    So my suggestion for city peeps...forget your fuel consumption from time to time and when you see some wide open road floor the gas pedal hehe...because IMO it will certainly help prevent SCV failure...

    But then again...there is still our basic SOP's

    like..

    always make sure to refill at a reputable gas station,

    When you see a tanker at a station ask the gasboy if its done loading fuel already...and if not...then probably what you still have in the station tank is "latak"...so proceed to the next station,

    do the proper PMS so your SCV and EGR can be checked from time to time for the mechanic to see its current state...
    yap LR, this is true seeing an open road exercise our strada, feel free to accelerate :D but not too much :party:
