looking at the concept of fuel economy from a different perspective, i got my unit at 33km, now it has reached 601km with a total fuel spending of (400+200+500+500+500)=P2100. in computing fuel cost per km [2100/(601-33)]=P3.7/km. for every kilometer this car has carried me, i spent only almost P4 on fuel. does that make it a good product? surely it is, spending P528,xxx.xx (insurance & registration included) is certainly a value for money in a truest sense
to think my mirage still has 2bars of fuel to burn before the fuel gauge blinks at me again
