There are some minor tricks you can use to tweak it a bit... a grounding kit supposedly helps with throttle and transmission response... inflate your tires more (30-32 psi should give you better mileage) and adopt a more anticipatory style of driving... hang back a little more, let off the gas earlier (coast to stops when you can) and try not to be aggressive on the gas and brakes (I know, I know... impossible in Makati)

Buck up. The old Familia could get 6 km/l... on the highway... ...6 km/l in traffic in a much heavier car isn't that bad.
thanks will try inflating my tires and see if that helps... I do my best on not being aggressive but if i do that I will be late for office most of the time... Jeeps and taxi keep cutting in and out:rant: (thats another topic all together)
