[QUOTE="satria_95, post: 1130750, member: 1506"] naoto_joe, I have this idea that proton cars with auto tranny consumes more petrol than other cars with the same spec. And I have this other idea that the way the auto tranny works somehow makes it consume more petrol. More to that, I've also heard that proton auto tranny gearboxes are not reliable, to a certain extent. I can't give you any comments on proton auto tranny but I could share with you mine and how I save fuel. I drive a 1.6L satria with manual tranny. The only thing I did with my car is replace the stock air filter with a K&N replacement filter (the square one). Then I open one end of my filter box and strap the K&N filter to the air flow sensor part of it. Now, it has became a DIY open pod air filter. Coming back to fuel consumption, I tried driving at a very slow pace. I changed gear at 1300 - 1500 rpm. Nothing more than 1500 rpm. And I maintain a highest speed of about 90kmh. With this driving style, I managed to get 70km for RM10 worth of petrol, priced at RM1.62. I use Petronas petrol. So there, that's my part of the story. Hope it helps, somehow. [/QUOTE]
