in real life application as in pinoy setting,

sa CRDi ko lang nakita naging consistent ang FC namin, and an A/T at that pa.

for example, our previous A/t V6 venture can have an 12km/liter sa provincial long trips, pero sa normal city driving sa Manila 5km/liter, pag nadale ka pa ng bumper to bumper halos less than 3km/liter na lang. this is also true to my Gen1 CRV, grabe ang drop ng FC habang pa-worse ng pa-worse ang traffic situation.

but with CRDi, consistent sya to 7km-8km/liter (sta. fe) regardless kung gano kagrabe ang nadale ko traffic. that alone explains why I will never buy a gasoline car in the future, unless it's a compact vehicle.

alam mo naman dito sa Pilipinas, we are always at odds with nature and timing. most of the time, kala mo clean free drive * home, bigla ka madadali ng grabe traffic like katulad sa INC thread or may nagbanggaan or may nasiraan na six wheeler at 11pm.

with the CRDi, you get to even the odds lalo na kung every liter counts.
