  Dear all,
  
  Can you give me some tips that you have tried and it works to reduce petrol consumption?
  
  I am driving a PIcnic. I have heard of Z Stab, OWS Spark plugs and Broquet.
  
  Any confirmation that the above works and any new ideas? Please include estimate cost!
  
  Thanks.

  Get a toyota crown! You can see the taxis using it... just ask a taxi driver whats the distance he drives each day and how many times he pumps diesel each week! Haha....
  
  You will be amazed! Whatsmore diesel is cheaper and has 15% discount, now petrol only has 8% discount...

  umm .. I dun think my dad will drive out of bukit batok , west area . If he drives more it will be around jurong and cck .
  
  Could it be his fuel tank leaking oil ? or his car servicing did badly .

  either leaking fuel or his fuel tank is very small.
