Cape Rachado, which is also known as Tanjung Tuan is located in Port Dickson but it is actually a territory of Malacca and falls under the jurisdiction of Malacca’s Admiral.

“I can cook my own egg”
Harve, that sounds very, veeery wrong. wakakakkakakkakaak, pergh, nak taip pun susah, sakit perut gelak banyak samgat hahahahh
A Chevvy, that’s the first non-Sime Darby car used in the program, rite? Pergh, the f/c can give me heart attack wor
y u no understand SUV heavy?
y u no understand the program called “SAVE with petronas primax”?
4 weeks in, none of cars featured managed >12km/L. And it’s not like all trips are 100% start-stop traffic condition, there’s lots of highway driving. Not a great way to market the brand if you ask me. Or the cars.
Hi tokmoh,
You have to understand that the Captiva is a 4×4 and it’s heavy. Furthermore, as mentioned before, we have extra load in the car. And to access The Dusun, you would have to drive uphill for quite a while.
The figures reflect real world numbers and we don’t tamper, which we could have easily done. Just to compare, even a modern diesel passenger car delivers about 8 liters per 100km and diesel trucks about 10 liters per 100 km. Thanks!
Maybe everyone will feel better if you report scam numbers picked out of the clouds like a certain “fuel efficiency awards”
Sorry for the unrealistic expectation. Well, I guess then it’s a reasonable achievement.
Driving just a junk old Proton that do 10-12km/L, I guess I don’t feel like losing out too much compared to new cars, and I thought my figure’s bad cuz it’s old and well, it’s a Proton.
And I always fill up Petronas too. So yeah, I kinda expected better, turns out I’m wrong. Sorry, my bad.
In any case, I suppose I can say Petronas can do wonder for an old Proton, makes me happier knowing it helps me get figures not too bad against newer cars.
@CTeh: no I don’t want lies, I’m just a naïve dude who’d thought the grass is always greener on the other side. Turns out the truth is a bit difficult for me to digest.
I think this is the first time I see a picture of a frog posted instead of a car in paultan’s blog.
This petronas tries so hard to promote their petrol but I only go there to pee.
When can see both Harve and julie together la?
cape rachado is actually in malacca….erk

so far all FC is acceptable for cars with 2liter or 2.4 engine
