I actually wouldn't expect a D-Max to run more than 18kmpl, altough 15kmpl would be more reasonable for freeway-driving. In city traffic 10kmpl might be reasonable.

18kpl sounds decent.

but ofcourse, mas mataas ng km/liter, mas maganda hehe

I dont know how he got that, or if kinabitan ba ng unichip yung dmax niya to achieve that kind of FC. pero meron ding recent news that a DMax reached up to 24 kilometers per liter D-Max runs 1,844 kms on one full tank | The Manila Bulletin Newspaper Online , but then again, ito na yung highest recorded FC ng DMax.

maybe for the average person hindi talaga makakaabot ng ganun.

Ah yes bro. That is with the 2.5L 4JA1-L D-Max on an eco run so mostly highway driving through the provinces with speeds mostly around 60-80km/h. An insanely frugal engine + large 76 liter tank = humongous Honda Jazz humiliating 1844kms range.

But then with a D-Max 3.0L M/T, you should still be getting excellent gas mileage. If you installed a chip you would be getting even better performance and gas mileage.

For pure city driving, 10 km/ltr sounds reasonable for an ordinary city driving. 18km/liter for highway driving naman. This features are based on bone stock diesel powered pick up truck na manual(in any brand)

We have to take in consideration that this eco run was organized by isuzu phils and the vehicles used were also isuzu phils owned. Unlike with the previous isuzu eco run, isuzu owners were given a chance to join the contest where in we can take the average of all the competitors to get a decent figure. Since the dmax used comes with a computer box, its was configured to optimized fuel efficiency over performance plus there were settings which is not applicable for daily drive like high tire pressure, minimized aircon usage and low rpm shifting. Im not quite sure with regards to weight trimming though, anong puede trim down sa dmax? Magaang na yun dmax among other brands.

That particular D-Max, being a 4JA1 unit, has no computer box. AFAIK the aircon was set to 1 for the entire trip. Low rpm shifting, you can adapt on your daily driving.

My bad, i thought they used DMAX LX model which comes with a 4JJI engine.

**GTi** · February 28th, 2012 10:58 PM

The LX 4x4 used the 4JJ1 engine. By the way, can anyone here find the results of the D-Max 3.0? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I know both the LX 4x2 and LS 4x2 M/T participated.

i respectfully disagree mga sir.

the Dmax LX uses the same 3.0 liter engine as the Dmax LS. The only Dmax with the Crosswind 2.5 liter 4JA1 engine is the Dmax LT 4x2. Because the Dmax LT 4x4 uses the 4JJ1 already

"The D-Max LX is powered by a 3.0 liter CRDi tubo diesel engine. It has a 76-liter tank capacity, giving the impressive distance of 24.26 kilometers per liter of fuel."
