    May napanood ako na review about sa mirage G4. Nakuha nila yung Manila to Baguio ng ave fc na 26km/l. Is that true? Kasi baka bias sila kasi review yung ng Mitsubishi. Btw, What are you driving?

    FCs always have to be taken with a grain of salt. we all drive differently from each other.. our routes are different.. etc..
    i have an innova diesel MT, and surprisingly, other similar owners as me that i have compared with, our FCs are surprisingly tightly clustered together, despite the differences in our driving habits and routes..
    i have a new wigo AT, and it's giving me 8 km/li, even as it's still not broken in..

    Bro.,- by how much would you expect to improve the km/L once it's broken in?

    Our Innova Gas AT is doing 8Km/L average with wifey and myself riding almost all of the times,- that means practically, it is doing 16Km/L. for us.. .... Not bad..... [Of course, your diesel fuel is 20% cheaper than gasoline)

    Now our City is doing 10Km/L,- and that's even better for wifey and myself,>>> am not pushing my luck here.... :peace:

    I'm sorry dr.d I'm a bit lost in this part, what will happen after breaking in? Do you mean fc is higher when not yet broken in?

    yespo.. it is the experience of many car owners, that their FC improves remarkably after breaking the car in.. in my case, it took me 10K km to break my car in. that's when it improved from 6-7 km/li, to 9-10 km.li..

    Ibig sabihin kung hindi nagiimprove yung FC mo even after 1k/5k PMS, hindi pa break in yung car?

    either that, or matakaw talaga ang kotse mo. heh heh.
    you might also consider, that your driving habits have degenerated.. or traffic has worsened..

    Thanks sa reply bro. So far, okay pa naman yung FC ko, ave 18kpl (Accent HB). Inoobserbahan ko pa kung mas gaganda pa, yung sa iba kasi nababasa ko umaabot ng 20+kpl eh.

    Having driven it several times... yeah... kaya. All you need is a long enough, flat enough road, and the discipline to stick to 80 km/h, and 26 km/l is a piece of cake.

    To do the 29 km/l they do in other eco-runs, you'll need to stick to 70, lower your AC use... or even forego it altogether, and practice good momentum driving and drafting.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
