One-Half Marathon

By definition One-Half Marathon is a road running event of 21.0975 kilometres (13.1094 mi).

To us, "One-Half Marathon" means driving around 750km on a single trip. We usually drive around 1500km or 750km or at least 380km on a single return trip [we call them... full, one-half and one-qtr "marathon" respectively]. Anything less than that we don't call a "trip" and we usually don't follow.

This month we went on a day trip to Desaru from BBBangi. Total distance travelled was 763km.
Despite of holiday traffic congestion we managed to burn less than one-tank of RON95 fuel for the trip (to and fro). There was a "bip" followed by Low Level warning light came in as we approached near Seremban but the remaining fuel could take us more than 100km and sufficient enough to reach our home in BBBangi!
On return trip we felt there was a slight reduction in "pulling power" at high rpm [beyond 4000 rpm]. Luckily we brought along OBD2 gadget and found out there was a "Pending fault - lean fuel mixture at full load". After resetting the "pending fault" the car performed as usual. QED!
