Saving of petrol

oh yeah, before i forget, i have been carrying out an experiment on my own on mileage over petrol filled in my little kelisa. When i first got my car, i have achieved 500km with a 30 litre full tank. But as years passes by, the mileage has slightly dropped until 450-480, which in that case losing to around 20-50km per full tank filled.

what i did after the fuel hike, i kept my driving on the highways to 80-80km/h and rev @ 2000rpm, once in a while for pick up, but changes gear when it went up over the 2000rpm mark. as a result, i'm getting slightly over 500km with my last pump of 29.15litre of fuel. i guess i will make it a habit from now on, no more me the speedster reving around on LDP anymore, i'm a good boy and a slow driver...muahahahaha
