Isis - Petrol Consumption

First of all, my Isis engine is a straight 4-cylinder 1ZZ-FE engine that utilizes electronic control unit to control petrol intake. It consumes unleaded petrol (not diesel if you know what I mean). The petrol tank is about 60 liters (as what I found on most websites that would have Isis information). The price to fill up the tank is roughly around RM100, for I never always fill it up when there's only quarter tank left.

The petrol consumption of this car is about RM0.15 for 1 kilometers. The average mileage per liter is about 13.5 KM/L. The RM0.15 is the price that I would get for my normal daily routine. I drive to work from my house that would take me about 15 minutes to reach or even longer if I'm driving during peak hour, drive down to Kajang to send my fiancee back home which will took me another 40 minutes to 1 hour during peak hour, and drive all the way back to my home, which is another 40 minutes to 1 hour drive, drive to another suburb during certain days in the week that could take about 1 to 2 hours drive, and a lot more. Either during peak or off busy hour, I'll still get RM 0.15 per kilometer.

In conclusion, the petrol consumption is good and it does not compromise any power & responsiveness of the car (even though it cannot run like a sport car :-p).
