Better not use Slang language Like(Damn... this is becoming one of those dreaded Fuel Consumption threads!).

Wijesinghe.

Thank you. But there is already a moderator here who will advise if the language is unsuitable. Help is NOT required. That will be all.

Thanks, and yes, this has all the gizmos thrown in... But then they all do. This was on the road 38.50. Yes... what you see is correct. I went with a full tank and pumped 12 liters back to fill up

this is not new and afaik was there in citroen ds as well. It's nothing but activating the clutch electronically or using hydraulics when needed. Chinese car lifan too has this semi automatic box with auto clutch. Remember old c90 and chally bikes? They too had this but mechanical. Please do google a bit more for elaborated diagrams.

is it similar to tiptronic??

triptronic is having an auto box with the ability of selecting the gear literally. But when you slow down it'll down shift automatically to the appropriate gear. Where as this is like having a manual box with automated clutch.

That's becasue last time 'SOMEONE' did a power slide in our truck, HE wrecked an innocently parked 121!!! :action-smiley-060:

I got the fotos to prove it!!! ha ha ha ha!

So now that SOMEONE owes ME a power slide in that lovingly restored FIAT!!!

Park Street I believe? Stones throw away from Lanka Hospitals.

not for long...i think browns group is getting the fiat dealership.

they have put up signs near ibbanwala junc for a new showroom...

news is that they will be bringing down sedans as well...the linea!

there's a chance that they might get alfa dealership too... afaik...euromotors too wanted to get the alfa dealership but somehow it quite didn't happen
