill a few holes and change the onboard computer etc. If these recommendations Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-20323937375800669702010-10-17T13:46:03.959+08:002010-10-17T13:46:03.959+08:00Hi Old Hand,

The salesperson said something similar.<br /><br />Accelerate as we go downhill? That is something I have not tried doing before. I always take my foot off the accelerator when going downhill.

You are an expert on the subject! <br /><br />You managed to improve consumption by SO much with the stuff that you did. 25% improvement is very good but you got a 50% improvement for your van! That's amazing! <br /><br />Thanks for all the hot tips. I am noting the stuff down as things to consider doing when my car is 1 year old. ;)AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-23526703081757762202010-10-17T11:27:41.768+08:002010-10-17T11:27:41.768+08:00Hi, hope the followoing comments are useful:

My experience with new cars is that at 30K (yes, 30,000km) they reach their peak/ optimum). So, relax lah.<br /><br />2) believe it or not, better consumption is achieved when you actually accerlerate a little when Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-48777186265202570112010-10-17T03:35:22.144+08:002010-10-17T03:35:22.144+08:00Normally, i would have advised my friends with new...Normally, i would have advised my friends with new car, to drive their new toy as a factory original for 1 year before making any modifications. <br />This way, you will know what the "original settings" were and it's resulting performance.<br /><br />I would have changed the stock air filter to the better airflow & washable K&N.
