The saying goes.... 1) "Its all in the head" - forget about FC 2) "Its all in the foot" - remove the weights you strapped to you accelerator pedals. Bernard

Try achieving equilibirum, Remove your rear spare tyre and that around you also. i did it for a year, no sweat 1st qtr mark 90-100 km, 2nd qtr mark 110 km 3rd qtr mark 110 km minimum, 4th qtr mark 80 km minimum. Average 380 - 410 km for a 50 ltr tank from empty light up to empty light. sportage or continue or 9 km/ltr only once upon a time, 7.5 to 8.5 more down to earth, above 9 km ? must shuttle along NS or AYE or LIM CHU KANG, SLE, TPE, ECP not much chance with PIE & BKE unless you are going to KJE.

Great,
At least now we know where we are. I will not remove the spare tire since I don't like the idea to call for help when I am caught with a puntured tire.
Besides, I am also lazy and will always leave my golf clubs in my car, so I can go down to play/practise any time.
Thanks for all the sharing, Sebbie.

Master Sebbie, Shall we arrange for some golf range sessions like once a month. I had not been exercising for very very very long long time. Which range do u usually go to?? Who's interested?

Hi All,
So far my best record:
1st trigger +16 L(Full Tank) = distance travel 580km (Pump until the brim) ------ (fuel light not on yet)
I went to refill - 1st trigger stopped at 45L
Average = 580km/45L+16L = 9.51 km/L(I'm equipped with Magic Chip)

Magic Chip use the principle of infrared released magnetic energy. Infrared can make the gas molecules rearrangement and become smaller particles, and then use the energy of the magnetic object to make the molecules rearranged in very short time period and also form the ideal catalysis and absorption Due to the fact that the magnetic object has strong osmotic power and is capable of fast penetration, it can interact with the inside molecules of the gas, enhance the molecule activation, improve the car performance , reduce gas consumption, and increase horsepower and torque force. - increase fuel efficiency by 5-40% - horse power gain by 5-15% - pollution reduction by 5-40% Hassle free Installation There are two pieces of Magic chip, place one on dashboard (big) using non-slip mat & the other silicon it on top of the air filter (small).

That's why it's call MAGIC! Some times, you see, some times you don't. Like David Copperfield's performance.
Cheers, Seb.

Hmmm......i'm happy with my FC so far roughly 400 - 410 km for 50 litre fills. Stays at Octane 95 so far. as for the above mention device.....sounds similiar to MaxPower2 Magnetic Fuel Charger but the big difference is MaxPower2 is installed along the Fuel Line

Hi Guys, For those who are less reaching 10K soon, you will notice that by changing to Fully Synthectic Engine oil will improve your FC. I just change to XRev 5W30 Racing Oil . Notice an up in pick-up, Engine run more quite, more responsive, FC also improve (need to monitor further for FC)

But dun u think 5W30 oil is too thin? What's yr comment? Why aren't u trying the 5W40 instead?

FC improve around 10% - 12% at the moment, so far hit 440 - 460 KM for 50 litre fill.... base on 60% Road 40% Highway. As for the difference between 5W30 and 5W40.... notice engine run smoother and did feel improvement on pickup....more responsive... Yes, it is thinner but as our engine is still new, 5W30 is enough as what i think

Also, i notice the vibration of the accelerator seems not so strong. This is what the X-rev product guy told me to observe any reduction of the vibration as he knows such issue with our ride. Anyone any idea whether our ride accelerator vibration is related to the choice of engine oil ?

I went to X-Rev office at Bukit Merah, there are also a list of workshop carrying this oil. You can find the list of workshop and the head office address at www.x-lube.comFYI, the 5W-40 having promotion for 4L @ $65 but... better called them first to ensure got stock....cos when i went there without calling them..... they said no stock. As for the 5W-30 its is selling 4L @ $85..... Also they do free delivery to your home... as stated in their website Cheers

I have found a company that will supply a performance chip for the kia diesel. Upside an increase in bhp from 113 to 142 and torque from 245nm to 294nm with a gain of approx 6 miles per gallon. ;D Down side £329 (s$987). Will have to think very hard about this upgrade.

I really can't believe some of you guys can get 9km/l.
I tried drive smoothly but my full tank is only 350Km. IMO looks & peformance is acceptable but pick up & consumption is horrible due to the weight.
Maybe that's why increasing sportage selling off.
Anyone knows how much a year-old will fetched?

Dear Fellows Sportage, Let me firstly enlighten all with regards of my new milage attained it's 570KM with petrol pump right to the brim. I am not kidding, No Magic Stuff, No Magnet, No Whatever fuel saving devices on my car. It's original as it is and I can attained that milage and this is an honest experince. Recently I have install a new air filter called Hurricane. purchased at $120. I dun feel there is huge different in pick-ups only slightly but I dun knw if the filter really make a lot of different. So now does Magic really worth it? Let us discusses this. Merkhan.
