Blinking lights

right....this is a guide for all standard 1.3 myvi drivers (and i mean tak tukar rims lagi pon).

Ever wondered how far you can go after the fuel light started blinking?

well last week i was talking to maryam's bf goin back from sarah's birthday dinner. His fule light was blinking and i asked "sempat tak kita nak sampai subang ni bai?" He replied "errm..sempat kot..aku baru isi spoh hengget before i left subang" (mmg sempat sampai la kan) .......he continued "tapiii..aku gi shah alam dulu la sebelum aku dtg KL". GULP!

He's a new driver, so otai lama kene la kasi tunjuk ajar skit kan.. i said to him that i'll usually reset the trip meter once my fuel light starts blinking. And from there, you have about 30km to go (becoz 1 bar is approx 30km) before you have to desperately (and probably start cuaking) search for a nearest petrol station.

BUT tonight, I had the chance to know how far you can ACTUALLY go.
you have a reserve tank of 12 km kawan2!

My Black Maria stopped at 42km after the lights started to blink.

And how do i manage to know this you ask??

1. tinggalkan keter anda dah nak dekat 'e'.
2. ada mindset "dont worry, jauh lagi keter ni bole pegi...lek sudey
3. pegi shell yang along the way.
4. only then found out yang you left your wallet kat bilik kat uia.
5. sedar yg all ATM cards tu semua dalam wallet kau.
6. pegi isi tayar angin alang2 kat situ (do you know you consume more fuel with tayar kurang angin!).
7. bace doa byk2.
8. off air con + bukak tingkap kecik2 (nak save minyak and reduce the drag).
9. keep the revs at 2 at all times (kalau jarum rpm naik turun lagi byk,lagi byk la dia minum).
10. talk to your car, and explain how embarassing it is tesadai habis minyak.(black maria didnt wanna let me down didnt she!)
11. brake as less as possible! so that you maintain cruising speed (ade taxi kene flash mcm org gile pasal tibe2 kluar block jalan aku).
12. ikot jalan yg ada byk petrol station as possible.
13. and pray to God.
14. and bile rasa the car mcm gegar lain macam, take a pit stop kat nearest station.
15. pray to God that you've been a good boy.
16. bile try nak start balik keter, keter gelak balik kat kau.
17. and thank God AAM (Alan & Adam Malek) berdekatan sahaja!

Thanks to Alan & Adam for saving the day!
