Aoi-chan's Quickie - 22/9/2008

Yesterday marks a month(ish) of Aoi-chan swapping from Petronas to Shell. As far as i can see, the claim that some (and i think even Shell) made about the extra mileage can be confirmed as true.

Seeing how much extra kms she makes per tank (an extra of 20-30km per one segment on the fuel level indicator) is really surprising. The downside is that the engine sounds a bit boomy, especially between 2000-3500rpm. Apart from that, the extra feel of power (maybe an extra few bhp gained perhaps) more than makes up for it... and now, to those of you out there you have my vote for Shell fuel over Petronas.

On with Aoi-chan's health status for last week, it seems that she really needs that alignment and balancing check to be done. Planning on taking her to the 'Doctor' this weekend, before the Raya sprint. The squeaking of her clutch pedal and some of the door component have been fixed with a can of RM8.90 grease/oil spray. Works like magic. Now i feel more comfortable driving her (fast).
