Do you use eco mode?

What petrol you pump?

And also type of roads you mainly drive on? 

I pump shell 98. I send my son to school daily at 7am and traffic is light during that period so I guess that helped in the mileage figure.

My estimate is that my travelling pattern is 50% highway per week.

Our current ride might well be our last Volvo car with an internal combustion engine (if we drive them right up to the end of their COE).

Future electric cars might need speakers to produce some synthetic engine sound in the cabin ha ha. I have driven the BlueSG. The pick up torque is actually impressive but not the sound of it.

Blue SG is actually very noisy for a electric car.

My wife and kids always tell me got Blue Sg car coming before they see it.

haha. The T8 is about that split personality. 

at home, guai guai be as green as possible. occasional swift accelerations to enter highway or overtake road hoggers still allows this car to be very green. 

somewhere else, then maybe that's where the beast will come in. LOL

i think to achieve 4.4s, needs to do manual brake/launch control to achieve. Heartpain to stress the transmission like that. 5s good enough 😃

another plus point, can idle at carpark without worrying about NEA enforcers. haha.

I don't think Prius can hit this mileage? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Think Prius is about 25KM for every liter? But you are right about the beast!

Yup it's the power that comes with the range!

Close but still not there yet. Spec says 22.2Km/L on paper but not sure what the actual figure will be.

How can this, probably a test unit, gets such high mileage despite being only a few days old? And the asking... 🤪

https://m.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=938126

Ha ha ya probably test drive unit that explained the high mileage despite few days old.

Well, CB deal is over.

And also becos of the COS price of $41K tagged to the car. They selling another such unit at 2,200KM but COE at $35K and the asking is $141K.

Anyway I'm sure the price is negotiable.
