exactly bro.

sometime I even fight the rule attendant that my fuel is short when I buy 10-15 ltrs

thank u for this
lols,I almost fought one too until i had an issue with d fuel pump, before I changed d pump the reserve light was on, so when the mechanic was changing d pump,I took a peek at the tank, and I was amazed at the fuel that was still inside,so I decided to confirm my findings by making use of d reserve to its max, when I knew ma fuel pump was in danger zone I went to a gas station and bought exactly 15litres, the gauge just gave me a notification that its still functional by nodding upwards a bit, then back to ma reserve light on level,that was how I confirmed I still have 10-15litres when that light comes on.

140+ lols, and dt vehicle was just gliding on as if it was on glacier right ahead of you, d amazing part is,its just a four plugged engine, but it moves as though its gat a v6-v8 engine under its hood.

You know the vehicle so well, do you own or driven one? The speed it churns out is beyond the look of the car. Quite unrealistic.

I think an original complete fuel pump should be around 5k or thereabout... Why not E-test/diagnose your Car, that way you will know where the fault truly is.
thanks. I'll do just that.

3.5L V6 368hp 2010 Toyota Camry.

I never thought a common Kia would have that kind of power to disintegrate the Camry, that Kia has a 274hp I4 turbo.

The car wowed me when it kept up with me at 160km/h. Well have known now not to underestimate any car, I also nearly made same mistake when I wanted to race with a first generation sienna against one old model BMW V8. I didn't even know anything about it until someone posted classic cars and I saw the BMW car among them.

It's actually a 268hp engine.
