Raya Day 1 - Route: BBBangi-Seremban-SAlam-KL-BBB
Drove around Klang Valley. 308 Turbo consumes almost 10% more fuel than it takes out of RON97 on start-stop short distances urban driving. Probably due to severe traffic jam.
Raya Day 2 - Route: BBBangi-Raub-SKoyan-GMusang-KKrai-Machang [447km]
Drove from Bdr Baru Bangi to Machang at predawn via Bentung-Raub-Sungai Koyan-GMusang-KKrai. Seemed like no other car was on the road.
With family members in the car, I drove like a 'real' uncle - mostly on auto cruise between 60~100km/hr, averaging 78km/hr on approx. 450km journey in 5hr 45min.
Fuel consumption was 30.8 liters of RON95 [RM55.44], i.e 12.32sen/km or 6.9liter/100km or 14.5km/liter or 41mpg.
On RON97 normally 45mpg or 6.4liter/100km could be achieved whenever I drove economically like 'et. Looks like 308 turbo consumes 5% more fuel on RON95 diet. Apart from that I experienced some reduction in pulling torque. Probably the car was fully laden. Not sure untill I'd carried out fair tests under the same conditions to compare the performance between running on RON95 and RON97.
Raya Day 3, 4 & 5 - Route: Machang-PCondong-PMas-KB-PCB-Jeli-BMelintang-Machang [361km]
Drove 361km in three days around and trapped in infamous Kelantan Raya Traffic Jam especially to the 'TT de KB' @PCB.
The Turbo engine was also celebrating Raya and enjoying drinking RON95 at 9.6liter/100km or 17.28sen/km or 30mpg when driven in Kelantan.
Day 6 - Route: Machang-Besut-Penarik_Beach-KTrengganu-Kuala Brang-Jabor-Kuantan [351 km]
Left Kelantan towards Kuantan to stay overnite @ Gambang. The traffic between KTrengganu and Kuantan was very slow and congested. Crawled at below 70km/hr most of the time, and had to burn extra fuel up to three times more than normal during overtaking clusters of five to ten vehicles at a time... really appreciate the 240Nm of torque!
Raya Day 7 - Route: Kuantan-Maran-Jengka-Karak-KL-BBB [300km] .
This was the final sector. The real test which covered almost all driving conditions - such as auto-cruise economy driving, high-speed chasing, small roads [bypass to Jengka], slope climbing, and lastly damn heavy traffic from Genting Sempah all the way towards and on MRR2 and Seremban Highways...
...giving average fuel consumption of 8.2liter/100km or 12.2km/liter or 35mpg.
Summary:
In seven days I traveled almost 1500km. Average fuel consumption for all possible driving conditions on RON95 was 8.0liter/100km ...
... or 12.5km/liter or 14.4sen/km [@RM1.80/liter of RON95] or 35.5mpg.
