End up, my FC drop from 11km/l to <10km/l. I've already monitored for two full tank. The bloody FC stuck at 9.5~10km/l. My driving patten never change, 10% highway.
My $ thrown into drain. I'll never trust TCM guys again.

not advisable..... ur tire thread will wear out faster in the middle & given tat stock tires already skidded easily.... u are contributing more postential to skidding with such PSI.
dangerous, so take care.

Ya very agree the stock tyres already don't grip very well. maybe I will increase a little to the front....say 245 and rear 225...
So far this is what I feel when I change petrol
SPC 95 CMI, no power at all so make me squeeze more oil
SPC 98 got power, but burn like no tomorrow, esp when idling or kena jam
Esso 5K....Good power, burn slowly
Esso 8K Good power, burn somewhat quicker?? To be confirmed
Caltex sliver: not bad power, good burn rate, not too quick
Caltex Gold and above: no chance to try yet, too exp.
Shell 95, no diff from SPC 98
Shell 98, no diff from Esso 5K but pricier
V-power, dun think will try until they day I drive to Malaysia.
My conclusion....stick to Esso 5K .... :thumbsup:
