Dennis said the fuel cap can only be locked by remote, our console central locking is only meant to lock all doors and boot. He pointed to page 27 of the manual, I don't have the manual with me now, so can't verify.
A couple of months ago I checked on cars at Russo's shop, fuel caps cannot be opened once the central locking is deployed. Dennis said perhaps all cars got problem except my car. He claimed he checked with cars in the workshop, all the fuel cap can be opened when the central locking is used.
It is a safety issue for me given that on many occasions when I was at petrol kiosks, before I off my engine and unlock the doors, the attendant had already opened the fuel cap while the engine is running.
...
The above maths only show the fuel consumption based on distance travelled and fuel consumed, but not the total mileage for one full tank. Thats why I said unless you travel till the fuel goes empty, you can only estimate your one tank mileage![Tongue](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/tongue.gif)

For the first time today, I witness the prowess of the Nuvi. I tried to go from CBD to Ubi, then to Pandan Gardens (C&C) then to AutoBacs (at God knows where)... it brought me thru all sort of roads which I never knew existed... and it got me safely back to office.
I swear by Nuvi now.... wonderful gadget! Esp the Bluetooth speaker phone... wonderful... if only my Nokia's address book can be accessed...

Fellow Senior Member tcc39, thanks for following up! By the way, do you know which part of Europe is Patrick from. I am scheduled for a trip to Denmark and Germany sometime in August. If they are near these two countries, maybe I deal with them there.
Patrick Tan is a local. He is the business manager from NaviCom Technology Pte Ltd. Navicomm is the official distributor for Garmin products in Singapore.
People like Perfect Watch and others reseller (I heard total 4 in S'pore) get the Garmin products through Navicomm. So any thing concerning Garmin product, I think Patrick is the best people we should speak to since PW or other will still have to go back to NaviCom.
For the info, NaviCom address and contact is as follows:
NaviCom Technology Pte Ltd
200 Jalan Sultan #10-03 Textile Centre
Singapore 199018
Tel: 62950996

He told me that Singapore will only bring in Nuvi300 and not the 310 or 360.
They promised to call me once stocks arrived, now that 3 months after and 2 weeks using the Nuvi310, i still have not heard from them at all.
