Re: F10 M5 Consumption
there is one around clar's residence....
corner of tanglin road and jervois....
but I guess shell or caltex is more straight forward for him.

Re: F10 M5 Consumption
Lol, the more things change, the more they stay the same :laughlik:
Stats for the old E60 V10 daily driving -- avg ~300 km 60l or ~5 km/l with the below settings
Power: P500
Suspension: Comfort
SMG: D4
Consumption drops to 4.5-4.8l if round trip Sepang (including all the hot laps)
At D4, in Singapore driving, car stays at 5th cruising, must go down to D3 (softer setting) to get it to use 6th or 7th

Re: F10 M5 Consumption
My M5 figures are definitely among the worst due to my heavy city stop/start driving pattern. I am pretty sure the bros here will average at least 7-8 kmh per litre (except Reeve). Got a warning sign last week telling me to top up another litre of engine oil, which i did today at MA. Maybe after that oil top up, the consumption will improve

Re: F10 M5 Consumption
My running in i got 6.3km/ltr.
I think we gonna be bros after I run in. I know that for a FACT.
Clar, try switching to Caltex 98 and reset your trip consumption meter.
I dont know why you still use V-Power. It is the shittiest fuel for any car.
I only alternate between Caltex 98 and Esso 98 which is alot better...

Mate,
Why do you prefer Caltex/Esso 98 over vpower? I am curious to know.
I have been alternating between SPC 98 and Shell vpower, simply because they are near my home!

Re: F10 M5 Consumption
I dont use V power cause it burns too fast and there is far too many additives inside that makes combustion erratic and non consistent. Those workshops who have tuned cars on V-power have hit the wall very quick due to the non-linearity of the way the fuel burns. Once they moved to particularly Esso and Caltex, gains were more pronounced due to the upper limit of the tuning potential due to
the fuel. Of course, V power gives you a great butt feel due to the way it combusts but I do not like the mileage it offers and it wears your spark plugs much faster....

Re: F10 M5 Consumption
I second that. Premium Auto Audi did my tune for my S4 and did optimization with different petrols.. they tested all. Drained out and pumped with different petrol.
Esso 98 gave the best power curve. Vpower had one of the worse outputs and readings.

Re: F10 M5 Consumption
Do this test. Wash your tailpipes after each tank of Caltex and each tank of V-power. You'll see the difference.
