(From a guy got 7km/L highway driving from a Mirage G4 )
Fuel Efficiency depends on the driver, hence please refrain from posting "I made XXkm/L on my XXX"

medyo mabusisi.

"what on earth does 'points' mean?"
do we have to consult a codigo, to tell us how many km a 1000 peso load of fuel will give us?
heh heh.

my 96 centavos' worth.

From the article:

The fuel efficiency numbers on the list will be based on the reviews that we have of the vehicles and will be tallied in terms of points for their respective fuel economy numbers. This means that if a vehicle gets 8 km/L in the city and 16 km/L on the highway then it gets a total of 24 points. In the event of a tie, the vehicle with the higher city fuel efficiency number will take the win. If there are two variants of the vehicle tested, then the model with the higher fuel efficiency figures will be considered. This will better represent what the vehicle is capable of in terms of giving you the best mileage for as little fuel as possible.

by the same token,
5 km/li in the city and 19 km/li in the highway also gets 24 points...
as does does 10 km/li in the city and 14 km/li in the highway.

Ilang beses ko din binalikan yung article, wondering why the Accent Diesel was not included...

we have below is a list of the most fuel-efficient sedans we’ve tested

they qualified it with, "...the cars we've tested...".
they did not say, "the cars available in the market".

also, perusing the link,
all the cars mentioned are gas-fed sedans.
although the altis hybrid seemed out of the water, as it's a... hybrid.
they did not include the non-sedans, i.e., the mini hatches... wigo, mirage, celerio, eon...

questions arise regarding that article's intentions...

I don't understand why they had to do it that way. Meron naman formula for getting a combined fuel economy number given the city and highway mpg. For EPA ratings I believe it's 55% city 45% highway.

At the very least they should have divided by two to get an unweighted average km/li.

Yung drive namin nung Wednesday from Pasig to Samba Bluewater in Olongapo, nag-average ako ng 15km/l. 5 adults + 2 kids then some bags. Mobilio CVT pala gamit namin. Average 1400 rpm lang takbo the whole drive.

16.9km/L on an Almera, city and highway driving combined

Anyone who knows an Almera owner to check if the figures mentioned is achievable by a normal driver?

I bet they do not idle their engines in the parking lot

Based on my experience, cruise control will only give you fuel efficiency if you use it on long stretches with light traffic, like STAR tollway or NLEX going up north. Kapag mga SLEX lang, usually hard braking sya kapag malapit na sa car in front tapos hihiritin naman nya para ma meet ang set speed mo. Bad driving habit ang labas nya.
