Got my Aspire Prosmatec 1.5 a couple days ago. Thought I should create a dedicated thread to keep a log of any mods I make to the car overtime and add the mileage over time.




Mods:
Replaced stock EuroStar 175/65/15 tires with Yokohama Advan DB 185/65/15
Mileage:
15KM meter reading when taken out of show-room first time.
Initial fuel = 34 litres i.e. 2500rs (@ ~rs 73/litre) May 2015.
2nd Refuel = 33.33 litres - tank 100% filled (42 litres full) for another 2600rs (@ ~rs 78/litre).
Meaning about 9 litres left from first time refueling (42 - 33).
At 2nd refuel, meter reading: 215 KM.
Total traveled = 200 km at 34 MINUS 9 litres = .... 200km in 25 litres.
= 8 KM per litre. (this was mostly in 2nd, 3rd gear rarely in 4th with AC on all the time) - I have been slowly cruising around at slow speeds across outer city roads in the running period and to get to know the car better.
The instant mileage per hour on the car meter easy touches 12-14 km/l when cruising over 40 kmph so its not bad so far.
3rd refuel at around 595km speedo meter mark. last 75 km before refuel were on motor way for first time. before it all travel inside city . this time tank filled with left over in tank from 2nd refuel plus 2300rs petrol at rs 79 per litre . will do the avg kmpl per litre later on when not on mobile

3rd refuel = 29 litres = 2300rs @ 79 Rs. per litre
Meaning, 595km MINUS 215 KM (total speed meter reading at time of 2nd refuel)= 380 KM travelled at in 29 litres till point of 3rd refuel.
Hence Mileage before 3rd refuel = 13.1 KMPL
i.e. [ 595-215 = 380km travelled in 29 litres = .. 380/29 = 13.1 kmpl
---- Updated 18 june 2015 ----
4th refuel at 927km on meter, full tank
total fuel filled on 4th refuel = 2340rs @ 78rs/litre = 30 litres.
Last refuel (3rd refuel) was at 595km.
Mileage calculation:
927km - 595km = 332 km travelled on 30 litres. = 332 km / 30 litres = 11.066 km/litre
about 75 km of these 332km was on motorway, rest inside city and some on GT road which has speeds varying 40 to 60km/hr.
Not bad so far. This is with AC on 95%+ of the time.----- Updated 26 June 2015 ----
5th refuel = 18.205 litres = 1420rs @ 78 Rs. per litre.
Reading on meter at time of 5th refuel = 1128 km
Meaning 1128 km MINUS 927 km (previous reading at time of 4th refuel) = 201 KM travelled in 18.205 km = 11.043 kmpl (this was all inside city driving .. pindi / islamabad)
Comments are welcome.
Any ideas for mods are welcome as well.
I'm planning on getting these H4 replacement bulbs from US next month since another member Umair mentioned having installed these in his city. (Question: will these fit in my city headlights without any cutting of wires etc? I think its plug and play, right? [software guy here, not really my field]

I wish to update the navigation to a better one but it seems for now only the civic has a latest android navigation up and even that is in testing phases from the Tracking World guys.

P.S. anyone knows of any gadgets / mods please suggest and for items give amazon links. I want to add upgrades as long as they don't require breaking / cutting anything
