Sony 1st Gear September 17, 2005 Share September 17, 2005 Add a brick under your pedal lor. Now you can be as heavy footed as you want. As for "modding", Bro. Erikkson is correct, you will be spending more rather than saving. And will the saving cover the amount you spent on the mod? Anyway, i think this have been discussed quite a few time before and the BRICK is the usual reply, except that this time, it's suggest by me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilahonda Clutched September 17, 2005 Author Share September 17, 2005 true to a certain extent.....modding to save fuel cost $$$ but its money well spent.esp. in the long run.spent $$$ now, save $$$ lots latter.can't help it,but im tinking of buying some fuel saving device coz a full tank will only get me bout 350km and my engine bay is a virgin.help!

Car is totally stock, unless one considers sports rims (a set of 2nd hand Toyota rims) as a lightweight mod over steel rims. And like u, a pretty light right foot 15.89km/litre on a Mitsubishi Lancer...believe? other "save-money" mods...remove the rear seats, remove front bonnet, over-inflated tyres, empty the boot save for the spare tyre a lady Proton driver thanked me for solving her "slow pickup" woes...by emptying her boot of...u know...ladies stuffs.

Sparcoray Clutched September 17, 2005 Share September 17, 2005 light-footed is the best mod! Move off gradually from start is the best... pressing down the accelector to make ur car pickup faster is gonna to burn more fuel to gain the pickup. Enjoy whatever ride u have... any mods will makes ur FC goes down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even slim down 20 kg would help a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanceteo Neutral Newbie September 17, 2005 Share September 17, 2005 Let me tell u. there isnt much modifications tat one can do to improve ur fuel consumption. all those magic jet this this tat tat, might not really helpl much. dun floor ur gas pedle, keep below 2.5 rpm. learn to plan ur rides and there are many other ways of saving petrol. so far i think the only gadget that actually makes sense it to instiall a voltage stabilizer and grounding. but u wont get drastic difference. any VS will do.

Sony 1st Gear September 17, 2005 Share September 17, 2005 But with public transport, you will face another set of problem! no taxi.. how come bus still not here.. bus here liao but overloaded already.. ok, manage to get up the bus but air is too .. sigh.. do i really need to describe it!! Raining and even with umbrella, you still get wet.. Carrying a lot of things, how? no taxi and bus stop is like miles away.. How to watch midnite? and if GF stay Bedok, you stay woodlands. How? Take cab from orchard to bedok then to woodlands? I think the charges would be enough for my 1 week petrol liao. And you try taking public transport during peak hour, it took me less than 30mins to get home by car and more than 1hr 30mins to get home by public transport and I'm too tired to do anything after that. Work out how much you earn in an hour and maybe you will find that the 2 hours (to and back from work) you save is worth a lot. Need I say more? Flintstones? Singapore's road very hot leh, must have very thick sole when you brake. Anyway, it's just my own inputs. No offences to your suggestions.

Sony 1st Gear September 17, 2005 Share September 17, 2005 I think we have already told you, but in a more subtle way. I.E. there's not much mod you can do to save fuel and even if there is, the cost of doing it will offset the saving in future. Moreover, you have to pay upfront for the mod but the cost of fuel can be spread out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
