V power indeed gives our marchies more power compare to 95 / 98. I do pump Vpower when it comes to weekend... but weekdays 98 is good enough. i always pump half tank during weekdays... keeps the car light and achieve more..! hahaha...!
1 L petrol is abt 1kg weight !

Just a thought on fuel saving.....
If i fit in
1) split fire spark plugs...i save 5%
2) Those magnetic clamps on the fuel line ....5%
3) high flow air filters .....10%
4) brocquet ..... 10%
5) those electrical fitting that cuts the charging off .... 5%
6) Oil treatment to make my engine smoother
7) high roll tyres ...... 5%
8) spoiler kits to make my car more aero .... 10%
9) cyclone kits ..... 10%
10) electrical air compressors to boost my air intake ...10%
total : i save 70% fuel comsumption.
So if i put in some more gadget, means my car gonna run on air?
:D

wow, how many of those u did fit in your car? Guess we need to think of the benefit and cost to see if the benefit justifies the cost. Hmm, thinking like an engineer again or rather accountant :rolleyes:
