Off engine while cruising downhill

advantt — Thu, 10 May 2012 08:02:08 +0800

Some say that while cruising downhill for example at MEX highway (from salak selatan to putrajaya), by switching off the engine temporarily and let your car free rolling can save quite lot on petrol, i tried yesterday going downhill without my foot on gas pedal can get up to 80km/h which is quite good, i installed a kill switch, it is easier for me to just flip on and off to get the engine running again. btw, im a slow driver. Is it a good practice? what's your opinion?

7 basic tips of money management

advantt — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 23:23:40 +0800

1)Pay yourself first. Try to put away at least 10% of your pre-tax income into a savings account.

2)Spend less than you earn. While this seems obvious, Americans are notorious for doing just the opposite. Stop spending and start saving.

3)Pay your bills on time. Avoid needless late fees and know how much money you actually have.

4)Avoid debt to the extent possible. Student loans and mortgages can be "good debt", but even then, make paying them off a priority.

5)Set a budget. And live by it. Use a computer program or just a paper and pencil. Whatever works.

6)Set concrete goals. Know when you want to buy a new home, when you want to retire, and how much you are expecting each to cost you.

7)Have an emergency fund. Have at least three months' income (some say six) in a high-yield savings account that can be easily accessed.

hi people, even though u don't have a business, you also can be success in your financial management.
how many of u got this discipline?

Antiseptic vs Anti Bacterial Soap

advantt — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 22:57:32 +0800

Hi, recently I accidentally injured my finger while doing some maintenance work for my car.
Got dirt and grease spilled on the wound. I didn't spare any medical kit neither in my car or in my house.
I used lifebuoy soap to clean the wound and let it dry for a while.

It says on the bottle label, it can kill germs (I somehow feel confident using anti bacterial soap)
Is it serve the same function like antiseptic (e.g dettol, iodine) ?

Thank you

Hybrid car

advantt — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 10:07:18 +0800

Hi, this topic is about transportation technology. I think this will be a very good issue to discuss about.

Yes hybrid is cool, very futurist. but how many can afford them?
We are lucky not to be like our neighbor, thailand which the fuel price is different everyday. RON 95 is the highest grade available there at a price about rm4/liter.
pls google abt XH-150 development. where the heck is this car?

why it is not been sold yet? are pure hybrid car @ EV will threaten the petroleum company?
Prius is way too expensive and perhaps insight may be another cheaper option. Coming soon sonata hybrid will hit the market.
Instead in keep improving the engine efficiency, drivetrain system, why not we talk openly@through government effort@mass media about personal hybrid@EV cars?

I just can't wait to see our first local hybrid car @ EV to be on the street. Malaysia boleh? Yes we can, so many students graduating from prestigious IPTS, IPTA each year.
How to attract them to be a technologist not just expert at gadgetry but to be more on the interest of evolution of transportation technology? Sad about proton, most of the time they only consider first class freshies to be part of their engineering team. The output? you can see already on the street. My level is only at second class upper will never had a chance. I know there are lots of questions here. Hopefully we can share thoughts together.
