Thanks to all Bros for the driving tips..

I guess I have to improved on the braking and accelerate gently driving habit of mine so that the fuel consumption will improve..

However, would love to drive the car as if it "stolen"...

I think the challenge is to balance and to accomplish both end of the spectrum, not at the same time of course, but as and when you feel like doing it. 100% either way doesn't do justice to this car.

Great writeup Unker!

I used to be quite obsessed with FC some time back, until I did a small test over a week myself:

1. Drive like the car is stolen: about 6.5km/l

2. Drive machiam my right foot is injured: about 8.5km/l

I was pretty impressed by the improved FC by 2km/l. Then I calculate further...

I average about 1500km per month, just daily commute between home and work and weekend outings.

1500km / 6.5km/l = 230 litres

1500km / 8.5km/l = 176 litres

Difference = 54 litres x say $2/litre = $108 PER MONTH.

Ummm, then I suddenly remembered how much I have paid for my car.

Should I save $100 a month, or should I truly enjoy my car????

The rest is history, now I drive a stolen car everyday!!!

My 2 cts, again....

Bro heng arh!

wifey not around! I also hantam lah!......hahahaha!!:lol:

If can put in GT28 or GT30 lagi best but MB software/hardware quite difficult to crack. MB designers sibey kiam to protect their products. Nevermind, I can wait...one of these days!

They have brought the same M271 from the W203 C180 ML with 143 hp & 260Nm to 204 hp & 310 Nm. Quite a lot they squeezed out of the M271 with the TC. I guess the next change for the entry engine will be probably a 2.0L TC.

But if you everyday whack the car also not ideal, I think... TC and S mode is employed when I'm late and rushing or when some idiots on the roads try and be funny with me! Hahaha. :)
