The trip back home was uneventful enough. It was on the eve of Hari Raya. After filling the car tank with RON 95 and the 4 tyres with air at 240 KPa pressure, Zul took over the wheel, giving excuses that I would be too sleepy to drive, in spite of the fact that we left the petrol station at exactly 5.00 pm. Odometer reading at the station in Subang Jaya was 21,875 km. The end odometer reading was 22,377 km. So I have travelled a distance of 502 km. and had consumed RM 89.73 worth of petrol. Petrol consumption was therefore 10.6297 km per litre or 29.5638 miles per gallon.
The drive home to Chepor was marked by an error in navigation. As it was already dark by the time we reached the site of the old toll booth at Ipoh, Zul took the middle lane and completely missed the road that would take us to Jelapang and then to Chepor. Instead we found ourselves going through the tunnel, past the Perak River R&R, and had to make a U-Turn at the Kuala Kangsar exit. We reached Chepor about more than an hour too late.
Just imagine, for about a year since the last Hari Raya trip, I have travelled for 2,337 km only. No wonder my battery conked out twice, and I have wasted money on roadtax and insurance !
