Fuel consumption.

[gudboy]

Pls post fuel cunsumption ng kotse niyo if vtec or lancer glxi .

kasi tinitingnan ko ano mas matipid eh.

thanks!!

[chieffy]

sa SiR ko ave. is 7.25/liter, city driving, no mods, uses only RON95 gasoline, poured fuel system cleaner at baka mag-improve pa....

[zero]

8 kms./li for my lancer el
(malakas ba?):?

[saintluci]

ride ko lancer glxi 93... estimate ko is around 9-10Km/liter

fuel comsumption ko kasi is 500P/week with weekly trip meter reading 250-280km on the week average. that is daily drive from pasig to makati (with all the traffic) and vice versa.

medyo matipid ako kung susuriin kahit na matanda na ang engine kasi po

1. accelerate slow (huwag lalampas ng 2000rpm). actually I accelerate at 1500 pag talagang tipid at walang pambili ng diaper ng bata.
2. shift between 2000 to 2500 as others have said here before
3. study your thermostat-blower ratio. higher thermostat doesn't necessarily mean colder room temp. you can cool your car 1/4 thermostat but with #2 blower. less compressor operation = less fuel
4. when driving in no traffic road, keep your speed at minimum. aabot ka rin unless nagmamadali ka talaga. I usually keep between 65-75 on 5th gear on no traffic road. pa-amoy amoy lang sa gas at madalas cruising lang. mapapansin mo na yung mga hataw 100kph eh magkikita rin kayo sa stop light. nauna nga lang silang umabot.
5. proper maintenance (change oil, air/fuel/oil filter), tire pressure etc... as others have mentioned.

gas ko nga pala is shell velocity...

sa akin kasi dati mga 7.5 km/l sa caltex gold..
pag blaze naman 7 lang...

comment lang: tingin ko parehong matipid yan kungdi nga lang sa traffic.

palagay ko, kung panay hi-way driving ka at 100 kph, satisfactory ang fuel consumption ng mga iyan (mga 10 km/li or 11 or even higher).

bukod sa traffice conditions, nandiyan din ang mga ibang factors like road conditions (kung malubak), your own car's condition (tires, engine maintenance) and your own driving habits.

actually, the models you specified are really designed for power, speed and driving efficiency provided you have a road free of obstacles. fuel efficiency starts at 80 kph sabi sa manual. any speed lower than this entails more fuel consumed.

Sorry po medyo OT
Chieffy,
Ano yung fuel system cleaner? Magkano ito? How do I use it? Pwede din ba sa diesel ito?

gudboy: pareho lang tayo ng experience diyan. sayang nga lang at malakas humatak ang blaze. pero consumption ko very dismal compared sa vortex gold.

although city lang car ko, nakaka - 11 km/li ako pag vortex gold ang gamit ko. sa blaze, mga 10 lamang. mahal pa. balak kong magpa oil change ng Havoline Energy. balita ko sa mga ka-tsikot natin, it helps improve fuel efficiency by 10%. pag nag 25k check up na ako, lipat ako sa Havoline Energy.

2002 civic vti-s vtec3
10-11 km/lit.
i use vortex gold also.

[cliffjumper]

kakainggit naman kayo.. i'm averaging 6km/li. ok naman ang driving habits ko, hinay lang ako mag accelerate, tapos 2000-2500 rpm ako magchange gear.. i dont know whats wrong with my car (97 mazda familia) di naman sya ganun dati.. ok naman ang maintenance ko..
if you have tips, please share naman.. namumulubi na ako eh..

[Mike2]

Ang aking L200 ay umiinom ng 10 km/litro. :lol:

[lui]

saken po revo gl 1.8 efi...
7.5-8km/l po pg city

9-9.5km/l po pg hi way...
bsta ako ngshi shift bet. 2100 to 2500 rpm. pg rekta na 65-75 lang speed ko den tlagang gaan lang tpak ko sa gas pedal...

[Aston Martin]

6.5 km/l city driving = kakainis
13 km/li hway

bakit kaya ang laki ng difference?

[mbt]

fuel economy figures can vary drastically from case to case taking into account heaviness of traffic (very important), condition of the car,...

[gudboy]

oo nga badtrip ako kasi parati dumadaan sa heavy traffic..
hay...
cguro driving habits na din...
kailangan mababa mag shift na agad and bagal acceleration..
sana kahit na magka 9 km /l or 8.5 suyper ok na...para city driving.
mahal na kasi gas eh....:cry:

Chieffy,

Sagutin ko lang po tanong ni BlackMagic. Musta na pare ko? Mitsubishi Fuel System Cleaner (gawa rin ng Caltex) ang binili ko. Medyo mahal sa El Dorado = Php 566. Nandito si miogi ngayon(pa-undercoat niya bagong CRV niya) at sabi niya sa casa daw around Php 400+ lang. Post ko dito kung may improvement.

masama ba talagang magsi-shift pag above 2500 rpm? say at 3000 rpm?

meron kasing recommended speeds sa car manual kung saan don daw mag-shift to attain smooth driving. when i try to attain this speed my rpm shoots to 3000 and that's usually when i go shifting to the next gear.

is this bad?

[mbt]

for economy, it's better to shift at the lowest engine speed possible... don't follow the manual and shift by speed kasi medyo malabo sa atin yan... more practical to shift by rpm...
