Don't waste those fossils !! Philips

Many many years ago ( about 1 zillion-trillion-maralion-megalion years) ago. A lot of trees, human, robots, computers, aliens,
dinausours, Godzilla, LCD monitor died and got covered in earth.

With the great heat + pressure + as time goes by. Some of these
became diamond, some of it was ate by bacteria, and some of them
ultimately became Petroleum. A few hundred years ago human found
that Petroleum could be turned into Engergy and some by products
like, soap, wax, petrol, diesel, gassoline and lubricants. Hence people
started systematically way of drilling these petroleum for industry
purpose.
That is to drill in Big Scale. OPEC is producing about 27.5 million
barrel per day of petroleum right now and the price of petroleum
stands at USD 58.00 per barrel. New record.

However,

Petroleum is a type of energy that we call "non renewable energy".
Unlike wind, solar, hydrogen, water dam. Once the Petroleum is
depleted, we have to wait for another few zillion years for them to
be reproduced. Hence, I hope everyone could save these fossils
and don't use it like there is no tomorrow like that.

And one of the way to save petroleum is to drive / cruise your car
at the highest gear possible everytime when you drive. How to do
that? I'll elaborate them.

Errr.. Automatic gear transmission car would have hard time to do
this. But manual car, is easy as 1 2 and 3....

See everycar has a cruising speed which helps you to maintain max
distance, using minimum of petrol, provided you are using the correct
gear ratio.

Ok let's talk about Proton Wira 1500 cc. According to it's manual book
provided when you purchase this car.

( And how many of you did read your car manual? I found that general
Malaysian has the habits of NOT reading the manual, specially a car )

If you drive and cruise at 5th gear at the speed of +/- 90kmph.
Your car would be in the condition of maximum distance using smallest
amount of petrol.
Like this you could clock 1 km with RM 0.10 or RM 0.11 of petrol.

If you drive and cruise at 5th gear at the speed of +/- 150kmph.
Your car would actually burn/ and consume more petrol.
Like this you could perhaps clock 1km with RM 0.15 or RM 0.18 of
petrol. yes ! More epensive.

Hence, from today onward. read your car manual and be a smart &
cost saving driver.

Don't be like some Ah Beng and , no care of anything just hit the
gas and make the RPM as high as possible. A waste of petrol and
produce alot of fumes + noise only.....

And a Mercedes E260 automatic transmission 1992 model has a sweet
spot of 120kmph at 4th gear ( automatic ).

Remember :

1. Always ensure that the RRM ( Round per minute ) at your speedo
meter to be as low as possible when you drive, with correct gear.
2. Always ensure you are using the highest possible gear to cruise.
5th gear is always the most economic gear, when you cruise.
3. Make sure that your engine air filter is clean.
4. Make sure that your spark plug is working fine ( 4 or 8 of them ).
5. Tyre pressure should be moderate.
6. Release parking brake 100% before you move.
7. Don't put any bagage or stuff at your car roof top, like going to
open shop at Pasar Malam. The air resistance is so great that you
are like throwing money out of your car. Especially long distance drive.
8. Ensure engine has good lubricants and works fine.

Well, basically as long as you drive carefully you wouldn't miss all these
points.

Cheers, smart drivers !! Go go go !!!
