Do the math, driving in Manila is horrendous for fuel economy hehe.

sometimes I envy those people living near and still patronizing Rockwell mall and the entire Rockwell center. they have their own stress-free little world there.

Naaala ko tuloy noong 1992(not sure) presidential election si Osmena ata yung may sabi na kailangan de-centralized ang pilipinas ibig sabihin eh di lang metro manila ang dapat major hub ng pilipinas...parang tama siya ngayon. bakit ba nag ka-crowd dyan sa manila. pwedeng pwede naman itayo sa mga probinsya ang mga offices and businesses...

Because the infrastructure isn't there to decentralize, such as roads, phone systems, rail system, electricty, etc. The government would have to fix the major highways going to these areas first so that there can be a reliable way to bring supplies and products, develop the rail system so not everything is trucked in, develop the ports to allow more efficient shipping through water. Electricity to the areas also need to be reliable and available to encourage business to move there, telecom service also needs to be upgraded. As it is now the 25% of the population of the Philippines lives within the Metro Manila area, that's 15-20 million people packed like sardines. The Subic area would be a great place for manufacturing to move because of the port there. But are the other things available also to encourage companies to move their operation. Can they manufacture in Subic and ship local goods to Manila though rail or trucks w/o delay?
Business will not move to the other areas if it will cost them more to move and operate there. Most will take the initial expenses for moving but they have to be able to operate reliably and efficiently after moving to cover the cost of moving. So until the infrastructure is fixed most companies will crowd itself in the metro.

Nasa lampas P40 na pala gas ngayon. In my car, that means P7 per km - city! QC - Makati = P105 Grabe, kung feel ko mag-Rockwell e 5 packs ng yosi ang travel cost ko, wala pang wear & tear! Buysit...

What our country needs is more selflessness and less selfishness. :sigh:

[GlennSter]

Most new under 2.0 cars in the US get around the 28mpg city mark, that's around under 11KM/Liter... 1.6 cars like the Mazda 3 or Altis get an average of 13km/li while a 3.0 liter Japanese car like the Camry gets 20-25MPG city or around 8.5KM/Li...

Samantalang satin 1.3 liter cars like Vios only gets 13-15km/li, 1.6 cars gets around 9-11km/li and 2.0 cars get under 7km/li hehe...

Wala lang, laking bagay traffic talaga dito.

Kakainggit mga Euro diesel na small car like a Lupo that can do a real-world 28-30km/li city hehe.

uh huh. im driving my aunt's car right now.a 2.2liter sedan. it averages 11-13kms/liter without traffic.mixed city and highway.

oo nga :twak: teka edit ko...

[mazdamazda]

and also our hot and humid climate... and you'll know why our fuel consumption isn't that good even when driving in light traffic.

[rab]

makapagbisikleta na nga lang pumasok sa opisina ulit.

[Driv3er]

lipat na lang tayo sa loob ng SBMA..para makaranas ng 4 way stop :D

[the_noise]

Road conditions and weather/climate also play a part. Mas mataas consumption ng gas dahil pangit ang kalye, mainit pa yung hangin na nahihigop. I haven't tried it pero baka di din ganun kalaki effect ng cold air intake dito considering how warm the weather is, at least compared to just a high intake/free flow filter.

[ghosthunter]

Given the price of gasoline is over P42/L ... converting to LPG is looking to be a very good alternative especially at the price of P23/L for LPG.

looking very good talaga itong option ng magpakabit ng lpg.

[XTO]

lower gear means more consumption. minsan tayo maka 4th or 5th gear dito sa manila dilikado pa tayo sa dami ng obstructions, i.e. kakaliwa, tatabi sa gitna, gegewang- gewang etc.

Driving in Manila or in Asian countries scares most if not all westeners, and they know it. Aside from the fuel price aspect, there's the whole darn old system still in place which makes us all wonder how on Earth can we still afford to buy our beloved ride/s, and still manage to drive to/from home safely? That is one thing we noyps motorists especially here at tsikot should be proud of. Amidst all of the troubles the present system poses for us, we find ways to assist each other through this forum and eb's not to survive the daily chaos but to become competent drivers per se. Consider the Formula 1 concept. We have to work around the FIA stringent regulations and still achieve good results which in our case better fuel economy. We draw from each other's vast wealth of resources to find out whether Paulina is indeed better than Angelica even if I'm personally rooting for Ozowa. Anyway a positive note for our bad fuel economy, well something similar to it- it's one of Singapore's instituted price control to regulate traffic. It encourages mass transit while telling us to stay off the road if you can't afford it. Unfortunately, accdg to another thread the Philippines is actually "RICH" so that no matter how high the price of fuel gets, we can't help but say "Full tank please" but that is another story mwahahah. Good day today, isn't it?

[topgun]

mag motorcyle at scooter na lang lahat hahaha
