  The fuel consumption alone can can kill you..

  150km use 19L($25 shell).7.9km/L

  Best fc after servicing-12km/L

  Worst fc-6.3km/L

  On average, 9km/L.

  Pump until piss off.

  Last wed-7.3km/L.fil sent work shop next day

  Thur-11km/L

  Friday-9km/L

  Sat-7.9/L

  We always have the practice top up till brim.

  mixture of regional trips or longhaul flights?

  regional trips within town or suburb city do burn alot more fuel than e-way.

  Aldo tried Shell, but seems to consume faster. Esso for my Skoda is sluggish. Many people recommend caltex. I tried, not too bad.....

  end of the day, they just want you to spend more on diesel/petrol.

  getting "green cars" doesnt do them any good.

  that's why the blues only have a few "green" ones for show.

  all still diesel guzzlers......and they sell u diesel!

  a little off topic - is it better to pump at company kiosk or commercial kiosk and enjoy points as well as rebates despite paying a little more at commercial pumps?

  Last week I posted about smrt workshop can do some “reprogramming/adjustment� to improve FC…so the workshop did it for me along with servicing.. Some members asked me about it, so wud feedback that I did see some slight improvement in my FC after tat…From abt 8-9/L to 9-10/L. There’s no significant loss of power/pickup…. Hope this fc will not drop like wat Bro Prof mentioned…Workshop also say driving at constant speed at around 90kph will be good for FC (clear the exhaust as opposed to idling engine/queuing alot).

  Speed on expressway, 90-95km/h.

  Use cruise control.no sudden acceleration or braking done.

  @kenkopishop, I think smrt got do the reprogram.but it will come back again. Taxis should go hybrid.save the environment.

  Depends on which taxi company you drive.If CDG just go back company to pump.lowest price guarantee with so many kiosks around the island.

  For smrt.only 3 refill kiosks. Woodlands/amk/upper changi east (24hour)

  I dun like to waste time (10-20mins)queuing up for refill, my location at kallang also 10km away from upper east coast.

  Unless like that day I use 500km, go at those funny hours (no other taxi in Q)and very near upper changi East. Than I pump.

  Only save $3.50.worth?

  if companies go hybrid, save the environment, but who saves them?

  CDG sells diesel more than any companies.

  hybrid battery change, they need to pay.

  whatever CDG is doing, means best mode for profit making. others just follow
