Lemme guess. He has an RX8, and wants to convert to NGV?


Or is it the GTR owner who wants smaller tires and brakes?

I really :banghead: when Renesis told me what he read.

There are lots more that Renesis havent mentioned :rofl: .

According to this guy, Higher cc cars definitely better FC than lower cc cars because
the engine power of Myvi 1.5 is higher than the 1.3 Myvi, so 1.5 Myvi surely saves more fuel. Cuz we don't need to step so much on the pedal to gain speed but myvi 1.3 have to :rofl:

Something like that from what I remember.

So according to his concept, a Nissan Fairlady 370Z would have better FC than a 1.5myvi then? :laugh: :banghead:

If our way of measuring FC by pumping full tank and calculate the distance our car can travel with 1 full tank petrol is wrong and just computer calculated formula, then what is his formula or theory? Own Theory and common sense? :laugh:

Not base on facts or anything to back up what he said but totally obvious is just a theory base on his beliefs

I think this is a more suitable facepalm, even cars cant believe what they are listening to...

Surprisingly, I heard that his family owns a car accessories shop. Maybe he thought that he is good at cars but he grasped the wrong concept.

Speaking of RX-8, I saw new university students driving RX-8 to campus. Even adults find it troublesome to maintain the usual service cost of RX-8 and yet this student still drives RX-8 to university.

Haha, nice photo. Maybe if you take a 370Z to compare, he will say different things because the engine cc of 370Z is so much more than Myvi. Maybe he will say this only applies to lower cc cars or something. You know, we can't fathom how a 'genius' mind works. Gotta do this :adore: to him next time when I saw him.

So he was saying that my iDrive all this while just bulls***ting displaying fuel consumption on screen while I was suppose to count how many secs I press d pedal?? Might as well ask him to drive an e60 M5 for better fuel consumption than his Myvi 1.5 :stupid:

Driving BMW? Nice, haha. Well, that is how that guy measures fuel consumption. The faster a car reaches a destination, the better it is in fuel consumption.

If this is what he believes, I don't even know what to argue back with him.

Hehehe, amusing! Should tell the fella about the 1000HP Veyron that will consume >5ltr of fuel per minute at full power. :biggrin:

Even full tank method calculation have to take average of a few tanks to be more correct.

But he'll argue that you'd be travelling a full football field per second worrrrr.. distance travelled much greater than Myvi worrrrrr

So crossing a football field with a veyron can get u bout 10sec which is really fuel saver compare to myvi which takes a minute or two to cross the field? No? LOL

How about SRT10 Viper? That one 8.4 litre....
That's the Viper engine displacement, not the fuel consumption. The Veyron has 8ltr engine but w/ 4 turbos to reach >1000HP, hence need to comsume that much fuel to reach that high power output.

But he'll argue that you'd be travelling a full football field per second worrrrr.. distance travelled much greater than Myvi worrrrrr

:biggrin:
Hahaha, then like Renesis said above, don't know how to argue with him anymore, let him believe what he wants. :biggrin:

That's the point. Perhaps he will say at least Veyron saved some time which is priceless. LOL

Then Agera R and Venom GT also around 1000hp so those are very thirsty as well right? But those two are at 5000cc+ instead of 8000cc.

True, I'm already dumbstruck with his way of thinking. Made me speechless.

SR-71 Blackbird speed exceeded Mach 3.2+ or 3,920km/h. It crosses a typical football field in just less than 0.1sec. That's insanely good fc. This makes 1.5L Myvi looked like a fuel guzzling monster.
Sorry I'm a bit drunk today with a bowl of Japanese green tea now.

Moral of the story? Travel in a plane. More environment friendly. The higher the cc and hp, the better the fuel efficiency. :biggrin:

But lawn mower is not a car, haha. Or you can apply Honda C70 motorbike.
