One Week On.. Burning More Expensive Petrol

Today I just topped up my fuel tank for the first time after price hike. Not a pleasant experience to see the gasoline amount ticks going up and up (kekeke, very different from watching stocks price ticking up :D ). And it is official, I have gained a whopping 14% mileage efficiency after a challenging week, feel like a champion now. Don't play play. Here are the tips, some are actually from this article (http://talkonlymah.blogspot.com/2008/06/toms-top-pick-this-week-tips-to-gain.html)
  1. Turn off the Air Con - The harder it blows, the more petrol will be burned off. I am lucky that certain parts of my commuting journey to and fro works are smooth enough for me to turn off the air con and open up just a small slit of windows for ventilation. As a guy, can tahan lah.
  2. Go easy with the pedal - Not the piano pedals lah.. the gas pedal. This is tough, for a guy. If you can try not to ramp it up to 3K rpm, that's good for the engine and your pocket. By the way, it is okay to be called sissy driver though. wahahah.
  3. Avoid stop-go stop-go - Traffic lights we can't avoid, but certain points (like stop over to buy newspaper, tapao.. blah blah blah..) can be controlled lah. Sometimes it may require you to walk a bit if you decide to consolidate all the trivial activities. That's good news for a guy, the more you walk, the better blood circulation in your groin area (performance up leh). wahahaha. No offense to female readers, do encourage your bf or hubby to walk more leh... wakakaka.
That's all for now. My next plan is to get a voltage stabilizer as some say it can get about 10% fuel efficiency. Let's see how it goes lah.
