Honda's City and Jazz: Fuel Consumption

[Heretic]

contemplating on getting the CRDi matrix na nga din eh ... makatipid lang sa gas :p

You get better suspension, power, durability and space with the Matrix CRDi, not just her fuel efficiency. She's not just a "cheaper alternative" but a better one imo if your budget is within 700k.

The Jazz kalampag is due to the bushings. The suspension and chassis are very stiff (read:good!), but the bushings aren't up to it. Just like in the Ford Lynx RS. It's not a fault per se, but it's very annoying if your route is pockmarked.

Question lang mga bro,

I just bought a second hand 2004 honda city IDSI M/T. Ang fuel consumption niya ay nasa 9-9.5km lang per liter lang sa city driving. Di naman ako mahataw at halos ayaw ko na nga apakan ang gas. Casa maintained din ito.

Ano kaya ang problema o ang dapat gawin ko para tumaas ang fuel efficiency? Nakaka disappoint lang kasi dahil expected ko around 12-14km/liter ang consumption niya kaya city ang binili ko.

Salamat.

What is your route? Is this your first vehicle, or have you had a previous vehicle that got better efficiency on the same route?

May iba't ibang factors na kailangan isipin tungkol sa fuel efficiency.

1. Route: Kung 1-3 kms lang ang trip mo, the car won't have time to warm up... result: higher consumption

2. Traffic: Your fuel economy can vary by as much as 2-4 km/l depending on the amount of traffic you see every day.

3. Driving style: What rpm do you shift at? Do you wait till last minute to brake? A smooth driving style, with anticipatory slowing down before braking and modest acceleration has a big effect on consumption.

4. Car condition: Given that the vehicle sees regular oil changes, also check the spark plugs, tires, brakes and wheel bearings.

5. Check how you measure consumption. The most accurate way is to measure from full to empty on consecutive full tanks. Also make sure your odometer is not over or under reading.

don't worry...my 1.3 cvt city gets 9 to 10max.

6000rpm shifting on first gear. then just cruise.

jack rabbit start all the time. hehehe

bro, ok lang ba sayo na 9-10kms per liter lang ang consumo ng car mo?

[claRkEnt]

my City'05 (1.5CVT) gives minimum 15km/li. That data is for over 2-year period. It had been a habit to compute for my consumption everytime i fill up (always full tank whenever warning indicator lits up, whenever possible, same station same gas pump). The figure is for combined city and highway though di masyado traffic sa alabang area.

[jjmichaels]

Jazz 1.3 manual 28 kms/liter
Jazz 1.3 CVT 33 kms/liter

One of those Petron runs which we joined from Fort McDo Taguig to Petron Lipa Batangas.

2004 city automatic 1.3 cvt

3 year period, mixed city and hiway driving = 13km/li

[suysuy]

My 1.5L Vtec City 06 gets a max of 13km/L city driving. Havent computed for the highway though

[jicon7733]

ung 04 city vtec ko around usually 9-10km/liter although skul-bahay lang ako. mejo di pa ganun ka-fuel efficient kasi di ko pa napapachek/service ever since binili ko as a 2nd hand car last june 2007.

[Mguy]

I get 10kpl sa 1.3 Jazz CVT ko. Pedal to the metal, hard core driving from pasig to makati.

If I was driving an Optra, siguro 4kpl lang ako.

planning to buy a jazz 1.5 mt or a civic 1.8s mt just want to get feedbacks from jazz owners hows the ride and etc.

medyo OT

re 1.5 CVT:
i had my taste of numerous A/T cars/SUVs, most them hindi smooth sa arangkada at talagang ma aksaya sa gas. Saludo ako sa CVT, optimum gear & rpm for optimum fuel comsumption, be it hard driving or moderate.

I contemplated long & hard and bought a 1.5L VTEC CVT Jazz last November 2006 and i never regreted it. Pero nung bagong labas sya sa Casa (break-in period) hindi sya as fuel efficient as nung nag tagal na sya. Found out that this intelligent engine can even tune it's self, adjusting to the octane rating of the gasoline. (if you get one, attend the orientation, ask how to self tune the car "during driving").
I've fallen in love with the car, no need to further soup it up, the exterior is mabangis & the interior is just superb, All power & things are in the right place. I couldn't notice the car already left/arrived the garage -so smooth & quiet.
More Power to weight ratio beats, the sedan counterpart and with a VTEC CVT it's just soo tempting to floor it. CVT's are so smooth as if you could barely feel shifting gears, youre always at the right gear! be it slow driving, moderate or fast.
I dont need the trunk and if i even need to haul things I have ample space due to magic seats. I've even use these magic seats to flat bed where family members can sleep on long provincial driving.
Safety? the overall team-playing of suspension, all-dics brake, Anti Brake Locks & electronic brake force distribution...just makes my mind at ease, really makes wonders, keeping the car where it should be!!! (compare a nonABS car at high speed, simulate a need for full stop and you'll know what i mean, the difference could be your life and you investment).
Frontal collisions? never experienced it but you can search youtube * 180 kms/hr the cabin is still intact.
But then i seldom go outta town & with manila traffic, most of the time you'll just be cruising at 40-90 kms/hr. lubak lubak pa!
So on my next car, i'll go for 1.3L iDSI Jazz.

hello.
i dont know how to drive manual transmission
kaya automatic ang need ko. wala ako choice.

guys, im thinking of getting a 2nd car
requirement is really fuel efficient, fuel consumption klm to liter is high.

ano mas matipid sa fuel?

a) 1.3 or 1.5?

b) tapos City ba or Jazz?

ako, matipid naman tumapak, 80 normally mabilis na.

thanks ah guys.
your posts tlga ang basis ng mga choices made dito sa forums.

[niky]

The City and Jazz have almost exactly the same consumption. It's up to you which you find more convenient.

The 1.3 is more fuel efficient, the 1.5 is faster.

[wonderloo]

ano yun CVT?
does that mean AUTOMATIC Transmission??

"Jazz 1.3 S CVT PHP 690,000.00"?

thanks guys

:D
