Not forgetting I won myself RM600 Petronas vouchers! woot! I just need to complete a few questions about Petronas Dynamic Diesel and fuel saving tips.

Here’s my 5 fuel saving tips!
1) Do not carry things that’s not necessary in your car that will make your car heavier.
2) Check your tyre pressure make sure it’s always at the recommended pressure.
3) Do not speed at junction or make emergency break always.
4) Check and service your car as schedule.
5) Use the right petrol that suitable for your car.

BMW EfficientDynamics is a continuous strategy by BMW for the reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels, whilst at the same time enhancing the performance and dynamism of their vehicles. After the BMW drive, my perception towards diesel car it’s changed and it’s awesome.

We started our journey from KLCC to Mutiara Damansara Petronas Station. I felt like a VIP and this is probably the only time that there’s a Police Escort me and I’m driving a BMW 5 Series 520d Sports.
