    Nice video boet. Tyre noise was a big thing for me too and I also have 18's but once I replaced the factory tyres (Bridgestone) with Michelin PS4 it was a game changer, really. Sure you pay more but silence is now golden :). Your fuel economy is interesting because I see you also used Eco mode (something I never use) and your fuel economy was around 6.9L/100KM. With some passive driving I managed to get as low as 6.3L/100KM as an average but have attained 5.4L/100KM when going from Durbanville to CPT centre. Safe travels my guy and see you on the road.

    It is advisable to fill up in the morning because the petrol cools down throughout night and it's thick, doesn't have density

    • @muhleraymond3386
      @muhleraymond3386 12 днів тому

      Scientifically you are not correct to say it doesn't have density, if it cools down it becomes more dense. Your point is - if it's cool, the consumption will be high (since there's more particles per unit volume in contrast to when it's a bit warmer)?

    • @hloxyman9346
      @hloxyman9346 12 днів тому

      @ when it cools down, there's decantation. Fuel separates from water and you get close to 100% fuel when you fill up in the morning. Therefore, consumption will be less

Free state roads are poorly maintained and are worse than the dirt/gravel roads i travel when in KZN.

    Cape Town drivers are not “bad drivers” per se; at least not in the true sense of the word.. They just don’t understand the “keep left, pass right” concept; and they are too damn slow - they will hog the fast lane doing 40 km/h 😡😡. But heeey I guess that makes them bad drivers because they mess up our time on the road
