Top 5 Most Fuel Efficient Cars?

[niky]

Actually, mas matipid pa yung Hyundai Accent/Getz... smaller engine.

The Focus TDCi demonstrated 16.35 km/l in a "simulated" city run alongside a H**** C**** 2.0 at Subic. The 2.0 MT H.C. only got 6 km/l on the same run.

The controls for the test were very straightforward... the fuel tanks were disconnected, and the fuel rails were connected straight to a hood mounted fuel tank to prevent any cheating or inaccuracy in readings.

During the media event, they achieved 20 km/l in the stop-and-go low speed Subic Freeport area.

This points towards a probably average of 13-16 in metro traffic. I believe the Accent/Getz are capable of 20 in traffic.

Of course, the only sure way to do this test is on a closed course in controlled conditions. I have little faith in fuel economy runs. For one... too little fuel is actually used for the short eco-runs for accurate gauging, and for another, driver-to-driver differences can cause a ton of difference in recorded economy. During the Honda runs, we've seen a range between 14-29, with many falling around 23, in traffic. Thus, I don't put much faith in the DOE tests, because a freak driver (say, Paul Tiglo, who holds the record for Honda's Eco-runs at 40 km/l...) can make one car stand out above the rest.

almost all diesel CRDi ngaun fuel efficient and cost effective.

if you want a gasoline that has that factors, small cars up to compact sedans lang talaga.
