Dungun and back


This is the second time we traveled to Dungun in the 407, the other time wifey drove, this time it was me. We both averaged about 140kph on the highway and about 80kph on the coastal road. The 400km journey was a smooth drive for a car as heavy as a 2000cc 407. Twice, we achieved a half a tank usage of petrol and when I compared notes with Peugeot service centre technicians and the man on the street, the general opinion is that that is good fuel consumption. However, I was a bit surprised on the way back I managed to get a more frugal ride... just a few mm before half a tank's consumption.

Did a day trip to bring back our son and all his stuff since UiTM does not have a place where students can leave them during the term break. We traveled at an average of 120kph on the highway and 70kph on the coastal road since we have time on our side and rats... the pinch for recent speeding tickets still hurts. This time, to and fro, from a full tank we only used 3/8 of the petrol which I feel is very good fuel consumption. At that speed, driving the Peugeot 407 was really enjoyable because it shows the 407's character as a superb grand tourer ... smooth and comfy.
