the weight makes a huge difference, if I remember, parang 1,200 kg lang ata ang altis, ang mazda 3 ata 1,350-1,400 kg. the car has to rev harder and use more fuel for the heavier car

regarding "mali" ang binibigay na fuel: madumi na ang oxygen sensor mo pag ganun. the stock ECU already mixes an optimal amount of fuel with the air - not too rich, not too lean... it's programmed for efficiency, not power.
ah ok. 3 months-to-date pa lang yung M3 ko from Mazda Makati. Ganun na sya kaagad kadumi? Btw, I recently saw some tiny rust spots all over the car. makinis ang paint but the rust is beneath it. inangal ko nga kasi baka ako pa magshoulder ng paint job after the warranty. white kasi kaya kita. Those who have dark colors you may check it baka meron na din kayo. mazda told me try nila kung kaya sa buffing. if not, charge sa warranty and no choice but to repaint it nila buong car. hehehe.
