      how to convert km/l to mpg

      first tank i had 350 km
      and the second tank i got 390
      the third tank i got 450
      now on the fourth tank..

      that up shift light always blocked the view by the steering wheel, how to relocate it ? which wire shall i steal power and hoook it to some sort of led light to mount it somewhere else. , i found that the shift light is somehow useful.

      i have read somewhere says that the aveo also has the so called "VVTI" thing.. is that true ? so it's like vtec ? at what rpm it kicks in, (but i dont find any sudden acceleration at any rpm when i floor it 2nd gear, 3 gear.. but there is some sort of interesting noise around 3000 rpm... ) is there honda dream in the vehicle ?

      and why everytime i upshift, the rpm drops very slowly? expecially when its high rpm

      please excuse the rice,

      2.2 km per mile.. is your car mostly city driven?

      Variable Valve timing is available on many many vehicles in some sort of way.

      i'm not sure what you mean about the slowly dropping rpms, either it is because the ratios are closer together than you expected, or its the way you shift the car (or both).. there is only 1000-1500 rpm change in relation to some of the gears?

      the upshift light on gms is useless imho. it may be illuminated for optimal efficiency based on rpm. but it will most likely make you stall going up a hill if you solely use the light.

      rpm drops slowly when i like...
      first gear, full it, and then disengage the clutch and get ready into 2nd gear.
      when i disengage the clutch the first moment it stayed at the rpm, and slowly drop down,
      it make my hand moves the shifter so slowly,

      i still cant get the point where i can switch the gear and keep pulling

      you kinda get it ?
