Pinakamatipid na Kotse for City Driving

[renzo_d10]

nalilito na ko. hahaha!! basta po ok sa city driving, matipid at Automatic. gas pref. (i heard may bago pong lalabas na hyundai santa fe na AT? diesel siguro yun kaso am a bit wary about diesels, hindi po ba later on nagiging mausok yun? LOL

Hindi naman siguro. 6 years na yung Santa Fe dito sa shores natin, wala naman ako nakikita mausok. Mas magworry ka sa mga mechanical diesels (old-school) kasi sila usually nag-emit ng black smoke.

Pero be cautious din, hindi porket naka-modern day diesel ka puro plus nalang ang meron dun. Syempre marami din cons.

Aren't Crosswinds uneconomical ? I mean, diba roughly the same FC lang sila with the Innova.

Yup. Automatic is so-so in traffic. 6 in heavy, 8 in regular.

Manual up to 10 km/l in traffic.

The Alto can get 15 km/l in city driving.

Worst case scenario I've seen over the years (bad traffic, short trips):

Baseline: CR-V 2.4 AWD 5AT 4.5 km/l

Ford Fiesta 1.6 DCT 6.5 km/l
New Jazz 1.3 VTEC 5AT 7.5 km/l
City 1.3 iDSi 8 km/l
Mazda2 1.5 4AT 8 km/l
Montero Sport 2.5 MT 7-8 km/l
Crosswind 2.5 AT Turbo 8 km/l
Picanto 1.0 AT 8 km/l
Ford Focus TDCi 8.5 km/l
Crosswind 2.5 MT (non-turbo) 10 km/l
Suzuki Alto 9-12 km/l

Highway, non-eco-run:

Baseline: CR-V: 10-12 km/l (14-16 km/l eco run... 17 DOE)

Crosswind AT: 10-12 km/l
Montero Sport: 12-14 km/l
Ford Fiesta 1.6 DCT: 14-16 km/l
New Jazz 1.3: 14 km/l
Picanto AT / i10 AT (don't have city figures for i10): 14+ km/l
Mazda2 1.5 4AT: 14+ km/l
Crosswind MT: 14-16 km/l (16-19 eco run)
City iDSi: 16+ km/l (23 eco-run)
Focus TDCi: 16+ km/l (21 eco-run)
Alto: 23+ km/l (30+ eco-run, DOE)

Really want to save, buy a secondhand Alto 800cc MT.

If you want an automatic... the only automatic that comes close to manuals is the CVT. And durability of secondhand CVTs is very questionable. Most automatic micro-cars are not very economical. Toyota automatics tend to be good... supposedly the Yaris/Vios AT can hit 20 km/l, but I didn't see that when I tested it. My numbers were in the same range as the Mazda2, slightly better than Fiesta. Actually, AT to AT and MT to MT, my fuel economy figures were almost identical between the Mazda2 and the Vios. These are probably the ATs you want to get... not much less economical than the Picanto/i10 AT, but with lots more space and power.

Disclaimer: these runs were in similar conditions, but not absolutely identical, so take it with a grain of salt. The only thing I can guarantee... the Alto is fricking fantastic in terms of economy.

hyundai accent na CRDi, kaya daw umabot ng 20+ km/L yung fuel consumption nun tapos matulin pa hehe. diesel yun.

Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc., the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the Philippines, in partnership with Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation (PSPC), held its Php 100 Hyundai Accent Amazing Fuel Economy Run on July 6, 2008.

The event involved 25 participants composed of regular Hyundai Accent owners (businessmen, taxi operators, drivers and car enthusiasts) who filled up at Shell Balintawak then traveled all the way to Shell Pampanga in an attempt to consume the least fuel.

Through the challenge, Hyundai aims to showcase the Accent's amazing fuel efficiency in tandem with Shell Fuel Economy formulas.

Carlito Dee Co emerged as the winner who traveled a distance of 57.3kms, consuming an amount of Php28.02. He was also able to break the 38.7 kms/liter record of C Magazine editor Tito Hermoso. Various cash prizes were given to the top three winners. Shell Lubricants also gave away items to all participants.

Shell Lubricants, together with Shell Retail, extended its full support to the global tie-up with Hyundai for the success of the event. [Chiro Verano Yap, B2C Direct Sales Account Manager]

another one....

There's a two page spread in today's Inquirer regarding the Hyundai Accent. They have this 100 peso Challenge Amazing Accent Fuel Econo-Run (consume less than P100 for a 50+ km. trip)

The champion only consumed 0.511 liters for a distance of 57.3kms from Balintawak to San Fernando, Pampanga. That's an unbelievable 112.13 kms/li FC! And the cost of fuel? P28.02 --- the toll is far more expensive!

UNBELIEVABLE talaga 112. kms../ liter.... baka naman hila hila yan!!!! he.he...

[glenn manikis]

potek! parang motor lang ah ...

walang sinabi ang motor sa dun bro.. at diesel pa mas mura sa gasolina.... kung totoo ha...

[Retz]

perhaps one of the solution in the increasing oil market price.

Pure BS

112km/li .... yeah, sure.

[EE100shiro]

sa umpisa lang yang mga yan eh baka nga hindi umabot ng mga ilang taon yan mga yan sira na unless kung ipang display mo lang sa harap ng bahay mo

[niky]

112 is impossible. The problem with such ultra-short eco-runs is that variances in fill-up and residual fuel in the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel lines and fuel return lines makes the margin of error bigger than the amount of fuel recorded. Better to do a 1000 peso challenge to minimize the margin of error.

Sadly, I've never gotten to eco-run the Accent. Strangely, when we had the Getz 1.5 CRDi, it wasn't that economical. Just 14 km/l mixed.

[chua_riwap]

112km/liter?

pa'nong pagdadrive ginawa nung driver?
what's his speed?
kahit ata patay ang AC, mahirap yung 112.
