The low-fuel warning lamp came on again and so I had to visit the petrol kiosk this morning. I chose SHELL 95R (as opposed to SPC 98R) this time round. For the previous $60 (before discount) tank of SPC 98R, I managed to travel 300kms before the warning lamp came on. At S$2.09 per litre, this works out Legacy's fuel consumption to be 10.45km per litre of fuel then. This is only an estimate, as any car's fuel consumption will be influenced by traffic conditions and driving habits.
Now, I am driving on the tank of SHELL 95R fuel. No noticable difference in Legacy's performance so I guess 95R fuel will do just fine for the Legacy. The manufacturer's fuel specification recommendation for my Forester XT is 98R though hence I have no choice.
The Legacy provides a digital "estimated kilometers left on remaining of fuel" measurement gauge at the centre of the dash board. The information could be useful in curbing one's bad driving habits and planning for when to refuel. A word of caution though, the low-fuel indicator came on when it reported 90kms remaining. I didn't want to prove Legacy wrong and so I went to refuel after just 5 kms anyway.
I will have to return the Legacy soon. Just 1 or 2 more blog entries for you to stay tuned to....cheers :D
